Flexible cooking layout
The 80cm format gives the four-zone layout plenty of working space. Two octagonal zones sit on the left, while two circular zones occupy the right, supporting different cookware shapes.
The automatic Flexzone and bridge function are the standout layout features. They allow adjoining areas to be linked for larger pots, pans or griddles, making the surface more adaptable than a fixed four-zone design.
Heating and controls
Each zone can reach up to 3000W using the Power function, which is useful when bringing larger quantities of water to the boil. Automatic pan recognition is designed to make zone use more straightforward.
The central red slider touch control provides access to individual timers, a count-up timer, automatic cooking, pause and Stop&Go. A 70°C keep-warm setting and child lock add practical everyday support.
Integrated kitchen features
Novy InTouch allows the hob to control a compatible Novy cooker hood from the cooking surface. This can reduce the need to reach for separate extraction controls during cooking.
The black glass finish and wide format give the appliance a deliberately modern appearance. The available product information does not provide installation dimensions, electrical requirements or warranty details, so these should be confirmed before purchase.
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.
