Cooking performance and control
The four-zone induction layout covers common pan sizes, with two larger 21cm zones and two 15cm zones. Booster functionality is available across all four zones, which should be useful when bringing pans up to temperature quickly.
Nine power levels give the controls enough range for both gentle simmering and higher-heat cooking. The front-mounted touch controls and red LED displays are designed to keep adjustment straightforward.
Design, installation and cleaning
The black ceramic-glass finish and straight edge give the hob a minimalist appearance. The supplied information describes an ultra-low-profile installation and the option of fully flush fitting, subject to suitable kitchen installation requirements.
A smooth glass surface should be relatively simple to wipe down after cooking, and induction heating can reduce the amount of heat retained by the surface compared with traditional cooking methods.
Safety and everyday practicality
Automatic pan detection, automatic switch-off, overheating protection and a residual heat indicator provide a comprehensive set of everyday safeguards. The control lock and child-safety functions are particularly useful in family kitchens.
Four end-of-cooking timers, a minute minder and an acoustic alarm add flexibility when several pans are being managed at once.
