FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible with this hob?
Only induction-compatible cookware is suitable. Look for cookware made of cast iron or stainless steel with a magnetic base. You can test compatibility with a magnet: if it 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 sponge after each use. For tougher stains, use a hob-specific cleaner. The CleanProtect technology makes cleaning easier, often requiring just water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the FlexiCook zone?
The FlexiCook zone allows you to combine multiple cooking zones into one large zone. This is ideal for using larger pots and pans, such as griddles or roasting pans.
What is the purpose of the Keep Warm function?
The Keep Warm function keeps cooked food warm without overcooking it, so it's ready to serve when you are.
What should I do if the hob displays an error code?
Consult the user manual for a list of error codes and troubleshooting steps. If the issue persists, contact Whirlpool customer support or a qualified technician.
How do I use the Chef Control feature?
The Chef Control feature divides the cooking surface into different temperature zones. Simply move your cookware between these zones to adjust the heat level without changing the hob settings.
Does the hob have a child lock?
Yes, the hob is equipped with a child lock to prevent accidental operation. Refer to the user manual for instructions on activating and deactivating the child lock.
Troubleshooting
Hob not turning on.
Check the power supply. Ensure the hob is correctly plugged in, and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.
Cookware not heating.
Verify that your cookware is induction-compatible by checking if a magnet sticks to the bottom. Ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone.
Slow heating or inconsistent performance.
Make sure the cookware base is flat and making good contact with the hob surface. Clean the hob surface regularly to remove debris that could interfere with heating.
Touch controls not responding.
Ensure your fingers are dry when using the touch controls. Clean the control panel, as moisture or spills can interfere with functionality. If the issue continues, consult the user manual for troubleshooting steps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Compatibility: Only use cookware with a flat base and that is induction-compatible (e.g., cast iron, stainless steel with a magnetic base). Test with a magnet.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the surface with a damp cloth or sponge. For tougher stains, use a hob-specific cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners and steel wool. The CleanProtect surface makes cleaning easier. Always allow the hob to cool down before cleaning.
- Care: Avoid dragging cookware across the surface to prevent scratches. Clean spills immediately to prevent burning on the surface. Regularly inspect and clean the air vents to maintain performance.
