'Active' offers enhanced features at attractive prices

Gütersloh/Cologne, January 16, 2017 No. 002/2017

New Miele entry-line oven models with spacious cabinet and user-friendly display

Greater convenience, more elegance and better value for money: With its new 'Active' models, Miele is upgrading its entry-line ovens.

The centrepiece of the new products is the large oven interior. With a volume of 76 l (predecessor 56 l), the oven interior on these models represent the largest on the market for conventional ovens. It features five rack levels and, like all Miele models, sports Miele's patented PerfectClean finish. This surface finish is characterised by its excellent non-stick properties which makes cleaning incredibly simple. Nine operating modes are available for preparing food.

The display has been upgraded: Operating modes and power settings are selected using rotary selectors; pushbuttons are available to operate the clock/timer, including programming (EasyControl). In combination with the stainless-steel CleanSteel (fingerprint-proof) fascia and the black glass door, Active units exude a contemporary, elegant feeling.

Despite these additional features, this entry-line oven offering excellent value for money will be available at a price of € 599; the starting price for a unit with pyrolytic cleaning is € 849, lower than ever before (in both cases RRP in Germany). 'Active units are an important and integral part of our value-added offensive which is expected to significantly increase both unit sales and market shares', says Ina Laukötter, Director Product Management Hobs and Hoods at Miele.

The Active model series is due to be launched in May 2017.
