Compact induction cooking
This Novy 3784 hob is designed around a compact 38cm domino format, making it a practical choice where a full-width hob would take up too much worktop. It provides two induction zones: a 175mm front zone with up to 1400W available and a 210mm rear zone capable of up to 3000W.
The two-zone layout is best suited to straightforward everyday cooking rather than large multi-pan meal preparation. Automatic pan recognition supports convenient use with suitable cookware, while the different zone sizes provide flexibility for smaller and larger pans.
Controls and safety
Central touch controls and a red information display give the hob a clean, uncluttered interface. A timer and individual timer control for each zone can help coordinate separate cooking tasks without relying on external reminders.
Residual heat indication, a childproof lock and safety time-switch-off add reassurance during and after cooking. The stated Wipeguard function is also intended to help when cleaning around the controls, although the available product information does not provide further operating detail.
Installation and design
The glossy black glass surface, rounded edge and 4mm glass thickness give the hob a streamlined appearance. It can be installed either as a surface-mounted hob or flush with the worktop, offering useful flexibility for modular kitchen designs.
Before installation, the stated 350mm by 490mm cut-out and the product dimensions should be checked against the intended worktop and cabinetry. At 5.94kg, the unit is relatively manageable for fitting, subject to the installation requirements of the kitchen.
