What defines a smart kitchen?

A smart kitchen connects appliances to apps, AI, and voice assistants² to automate and enhance everyday tasks. From hobs that respond to your cookware, helping maintain optimal temperatures and reduce the risk of burning, to dishwashers that run when energy cost is low, smart appliances are designed to create a kitchen that fits effortlessly into your lifestyle. Miele makes this tangible. Imagine coming home with hands full of groceries and saying “Alexa, open the fridge” - Miele’s ActiveDoor¹ responds instantly. Preparing dinner? SmartFood ID¹ uses camera recognition to identify your dish and selects the best oven settings. And with FoodView¹, you can check on your browning level from your phone, whether you’re out walking the dog or helping with homework.  FoodView¹ is also available in some of our new MasterCool III series models—so you can see what’s inside your fridge anytime, helping you shop efficiently, avoid double purchases, and reduce food waste.

The role of technology in modern kitchen environments

At Miele, we believe technology should feel effortless. It’s there when you need it, silent when you don’t. With the Miele app¹, you can manage your appliances from your phone, wherever you are.  Appliances communicate, adapt, and support without you having to think twice, helping your home run more smoothly with less effort.  Miele’s smart approach also supports sustainable living. Energy dashboards¹ help track water and electricity use, while features like EcoFeedback¹, and AutoDos make it easier to reduce energy consumption and keep appliances performing at their best. It offers a new level of convenience, efficiency and control.  Miele’s vision is to create a home that works around you - seamlessly, intelligently and responsibly.

Ovens, hobs and cooker hoods:

Intelligent cooking solutions

Smart, seamless, and centered on your needs—Miele’s intelligent kitchen appliances redefine convenience, precision and performance. Discover how our ovens, hobs, cooker hoods, and complementary appliances communicate and adapt to bring out the best in your cooking.

Smart ovens that know what’s cooking

Miele ovens aren’t just precise—they’re perceptive. With Smart Food ID¹—available on selected models—, your oven can automatically recognise a dish and select the optimal automatic programme to help you achieve great results every time. Whether it’s a homemade lasagne or a store-bought pizza, your oven does the thinking for you. Add FoodView¹ into the mix—a built-in camera that lets you check your dish remotely via the Miele app¹ —and you’re in complete control, even when you’re not in the kitchen. It’s intelligent assistance designed to make every meal effortless.

Guided perfection with smart hobs

Miele induction hobs with TempControl offer more than speed and safety—they offer guidance. With CookAssist¹, the hob becomes your culinary coach. The Miele app¹ walks you through each step of the cooking process while ensuring the pan is heated to the precise temperature the dish requires thanks to the intelligent TempControl sensor. It automatically adjusts the heat to help deliver consistently reliable results. Whether you’re searing steak or flipping pancakes, CookAssist ensures precision without the guesswork.

Cooker hoods that adjust to the moment

Lighting isn’t just functional—it’s atmospheric. Selected Miele cooker hoods offer two distinct ways to personalise your kitchen ambience via the Miele app¹:

With DynamicWhite¹, you can fine-tune the hood lighting’s colour temperature – from warm white to cool white – creating the perfect ambience to suit your kitchen. The lighting becomes an integral part of the room’s design, blending effortlessly with other light sources.
AmbientLight¹ adds another layer of atmosphere with customisable coloured lighting that subtly illuminates your kitchen environment. Choose from a spectrum of hues—blue, red, yellow, and more—for a warm, welcoming glow or a bold design accent.

Con@ctivity: Effortless appliance communication

Miele’s Con@ctivity¹ technology allows your hob and hood to work in sync. When you start cooking, the hood adjusts ventilation automatically, then powers down when you finish. And thanks to improved communication between hob and hood, it continuously adapts to your habits. If you manually adjust the power level a couple of times in the same direction, the system recognises your preference and refines the algorithm accordingly. Over time, ventilation becomes more personalized. When connecting your oven to the hood and pyrolytic cleaning is activated, the hood switches on to remove any odours. It’s intelligent harmony, working behind the scenes to keep your kitchen environment pristine.

A smarter kitchen ecosystem

Intelligence extends beyond cooking with Miele. Built-in coffee machines and warming drawers—available on selected models—also feature Con@ctivity¹. If your coffee machine has a scheduled wake-up time, the warming drawer activates 30 minutes earlier—so your cups are perfectly pre-warmed.

For effortless, delicious results

Let your appliances take the lead

Miele cooking technology is designed to make life in the kitchen easier, more enjoyable—and reliably delicious. 

Smart Food ID¹
Smart Food ID uses a built-in camera to recognise what you’ve placed in the oven—whether it’s lasagne or pizza. The oven then suggests the ideal setting and duration automatically. All you need to do is confirm and press start—no menus, no manual setup. For dishes like pizza or cookies, the oven continues to monitor browning in real time and stops the cooking process once optimal results are reached. It’s the effortless way to cook with confidence.
FoodView¹
A camera inside the oven lets you monitor your dish remotely via the Miele app. Whether you’re entertaining or simply in another room, you can see what’s happening without opening the door.

CookAssist (via the Miele app)¹
CookAssist is your step-by-step cooking companion for more hands-on dishes like steak, fish or pancakes. Used with Miele induction hobs with TempControl, it guides you through each stage via the Miele app and automatically keeps the pan at the perfect temperature. It’s a smart, intuitive way to get delicious results.

Smart kitchen ecosystem¹
Miele appliances are designed to work beautifully together. Your warming drawer can be set to preheat your cups automatically if your built-in coffee machine is on a timer. Everything is synchronised through the Miele app or voice assistant², so that each element of your kitchen supports the next. It’s effortless orchestration for your daily routine.

Voice control integration

With voice control², you can use simple voice commands to manage your appliances. Say, “preheat the oven to 180 degrees” and carry on prepping—no hands needed.
