Integrated extraction design
The defining feature is the central extraction tower, which rises between the cooking zones and is intended to capture steam and cooking vapour close to its source. Its adjustable flap and height are designed to help direct extraction towards the active cooking area.
When the extraction tower is not needed, it retracts between the hobs for a cleaner-looking surface. Qboost extraction is specified at up to 537m³/h, with four fan speeds available for different cooking tasks.
Cooking flexibility and controls
Four induction cooking zones provide the main cooking surface, while two manual bridge zones can support larger pans where the bridging function is appropriate. Zone timers add control for timed cooking tasks.
Residual heat indicators and a child lock provide useful safety information and protection. The available product information also specifies a black finish and a wide 87cm format for buyers planning a more spacious cooking area.
Installation considerations
This hob can be installed flush with the worktop or as a surface-mounted appliance, giving designers two presentation options. The integrated extraction system can be configured for duct-out or recirculation installation.
The choice of extraction method makes the appliance adaptable to different kitchen layouts, but buyers should confirm that their chosen installation arrangement and worktop design are suitable before purchase.
