FAQs

How do I clean the hob?
Use a damp cloth or a glass-ceramic cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
What does the child lock do?
The child lock prevents accidental operation of the hob, adding an extra layer of safety.

FlexiFull lets you combine cooking zones to create a larger cooking area, ideal for oversized cookware.
