Where to buy the Miele KM 7373 FL hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Miele KM 7373 FL hob combines four induction zones with two linked flex sections, creating a 210 x 400mm cooking area for large cookware. ComfortSelect numerical controls, pan recognition, automatic heat-up, Stop&Go, Recall, keep warm and timer functions give it a comprehensive everyday specification. It is particularly well suited to a new or substantially redesigned kitchen, because the 800mm footprint, 7.30kW total load and choice of surface-mounted or flush-fit installation need to be considered before fitting. Miele@home and Con@ctivity are useful additions for compatible connected appliances, but they are not essential to the core cooking experience.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ A combinable 210 x 400mm flex cooking area for large rectangular cookware
- ✓ 3.65kW booster rating on the combined flex area supports rapid heating
- ✓ ComfortSelect numerical controls allow direct selection of power levels
- ✓ Pan recognition, pan-size recognition and permanent pan recognition simplify everyday cooking
- ✓ Stop&Go, Recall, auto heat-up, keep warm and timed switch-off
- ✓ Optional connected-appliance control
- ✓ Surface-mounted and flush-fit installation are both supported
- ✓ Lock functions, overheating protection and residual-heat indicators
Worth considering
- At 800mm wide, it needs a 750–780mm surface-mounted cut-out or a 780/804mm flush-fit cut-out, so it is not a direct replacement for a standard 600mm hob
- There are four cooking zones rather than five or six, meaning the extra width is used mainly for larger cookware and spacing rather than more independent zones
- The 7.30kW total load is shared between linked cooking zones, so using several high-power settings can reduce the power available to another zone

Official specifications distinguish the 7.30kW total hob load from the 3.65kW maximum booster rating for the combined flex cooking area.
Flexible induction cooking
The Miele KM 7373 FL induction hob has four cooking zones, including two flex sections that can be combined into a 210 x 400mm cooking area. This gives it a useful advantage for large rectangular cookware, while the two dual-circuit rings provide more conventional cooking positions for smaller pans.
The combined flex area has a maximum booster rating of 3.65kW, and the hob's total rated load is 7.30kW. Induction pan and pan-size recognition are included, helping the hob activate the appropriate controls and match the heated area more closely to the cookware.
Clear controls and practical functions
ComfortSelect uses a numerical touch control layout for direct power-level selection rather than requiring repeated presses through a menu. The Miele KM 7373 FL hob also includes permanent pan recognition, a minute minder, automatic switch-off timing, Stop&Go, Recall, auto heat-up and a keep-warm function.
These functions make the hob well suited to multitasking. Stop&Go can reduce active zones to a low setting during a brief interruption, while Recall can restore settings after the hob has been switched off temporarily.
Installation and smart connectivity
At 800mm wide, the Miele KM 7373 FL hob is intended for larger kitchen layouts rather than a standard 600mm replacement. It supports both surface-mounted and flush-fit installation, with a 53mm height and a 520mm depth. The supplied installation information specifies different cut-out dimensions for each mounting method.
Miele@home and Con@ctivity add connected features, including communication with a compatible Miele cooker hood. The connected functions require suitable equipment, app setup and network availability, so they are most useful when the rest of the kitchen is built around the same ecosystem.
Safety and everyday ownership
The black glass-ceramic surface is described by Miele as easy to clean. Safety equipment includes safety switch-off, a lock function, system lock, overheating protection, an integrated cooling fan and residual-heat indicators.
The hob weighs 11kg and operates from a 230V supply. Its mains cable is included, but the installation instructions require connection by a qualified electrician, which should be allowed for when planning the kitchen work.
