Flexible cooking capacity
With five induction zones, This Novy 1776 hob is designed for demanding cooking sessions where several pans need attention at once. Each zone is listed with a 2100W output and can reach up to 3700W using the Power function, which is useful for bringing larger quantities of water to the boil quickly.
Two automatic Flexzones link adjoining cooking areas for larger pots and pans. The dedicated Grill function uses the Bridge function to create a broader cooking surface for suitable cast-iron cookware, adding flexibility beyond standard circular zones.
Controls and cooking assistance
The centrally positioned white slider touch controls provide access to the hob’s main functions. Chef presets link the Bridge zones and assign levels for intensive cooking, simmering and keeping food warm, while Pot Move is intended to make transferring cookware between areas more straightforward.
Keep-warm settings of 42°C, 70°C and 94°C cover melting, gentle holding and warmer food maintenance. Stop & Go can temporarily pause energy delivery while retaining selected power levels and timer settings when operation resumes.
Timers and safety
The hob includes standard, individual-zone, count-up and automatic cooking timers, allowing timing to be handled in several ways depending on the dish. Automatic pan recognition is also listed to help the hob respond to suitable cookware.
A childproof lock, residual heat indication, main on/off switch and safety time switch-off provide useful safeguards. Novy InTouch adds the option of controlling a compatible Novy cooker hood directly from the hob.
