Miele has unveiled its innovative Generation 7000 range comprising 353 new kitchen appliances, making it the biggest launch in the German manufacturers 120-year history. The built-in appliances feature modern and elegant products from ovens and hob units to coffee machines and dishwashers. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi connects the appliance to the Miele App, enabling a host of convenient functions. The new cooking range includes MotionReact, a cross-product feature wherein a Miele appliance senses the proximity of the user and activates the oven light and control panel, and deactivates the buzzer at the end of a programme. Additionally, TasteControl - a world’s first in ovens - prevents food from overcooking by automatically opening the door slightly and activating the fan to bring the temperature in the oven interior down rapidly, once cooked. And for the best possible results, FoodView features an integrated camera inside the oven compartment, transmitting high-definition images to a smartphone or a tablet. Adjustments can easily be made to the temperature and length of the current cooking cycle, from your mobile device. Visit miele.ae
