FAQs
What type of cookware is compatible?
Use cookware with a flat base and that is induction-compatible. Test by seeing if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan. Stainless steel and cast iron are generally suitable.
How do I clean the hob surface?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes. For stubborn stains, use a hob cleaner specifically designed for induction cooktops.
What is the bridge function?
The bridge function links two cooking zones to create one larger zone, useful for large pans and griddles.
What is PowerBoost used for?
PowerBoost provides a quick and intense heat-up, ideal for boiling water or searing meat.
What is GentleHeat used for?
GentleHeat provides low and consistent heat, perfect for melting chocolate or simmering sauces without burning.
Is the hob safe for children?
Yes, the hob features a child lock to prevent accidental operation. The surface also remains cool around the cookware, minimizing the risk of burns.
What is SmartZone?
SmartZone links two cooking zones and controls them as one, giving you the flexibility to use large pans and griddles and easily handle bigger food items.
What should I do if the hob is not working?
Check the power supply and connections. Refer to the troubleshooting section or contact Fisher & Paykel customer support for assistance.
