Miele presents a new series of built-in appliances in matt obsidian black. This comprises an oven, a compact combi microwave oven, a combi steam oven, a warmer and vacuum drawer, a built-in coffee machine and a wine storage unit. These products are complemented by induction hob units, cooker hoods and front panels for dishwashers with Knock2Open technology. The basis for the new collection is provided by the handleless ArtLine range. The appearance is characterised by full-surface glass fronts with integrated displays. Technically, the ArtLine models are based on built-in models from Miele’s 7000 generation of kitchen appliances with one key difference: instead of being opened with a handle, these appliances respond to a tap on a sensor integrated into the control panel (Touch2Open). This activates a motor to unlock the door, which then glides open and is cushioned at its lowest point. The door, too, sports the new colour: visually and haptically as the glass surface has a velvety feel to it. In line with the design of the new built-in appliances, Miele proposes induction hobs with a new matt ceramic glass surface. The structure underlines not only the puristic design of these hobs but is also scratch-resistant. As a result, hob units with ceramic glass with a matt finish retain their high-end pristine appearance over time. A further benefit of a structured surface is the anti-fingerprint effect. Two new headroom hoods with a glass panel in obsidian black are also in tune with the new built-in appliances. The canopy appears elegant and minimalistic as it has a reduced height and width compared with previous models. The glass deflector now has a steeper incline and offers taller persons a little more space when cooking. Air is drawn in around the panel through a gap. The obsidian black controls with white indicators are located above the panel. With the new DynamicWhite feature, the hob unit downlighting adapts to the kitchen environment. The colour temperature of the lighting can be adjusted to suit personal preferences using the Miele app. This is made possible by warm white and cold white LED lights which can be varied in their intensity to control mood lighting. This allows colour temperatures between 2700 K (warm white) and 6500 K (cold white). The energy-saving ECO motor ensures an A++ energy efficiency class as well as high air throughput combined with low sound emissions. Models are available with widths of 80 cm and 90 cm. Besides, the new matt black KWT 7112 iG built-in wine unit offers space for 18 bottles. This unit for a 45 cm recess boasts an Active AirClean filter, flexible beech racks (FlexiFrame) and LED lighting. The wine unit is handleless thanks to Push2open technology. Finally, Miele also offers a handleless front panel made from glass in matt obsidian black for fully integrated 60 cm wide dishwashers with Knock2Open.
