FAQs
Does this hob require a specific type of pot?

How do I clean the ceramic glass?
Wait for the residual heat indicators to turn off, then use a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner.
Is this model suitable for a small kitchen?
Yes, its 60 cm width is standard for most kitchen cabinetry, making it an excellent choice for compact spaces.
What happens if a pot boils over?
The hob is easy to wipe clean immediately; for safety, the unit may auto-shutoff if the spill reaches the control panel.
Can I use all three zones at once?
Yes, you can operate all three zones simultaneously, though total power draw is managed by the unit's internal smart software.
Troubleshooting
Hob fails to detect cookware
Ensure the cookware is made of a magnetic material and is centered correctly on the designated heating zone.
Control panel unresponsive
Check if the child lock is activated. Deactivate it by holding the lock symbol for three seconds.
Cooking zone cuts out during use
This may be due to the automatic overheating protection. Allow the hob to cool down before resuming operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this 7200 W unit requires a professional electrician to ensure it is correctly hardwired to your home's power supply. Before installation, confirm that your kitchen countertop can accommodate a standard 60 cm wide cutout. Regarding compatibility, ensure all your current cookware is induction-ready; you can verify this by placing a magnet on the bottom of the pan—if it sticks, it will work. For maintenance, avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool. Instead, use a ceramic hob scraper to remove stubborn spills and a specialized glass cleaner to maintain the black finish without leaving streaks.
