Rethinking Cooking: Miele’s New KM 8000 hobs Combine Innovation & Design

Gütersloh/Rödinghausen, September 19, 2025 No. 078/2025
  • Nothing burns. Nothing boils over thanks to the intelligent “M Sense” system

  • More flexibility: generous cooking zones or full-surface induction

  • New controls for quick overview and intuitive operation

From cooking with children to elegant dinners with guests: the new generation of Miele induction hobs is revolutionizing the home cooking experience. Thanks to intelligent technologies that automatically adjust power and generously designed cooking surfaces, the KM 8000 series offers absolute flexibility and maximum convenience. Premium glass surfaces and intuitive controls combine aesthetics with functionality.

Fond The KM 8000 series hobs offer maximum flexibility. With full-surface induction, up to six pots or pans can be placed anywhere – without predefined cooking zones. Intelligent pan detection automatically identifies the position of cookware and adjusts power and controls accordingly. Other models feature large “PowerFlex” cooking zones that can be used individually or combined, accommodating everything from small pots to large roasting pans or grill plates. Power levels follow the cookware as it’s moved across the surface. With a maximum output of 7.3 kW, PowerFlex zones also enable rapid heating.

These models also feature optimized induction technology, characterized by quiet operation and improved performance with cookware made from various materials.

Nothing Burns. Nothing Boils Over. Intelligent System Automatically Regulates Power

For relaxed everyday cooking, the KM 8000 hobs can be paired with M Sense cookware, which includes integrated touch controls and up to three temperature sensors. This patented system ensures that boiling pasta water or burnt steaks become a thing of the past. The cookware communicates with the cooktop, which automatically adjusts power to suit the cooking process. Precise results and stress-free cooking leave more time for what matters. Many cooktop models are “M Sense ready” and compatible with M Sense cookware.

“Our goal is to design intelligent technology that supports everyday life without distracting from it,” says Dr. Uwe Brunkhorst, Senior Vice President Business Unit Cooking at Miele. “With the new KM 8000 series, we combine smart assistance, intuitive operation, and a design that will continue to inspire for years to come.”

Unique Design Meets Durability

Glossy or matte? The new hobs are available in various glass ceramic finishes. “DiamondFinish” features a highly durable, glossy surface that effectively resists scratches and maintains a lasting shine. “MattFinish”, on the other hand, offers a unique matte black design that is especially resistant to scratches and fingerprints – ensuring a premium look that lasts.

A distinctive detail in selected models is the new “LightLine” – a subtle LED line that elegantly highlights the active cooking area. The clean lines emphasize the modern design. Depending on the model, hobs are available with stainless steel frames, frameless, or with black side trims. With widths of 60, 75, 80, and 90 centimeters, the series offers tailored solutions for every kitchen size.

Intuitive Operation and Maximum Convenience

The KM 8000 series impresses with intuitive controls and thoughtful comfort features. Most models feature “MultiSlide” controls, giving each pot or pan its own slider with clear displays for power levels and timers. Even the range hood can be operated directly from the cooktop – no need to reach over hot pots.

In Professional Mode, the full-surface induction hobs can be divided into three power zones – from high heat for searing at the front to low heat for warming at the back. The unique feature: power adjusts automatically as cookware is moved, offering full control for a professional cooking experience.

Smart Extras*

For added convenience and inspiration, the Miele app* will offer new features. FoodAssistant will help find the right program for various ingredients and send it directly to the cookware. For complete meals, CookAssist will guide users step-by-step through tried-and-tested recipes tailored to M Sense cookware. Temperature and cooking time are automatically transferred for guaranteed success.

The proven Con@ctivity feature ensures clean air: in connected systems, the range hood responds automatically when the cooktop is switched on or off, adjusting ventilation power accordingly.

The new models will be available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland starting spring 2026, with additional markets to follow later in the year.
