FAQs

Can I plug this hob into a standard wall outlet?

No, this model is hard-wired and requires a direct connection to the electrical mains by a professional.

What is the total connected load of this hob?

The total connected electric load is 2900 Watts.

Does the hob surface get hot?

How many power levels are available?

Is this hob compatible with induction cookware?

This is a ceramic hob, not an induction hob; it will work with most flat-bottomed metal cookware, but does not specifically require induction-ready magnetic pots.

Troubleshooting

The hob controls do not respond to touch.

Check if the child safety lock is enabled. Refer to your manual to deactivate the lock function.

The hob turns off unexpectedly during use.

This is likely the automatic safety feature triggered by an overflow or overheating; clear any spills on the control area and ensure proper ventilation.

Zones are not reaching maximum temperature.

Ensure the power supply is stable and that you are using flat-bottomed cookware appropriate for ceramic hobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This appliance is designed for built-in installation. Before purchasing, ensure your countertop cutout meets the required 270mm by 490mm dimensions. Because the unit is hard-wired and requires a 2900W load, installation must be performed by a certified electrician to meet safety standards.

For daily care, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring powders on the glass surface. Instead, use a soft cloth and a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner to maintain the finish and prevent scratches. Always ensure the hob is cool to the touch before attempting to clean stubborn stains.
