Miele KMR 1136-3 Rangetop

Yes, because this is a high-performance gas rangetop with powerful burners, it requires a professional-grade ventilation hood to effectively remove heat, smoke, and grease. Since this model does not feature integrated downdraft ventilation, you will need to plan for an overhead hood installation.

The stainless steel surface features a specialized finish designed to resist fingerprints, which helps keep it looking clean with minimal effort. Additionally, the heavy-duty grates are dishwasher-safe, allowing you to simply remove them and place them in your dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

The integrated griddle provides a large, flat, and consistent cooking surface that is ideal for tasks like searing proteins, making pancakes, or sautéing vegetables. It offers more versatility than a standard burner, allowing you to cook multiple items simultaneously without needing extra pans.

The automatic re-ignition system is a safety and convenience feature that detects if a flame has been extinguished—perhaps by a breeze or a spill—and immediately attempts to relight it. This ensures your cooking remains consistent and prevents gas from escaping if the flame goes out unexpectedly.

While they certainly look sleek, the illuminated knobs serve a functional purpose by clearly indicating when a burner is active. This provides a quick visual confirmation of your settings, which is particularly helpful for safety and precision when managing multiple burners at once.

This is a built-in gas appliance that requires precise installation, including gas line connections and adherence to local building codes. We strongly recommend having a professional installer handle the setup to ensure safety and proper performance.
