Where to buy the Fisher & Paykel CI764DTTB1 hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Fisher & Paykel CI764DTTB1 hob is a premium 76cm built-in induction model with four cooking zones, PowerBoost and SmartZone linking for large pans or griddles. Its black glass surface, flush-installation potential and central 6-inch touchscreen give it a distinctly design-led feel.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ SmartZone links two zones for large pans, griddles and elongated cookware
- ✓ PowerBoost is available across all four zones, with up to 3, 700W specified on three zones
- ✓ Centralised control for the hob and compatible modular products
- ✓ SmartHQ connectivity enables remote monitoring of power levels, timers and temperature-sensor readings
- ✓ A wireless temperature sensor is included for more controlled cooking and temperature monitoring
- ✓ Useful safety coverage
Worth considering
- The 32A service requirement and terminal-block connection mean it needs planned electrical installation rather than a simple plug-in replacement
- Less tactile feedback than a hob with physical dials or dedicated controls
- The 76cm footprint is wider than a standard 60cm hob, so it needs a larger worktop space and compatible installation area
- Four zones may be limiting when several separate pans are needed simultaneously, even though SmartZone adds flexibility for large cookware

Design and installation
The Fisher & Paykel hob is a wide 76cm built-in induction model with a black glass surface and a relatively slim 62mm overall height. Its flush-installation design suits contemporary worktops, although the 760mm width needs more space than a standard 60cm hob.
Electrical installation is more involved than with a plug-in appliance: the specification calls for a terminal-block connection and a 32A service. Installation should therefore be planned with the kitchen layout and existing electrical supply in mind.
Cooking flexibility and performance
Four induction zones provide fast, directly controlled heating, with PowerBoost available on every zone. The published maximum ratings range from 2,200W on the centre rear zone to 3,700W on the three larger zones.
SmartZone links two cooking zones so they can be controlled as one area. That is useful for large pans, griddles and elongated cookware, and gives this hob more flexibility than a conventional four-zone layout.
The hob also includes a wireless temperature sensor. It can monitor food temperature and support more controlled tasks such as poaching or sous-vide cooking when used with the hob's temperature functions.
Controls and connected features
A central 6-inch touchscreen replaces physical dials and provides control of the cooking zones, timers and compatible modular products. The interface keeps the glass surface visually clean and allows the hob to act as the control point for a wider modular cooking arrangement.
SmartHQ connectivity allows users to check active-zone power levels, timer settings and paired temperature-sensor readings from a smartphone. Alerts can report timer events and temperature milestones, making the connected features more useful for longer or more precise cooking.
Safety and everyday use
Keylock, pan detection, safety time-out and surface-hot indicators provide a solid set of everyday safety functions. The flat glass surface should also be straightforward to wipe once it has cooled.
The main trade-off is the touchscreen-only approach. It looks sleek and enables the centralised modular controls, but it gives less tactile feedback than a hob with dedicated rotary or physical touch controls. Four zones are also less suitable for cooks who routinely need several separate pans at once, despite the added flexibility of SmartZone.
Overall assessment
The Fisher & Paykel hob is a feature-rich built-in induction model aimed at design-conscious kitchens and cooks who will use its SmartZone, temperature-sensor and connected functions. Its strong zone output, wide cooking surface and modular compatibility make it more versatile than a basic four-zone induction hob.
It is less compelling for buyers seeking simple controls or an easy replacement with minimal electrical work. The 32A installation requirement, wider footprint and reliance on a touchscreen are important practical compromises, but the overall specification is strong for a premium modular cooking setup.
