FAQs
What type of cookware can I use with this hob?
You must use cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or certain stainless steel pans. Pans made of aluminum, copper, or glass will not work unless they have a magnetic induction plate integrated into their base.
How do I clean the induction hob?
Wipe the cool surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn marks, use a cream cleaner specifically designed for ceramic or induction hobs, and a soft cloth. Always ensure the hob is completely dry before use.
Is induction cooking more energy-efficient?
Yes, induction hobs are generally more energy-efficient than other electric hobs because they heat the pan directly, minimizing heat loss to the surrounding air.
Can I use multiple pans at once?
Yes, the hob features four distinct cooking zones, allowing you to cook with multiple pans simultaneously, provided each pan is placed on its designated zone.
What is the warranty period for this Smeg hob?
Please refer to your purchase documentation or the Smeg website for specific warranty details, as warranty periods can vary by region and retailer.
How quickly does induction heat up?
Induction hobs heat up very rapidly, often boiling water in half the time compared to conventional electric hobs.
Troubleshooting
Hob not turning on
Ensure the power supply is connected and the circuit breaker is engaged. Check if the control panel is locked; if so, refer to the user manual for unlocking instructions.
Cookware not heating
Verify that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the cookware is centered on the correct zone and is not too small for the selected zone.
Error code displayed
Consult the user manual for a specific explanation of the error code. Common solutions involve checking for obstructions, ensuring proper ventilation, or resetting the power supply.
Surface scratched
Avoid sliding heavy or rough-bottomed cookware across the surface. Use appropriate cookware and clean with non-abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of induction hobs typically requires a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe connection to your home's power supply. Ensure the hob is fitted flush with your countertop for optimal performance and aesthetics.
Compatibility: This hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. To test if your existing pans are compatible, hold a magnet to the bottom; if it sticks, the pan is suitable for induction.
Care: After each use, allow the hob to cool down completely. Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the glass surface. For tougher stains, a specialized ceramic hob cleaner can be used. Ensure the hob is dry before the next use.
