KM 404 specifications

The Miele KM 404 is an exemplary induction cooktop that showcases the fusion of innovative technology and user-friendly design. Known for its high-quality performance and sleek aesthetics, it is a stellar addition to any modern kitchen.

One of the pivotal features of the KM 404 is its induction cooking technology. This method of cooking uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat the cookware rather than the cooktop surface itself, ensuring rapid heating and precise temperature control. As a result, water boils faster, and simmering sauces becomes an effortless task. This technology not only enhances cooking efficiency but also promotes safety, as the cooktop remains cool to the touch, significantly reducing the risk of burns.

The KM 404 boasts a generous cooking surface with multiple zones, providing ample space for various pots and pans. The cooktop includes a powerful dual-zone feature that allows users to utilize larger cookware, making it highly versatile for different culinary needs. Each cooking zone is equipped with a booster function, ensuring that high heat is delivered quickly when needed, perfect for searing meats or boiling large quantities of water.

Another noteworthy characteristic is Miele’s user-centric design. The KM 404 is equipped with intuitive touch controls that allow for effortless operation. Users can easily adjust settings, including temperature levels and timer functions, ensuring that cooking is not only efficient but also enjoyable. The clear LCD display provides real-time feedback, making it easy to monitor cooking progress.

Miele has also incorporated smart technology into the KM 404, which includes features like pan detection and automatic shut-off. This ensures that energy is used efficiently and that the cooktop is safe, as cooking zones deactivate when no cookware is detected. Additionally, the cooktop's sleek surface is easy to clean, requiring only a simple wipe to maintain its pristine appearance.

In conclusion, the Miele KM 404 is a top-tier induction cooktop that combines advanced features with a user-friendly interface. Its innovative cooking technology, versatile cooking zones, safety features, and elegant design make it an ideal choice for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike. With Miele’s commitment to quality and performance, the KM 404 represents an investment in culinary excellence for any kitchen.
