Miele 12-Inch 2-Burner Gas Modular Cooktop KM404

Date Published: 6/7/06

Part of Miele's modular CombiSet program, the KM404 is a 12-inch-wide unit that can be used in combination with lots of other Miele modules.

Full of possibilities, this two-burner gas cartridge can be paired with a barbeque, a wok burner, a griddle, a pair of electric elements, or a deep fryer.

The only gas component of the program, the KM404 offers electronic ignition and two completely sealed burners. The rear burner, rated at 9,212 Btu, has the highest output and is the element of choice for searing and boiling.

The front burner, with an output of 5,630 Btu, performs like a standard gas burner. A versatile choice, this model works equally well with natural and LP gas. Topped with durable cast-iron grates and a trivet insert, this model can be expected to withstand heavy use.

Those looking for a sleek, modern look may want to opt for the compatible Miele downdraft ventilation system that integrates perfectly with these modules.

Look to the Miele KM404 and its wealth of partners to create a unique cooking system custom tailored to the way you cook.

Pro: flexible options abound, create a customized cooking surface with this product and its partners
Con: an expensive option that will require access to both gas and electric fuels
