Cooking performance and control
The four-zone layout includes two 200mm zones and two 160mm zones, with the supplied information indicating power ratings of up to 3kW and 2.1kW respectively. Booster mode is designed to provide faster heating when required.
Chef Cook is a distinctive control feature: three zones can be set to different power levels, allowing a pan to be moved between areas for different heat intensities. Automatic pan recognition, selective pan detection and adjustable power levels add further flexibility.
Convenience and safety
The touch-control interface is supported by automatic preheating and a 45°C keep-warm programme. A cooking timer covering 1 to 600 minutes, a minute minder and pause-and-recall functionality provide useful control during busy cooking sessions.
Safety features include an electronic child lock, residual heat indicators, an overflow alarm and automatic safety shutoff. The power limiter is also intended to help prevent electrical overloads, while the induction surface focuses heat on compatible pans and is described as easy to clean.
Design and suitability
At 80cm wide, this is aimed at kitchens with room for a generous hob rather than compact cooking areas. Its black glass finish is paired with a 40mm AISI 304 stainless-steel perimeter frame, giving the surface a premium, structured appearance.
The available product information supports a strong feature-led assessment, but does not provide installation dimensions or detailed electrical installation requirements. Those details should be confirmed before purchase, particularly because the stated adjustable power range reaches 7.4kW.
Research note: this BestBuysUK assessment is based on the manufacturer's published specifications and other reputable technical sources. Specifications and retailer availability can change, so verify critical details before purchase.
