FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible with the induction zones?
You must use cookware that is induction-compatible. This means that a magnet will stick to the bottom of your pots and pans. Typically, this includes steel and cast iron cookware.
How do I clean the ceramic glass surface?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a ceramic hob cleaner, and avoid abrasive cleaners.
What safety features does the hob have?
The hob includes a child lock, auto power off, and a residual heat indicator.
Can I use the gas burners if there is a power outage?
Yes, but you may need to manually light the gas burners if the electronic ignition is not working due to the power outage.
What is the MultiZone feature?
The MultiZone feature allows you to combine two independent cooking zones into a single larger cooking area, perfect for large pots or griddles.
Where are the controls located?
The control position is top front. The gas burners are controlled by rotary dials, while the induction zones are controlled by touch controls.
