Cooking control and layout
Four gas cooking zones provide a flexible everyday cooking layout, including a high-power 3.9kW burner for faster heating. The rotary controls use StepPower to provide nine defined settings, making it easier to select and repeat a preferred heat level.
The 60cm format is a familiar size for many kitchens, while the black glass surface gives the hob a contemporary appearance. The available information does not provide detailed burner spacing or pan-support construction, so those aspects cannot be assessed here.
Visibility and safety
FlameLight LEDs provide visual feedback from levels 1 to 9 and indicate whether a burner is switched on. Residual heat information also helps show when the pan supports may remain hot after cooking.
Flame Failure Safety uses thermocouple protection to cut off the gas supply if a flame goes out. A Minute Minder adds a useful reminder for timed cooking, although it is described as a timer aid rather than an automatic zone shut-off feature.
Connected extraction and installation
Hob2Hood can wirelessly activate a compatible cooker hood and adjust functions such as fan speed in response to cooking activity. This could make everyday extraction more convenient, provided the hood is compatible.
The hob is supplied with a Plug-and-Play 13A plug and a gas safety device according to the available product information. Installation requirements beyond this are not specified, so professional installation and local gas-safety requirements should be checked before fitting.
