Where to buy the Miele hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Miele KMDA 7876-1 FL MattFinish vented induction hob is a sophisticated two-in-one appliance for kitchens where a separate hood would interrupt the design. Its four induction zones are arranged as two PowerFlex XL areas, giving useful flexibility for large cookware, while the MattFinish glass-ceramic surface, integrated extractor and connected controls create a polished feature set. Installation is more involved than for a standard hob, but the appliance offers ducted, guided recirculation and Plug&Play recirculation options.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Combines four induction zones with integrated vapour extraction
- ✓ A+ extraction energy rating with A fluid-dynamic and grease-filtering efficiency classes
- ✓ MattFinish glass is scratch-resistant and helps reduce fingerprints
- ✓ Useful connected and automatic extraction control
- ✓ Ducted, guided recirculation and Plug&Play recirculation installation options are supported
Worth considering
- The 238mm-high casing and 20kg weight make installation more demanding than a slim hob-only unit
- Ducted installation needs careful cabinet planning, including access to the rear cabinet wall and at least 110mm of routing space for the extraction duct
- Recirculation is noisier than ducted operation in the manufacturer’s figures, reaching 68dB at maximum and 70dB on boost
- Four zones in two large 230 x 460mm areas rather than five separate cooking zones, so pan placement is more structured than on some conventional wide hobs

The manufacturer gives separate noise figures for ducted extraction and recirculation; the 70dB figure applies to recirculation boost rather than every operating mode.
Integrated cooking and extraction
The Miele KMDA 7876-1 FL MattFinish vented induction hob combines four induction zones with a built-in vapour extractor, keeping extraction at the centre of the cooking surface rather than requiring a separate hood. It supports ducted extraction, guided recirculation and Plug&Play recirculation, giving kitchen designers several installation routes.
Extraction performance varies by operating mode. In ducted use, the manufacturer quotes airflow of 205m³/h at minimum, 533m³/h at maximum and 606m³/h on intensive. Recirculation figures are lower at 160m³/h, 475m³/h and 510m³/h respectively.
Flexible induction layout
The four cooking zones are arranged as two 230 x 460mm PowerFlex XL cooking areas. This layout is well suited to large cookware and lets the user combine adjacent zones for bigger pans, griddles or oven dishes.
Each PowerFlex XL area is rated at up to 3,400W, with Booster output up to 4,800W and TwinBooster output up to 7,300W. Permanent pan recognition, auto heat-up, keeping warm and a minute minder add useful everyday control.
Controls and connected features
ComfortSelect White sensor controls provide a clear numerical power display, while Stop & Go, recall, safety switch-off, residual-heat indication and system locking cover common cooking and safety needs.
Miele@home and Con@ctivity add connected functionality. Con@ctivity can coordinate the extractor with hob activity, while smart-home integration allows the appliance to form part of a compatible connected kitchen.
Cleaning, efficiency and installation
The matt black MattFinish glass-ceramic surface is designed to resist scratches and reduce fingerprints. Miele also specifies a CleanCover interior and dishwasher-safe grease filters, helping with routine cleaning around the integrated extractor.
The hob has an A+ extraction energy rating, A fluid-dynamic efficiency and A grease-filtering efficiency. Installation needs careful planning: the appliance is 800mm wide, 238mm high and 520mm deep, weighs 20kg, and requires a 780 x 500mm surface-mounted cut-out or an 804 x 524mm external flush-fit cut-out.
Noise and operating modes
The manufacturer publishes separate sound figures for ducted extraction and recirculation rather than one universal noise rating. Ducted operation is rated at 41dB at minimum, 64dB at maximum and 68dB on boost, while recirculation reaches 46dB, 68dB and 70dB respectively.
That makes ducted extraction the quieter route on paper, while Plug&Play or guided recirculation can simplify installation where external ducting is impractical.
