The Miele KM6370 represents premium German engineering in induction cooking technology, featuring a sophisticated 36-inch design with five cooking zones and PowerFlex functionality. For countertop fabricators working with this high-end appliance, precision cutout execution is essential to ensure proper installation and optimal performance. This professional-grade template provides exact dimensions verified against Miele factory specifications, enabling fabricators to deliver flawless installations in luxury kitchen projects.
Installation Overview
Installing the Miele KM6370 requires a precisely cut opening of 34.5 inches wide by 20.375 inches deep, with corner radii of 0.375 inches (3/8"). The cooktop features a flush-mount installation design with a stainless steel frame that sits elegantly within the countertop surface. The overall unit dimensions measure 36 inches wide by 21.4375 inches deep, providing minimal overhang around the cutout perimeter. Fabricators should ensure adequate substrate support around the cutout edges, particularly for unsupported materials like quartz or engineered stone. The induction unit requires 240V electrical service rated at 50 amps, which necessitates coordination with electrical contractors regarding access cutouts or wire routing through the countertop substrate. Maintain at least 2 inches of solid material from the cutout edge to any seam locations, and verify that cabinet modifications accommodate the 4.75-inch installation depth beneath the countertop surface.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming CNC operations for the KM6370 cutout, accuracy within ±1/32 inch is critical for proper frame alignment and support. Begin with a 3/8-inch radius corner tool to create the specified corner radii in a single pass, ensuring smooth curves without faceting. For granite and natural stone, use a 1/2-inch diamond-coated router bit at 15,000-18,000 RPM with water cooling to prevent thermal cracking. Quartz and engineered stone require slower feed rates (40-60 inches per minute) with aggressive water flow to manage heat buildup and prevent resin scorching. The 34.5-inch width dimension is critical—any variation beyond tolerance may prevent proper frame seating or create unsightly gaps. Execute the cutout from the finished surface side whenever possible to minimize edge chipping, and apply edge support tape on delicate materials like marble or softer stones. For through-cuts in thick materials (3cm+), perform a secondary relief pass 1/8 inch inside the finish line before the final full-depth cut to reduce cutting forces and improve edge quality. Always verify bit diameter compensation in your CAM software matches the actual tool being used on the machine.
Material Compatibility
This template accommodates all standard countertop materials with proper tooling adjustments. Granite fabricators should use segmented diamond router bits with adequate cooling, maintaining consistent feed rates to prevent burn marks around the long straight edges. Quartz installations benefit from carbide-tipped tooling with higher tooth counts to manage the harder resin-bonded aggregate, though cutting speeds must be reduced to prevent melting the polymer binder. Marble and softer natural stones cut cleanly with standard diamond tools but require edge reinforcement consideration due to the material's lower tensile strength—consider epoxy-reinforced mesh backing within 3 inches of cutout edges. Solid surface materials like Corian cut efficiently with carbide router bits, allowing for easy on-site adjustments if needed, though the 240V/50A electrical requirements may necessitate substrate penetrations that require careful sealing. Porcelain slab installations demand specialized diamond tooling and reduced feed rates due to extreme hardness, with particular attention to corner radii where cracking risk is highest. For ultra-thin materials (6mm-12mm), consider fabricating a support frame or sub-deck structure that extends beyond the cutout perimeter to prevent flexing around the induction unit.
Where to Buy
The Miele KM6370 is available through authorized Miele dealers, luxury appliance showrooms, and specialty kitchen retailers throughout North America. Typical retail pricing ranges from $2,800 to $3,500 depending on regional market and dealer incentives. Fabricators should verify the exact model number (KM6370) with clients, as Miele offers several 36-inch induction variants with different frame finishes and control configurations that may have slightly different cutout specifications. For fabricator wholesale or project pricing, contact Miele Professional Sales division or work through established builder/dealer networks. When coordinating installation schedules, note that Miele induction cooktops typically ship within 2-4 weeks of order placement, though custom configurations or back-ordered models may extend lead times. Recommend that clients purchase the appliance before final template confirmation, as verifying the actual unit against specifications prevents costly remakes if model substitutions occur.
