Where to buy the Fisher & Paykel CI804ZZDTB5 hob
🏆 Review & price summary
The Fisher & Paykel CI804ZZDTB5 induction hob combines four cooking zones with two SmartZones, allowing adjacent zones to be linked for wide pans and griddles. Its Touch&Slide controls, nine heat settings, Gentle Heat, PowerBoost, Pause and Recall functions give it a strong specification for everyday and more demanding cooking.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Two SmartZones link adjacent cooking areas for wide pans and griddles
- ✓ 2, 100W output each, rising to 3, 000W with PowerBoost
- ✓ Precise everyday control
- ✓ Gentle Heat, Pause for up to 10 minutes and Recall add useful cooking flexibility
- ✓ Flat black glass surface with flush or raised installation options
- ✓ Pan detection, keylock and spillage auto-off
Worth considering
- The 800mm width and minimum 720mm cut-out make it unsuitable as a direct replacement for many standard 600mm hob openings
- Four zones rather than five, so the wider format adds working room and SmartZone flexibility rather than an extra cooking position
- The power cord is not included, and the 7.4kW installation requires advance electrical planning by a licensed electrician
- Induction-compatible cookware is required; unsuitable pans will not heat on the surface

Flexible four-zone cooking
The Fisher & Paykel induction hob provides four cooking zones, with two SmartZones that link adjacent zones and operate them as one larger cooking area. That is useful for griddles, large roasting pans and other wide cookware.
The 80cm layout gives more horizontal working space than a standard 60cm hob, although it still provides four zones rather than five.
Responsive controls and cooking performance
Touch&Slide controls provide direct adjustment across nine heat settings, while automatic cut-off timers for each zone and a separate minute timer add practical control during busy cooking sessions.
Each zone is rated at 2,100W and can reach 3,000W with PowerBoost. Gentle Heat supports low, consistent warmth for delicate tasks, while Pause can stop heating for up to 10 minutes and Recall restores settings after the hob is switched off.
Installation and cleaning
The flat black glass surface is designed for straightforward wiping, and the hob can be installed flush with the worktop or slightly raised. The manufacturer specifies an 800mm product width, 530mm depth and 54mm overall height.
This is a planned built-in installation rather than a simple replacement. The minimum cut-out is 720mm wide by 490mm deep, the cavity needs at least 65mm height, and adequate airflow must be provided below the hob.
Safety and ownership considerations
Keylock, pan detection, safety timeout, spillage auto-off and surface-hot indicators provide a comprehensive set of published safety functions. Only suitable cookware will heat on the induction surface.
The installation guide specifies a 7.4kW rated load at 220–240V and says the power cord is not included. Fisher & Paykel also states that installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician, so electrical planning should be completed before purchase.
