MARCH 2015 RETAILOBSERVER.COM 17 HARMONIOUS DESIGN Miele's current line of built-in appliances, Generation 6000, offers the consumer the ability to have one, unifying design throughout their kitchen. The Range Series is a perfect complement– offering a seamless look and common user interface. The design exudes quality and functionality from its heavy duty knobs, with unique backlit feature, to the sturdy handle that completes the refined professional look. PRECISE PERFORMANCE The oven technology offered in the range is the same technology that Miele has been perfecting since the company introduced the built-in oven category in 1974. The oven is a fully-functioning convection oven, including features like MasterChef™ and MasterChef Plus™ with over 100 semi-automatic culinary programs and 15 fully automatic bread programs respectively. The cooktop delivers superior flexibility with the M Pro dual stacked burner system–offering up to 19,500 BTUs and TrueSimmer capability. On 36" and 48" models, the option of a high power M Pro Grill and M Pro Infrared Griddle are available for customized cooking. PURPOSEFUL INNOVATION Miele has long believed that innovations should be for the purpose of simplifying and improving the user's experience. Features of the range include the ComfortLift Panel, which tilts at 35° with the touch of a button for easier visibility, the Wireless Roast Probe for safe and precise performance and Moisture Plus™ technology that introduces bursts of steam for the perfect cooking environment for succulent meats and golden, flaky crusts. All Dual Fuel and induction ranges also feature the M Touch display panel, a highly intuitive user interface that allows for easy navigation with the swipe of a finger. EFFORTLESS OPERATION Offered in sizes from 30 to 36 to 48 inches, and in power options from all gas, all electric, induction and dual fuel, a range is available to fit every kitchen configuration. Refined operation is present in details like the ComfortSwivel handle and soft close and soft open. Cleaning and maintenance are made effortless with ComfortClean dishwasher-safe grates and a Clean Touch Steel™ front resistant to fingerprints and smudges. FLAGSHIP MODEL The 48" Dual Fuel model is unmistakably the masterpiece of the collection. Complete with a fully-functioning convection oven, a speed oven (combining convection and microwave technologies), a warming drawer and up to 8 burners. The cooktop is also available with the M Pro Grill or M Pro Infrared Griddle. This range will guide the user to extraordinary culinary adventures. To learn more, visit www.mieleusa.com. The Range Series, launched in January 2015, also includes rangetops and range hoods. The rangetops offer the same precise performance of the M Pro dual stacked burner system that can be found in the ranges. In addition, 36" and 48" models are available with the M Pro grill or M Pro infrared griddle. The range hoods are the perfect complement to a range or rangetop, offering appropriate ventilation for optimal extraction and grease separation.
