FAQs

What type of cookware is compatible?

You need induction-compatible cookware, which usually has a flat bottom and is made of ferrous metals (stainless steel, cast iron) or has a magnetic base. Test with a magnet: if the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, it's induction-ready.

How do I clean the hob?

Wipe the hob surface with a damp cloth or a ceramic hob cleaner after each use. For stubborn stains, use a scraper designed for ceramic hobs.

What is the boost function?

The boost function delivers a burst of high heat to a specific cooking zone, ideal for quickly boiling water or searing foods.

What is MultiZone?

MultiZone allows you to combine two cooking zones into a single larger zone. This is ideal for using griddles or large pans that span multiple burners.

How does Auto-Vent 2.0 work?

Auto-Vent 2.0 connects your hob to a compatible range hood. The hood's fan speed automatically adjusts based on the hob's power settings.

What safety features does the hob have?

It includes a child lock, residual heat indicators, and overflow protection.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual should be included with the product. You can often also find it on the Smeg website.

What is the warranty period?

Please check the warranty information provided with your product or on Smeg's website for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Hob won't turn on.

Check the power supply and ensure the hob is correctly connected. Check that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

Cookware not recognized.

Ensure your cookware is induction-compatible. Test with a magnet to see if it sticks to the base.

Touch controls not responding.

Ensure your fingers are dry when operating the touch controls. Clean the control panel, as grease or moisture can interfere with the sensors.

Hob is making unusual noises.

Some noises are normal for induction hobs. However, excessive buzzing or clicking may indicate a problem. Refer to the user manual for troubleshooting or contact Smeg customer support.

Auto-Vent 2.0 not working.

Verify that your range hood is compatible with Auto-Vent 2.0. Check the hob and hood settings, and ensure they are properly connected via Bluetooth. Consult the hood's manual for specific pairing instructions.
