Where to buy the Miele hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Miele KM 8695-2 FL MattFinish induction hob offers a genuinely flexible alternative to conventional fixed-zone designs. Its single 870 x 380mm full-area surface can accommodate up to six pans, while intelligent recognition and six MultiSlide controls make it practical for multi-pan cooking.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Full-surface induction allows cookware to be positioned freely across an 870 x 380mm cooking area
- ✓ Supports up to six pans, making it well suited to multi-pan cooking and large cookware
- ✓ Separate, precise control for cookware and timers
- ✓ M Sense ready, Miele@home and Con@ctivity add connected cooking options
Worth considering
- The 936mm width requires a large worktop and a substantially sized installation cut-out
- Its 9.2kW total rated load can make electrical installation more demanding than with lower-powered hobs
- One full-area cooking zone rather than several conventional individually marked zones, which may not suit buyers who prefer a familiar fixed-zone layout
- The most advanced assisted-cooking functions depend on compatible M Sense cookware

Flexible full-surface cooking
The Miele KM 8695-2 FL MattFinish induction hob uses one full-area cooking zone measuring 870 x 380mm, with cookware position selectable freely across the surface. Miele specifies capacity for up to six pans, making this more adaptable than a conventional hob with fixed zone markings.
The full-surface layout is useful when combining large pans, griddles or roasting dishes, while intelligent pan and pan-size recognition can help the controls follow cookware as it is moved.
Precise controls and connected features
Six MultiSlide controls provide separate adjustment for cookware, with clear power and timer control. Booster raises the cooking area's maximum rating from 2600W to 3650W for faster heat-up when required.
The Miele KM 8695-2 FL MattFinish induction hob is M Sense ready and supports Miele@home and Con@ctivity networking. Professional mode, Stop & Go, keeping warm, recall, automatic heat-up and assistance programmes add useful flexibility beyond basic power control.
Installation and everyday ownership
The 936mm appliance can be installed surface-mounted or flush-fit, giving kitchen designers more choice over the final appearance. Its matt black glass-ceramic MattFinish surface is specified as scratch-resistant and is designed to reduce the visibility of fingerprints.
This is a substantial built-in appliance, weighing 20kg and requiring a 9.2kW total rated load. Installation therefore needs careful planning, an appropriate worktop cut-out and a suitable electrical connection by a qualified installer.
Overall assessment
The Miele KM 8695-2 FL MattFinish induction hob is at its most convincing when its full-surface layout, six-pan capacity and connected assistance features will be used regularly. It offers a particularly high level of flexibility for busy or ambitious home cooking.
Its value is less compelling for buyers who mainly use one or two standard pans and would gain little from full-surface cooking or M Sense compatibility.
