FAQs

What type of cookware is needed for this induction hob?

This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. Common materials like cast iron and magnetic stainless steel are suitable. You can test your existing cookware by holding a magnet to its base; if it sticks, it should work.

How does the Link Mode Extraction feature work?

Link Mode Extraction automatically syncs with a compatible Fisher & Paykel cooker hood. When you start cooking, the hob signals the hood to activate and adjust its fan speed based on the cooking intensity, providing automated ventilation.

Can I use the SmartHQ™ app without Wi-Fi?

The SmartHQ™ app requires a Wi-Fi connection to communicate with your hob for features like guided setup, tips, and remote monitoring. For basic cooking functions, the app is not necessary.

How do I clean the black glass surface?

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner after the hob has cooled. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.

What is the benefit of PowerBoost and Gentle Heat Control?

PowerBoost provides an extra surge of intense heat for rapid boiling or searing, saving time. Gentle Heat Control offers precise, low-level warmth for tasks like simmering sauces or melting delicate ingredients without burning.

Is this hob safe for families with children?

Yes, this hob includes several safety features such as a keylock to prevent accidental activation, hot surface indicators, and an auto-off function if spills are detected or if cookware is removed for an extended period, contributing to a safer cooking environment.

How many cooking zones are available?

The Fisher & Paykel CI905CTB2 features five cooking zones, offering ample space and flexibility for various cooking needs.

Troubleshooting

Hob not turning on

Ensure the main power switch is on and check the circuit breaker. Verify that the hob is properly connected to the power supply. If the issue persists, contact a qualified technician.

Cookware not heating

Confirm that the cookware is induction-compatible (magnetic base). Ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone and is of an appropriate size for the zone. Remove any debris from the hob surface and the base of the cookware.

Error code displayed

Refer to the user manual for a specific breakdown of error codes. Common solutions may involve resetting the hob by turning off the power at the breaker for a few minutes, then restoring power. If the error code persists, consult the manual or contact customer support.

Link Mode not activating hood

Verify that both the hob and the cooker hood are powered on. Ensure the cooker hood is compatible with Link Mode and that the connection between the hob and hood is correctly established. Check the specific settings for Link Mode on both appliances.

Touch controls unresponsive

Ensure the hob surface is clean and dry. Check for any spills or debris obstructing the control panel. If controls remain unresponsive, try a power reset by turning off the power at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds and then turning it back on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure correct electrical connection and integration into your countertop. Follow the SmartHQ™ app's guided setup for initial configuration and to familiarize yourself with the hob's features. Ensure the hob is installed in a well-ventilated area as per manufacturer instructions.

Compatibility: This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base (e.g., cast iron, stainless steel with a magnetic layer). Check your existing cookware by holding a magnet to the base; if it sticks, it's likely compatible. For Link Mode Extraction, ensure you have a Fisher & Paykel or compatible cooker hood that supports this feature.

Care: After each use, allow the hob to cool completely. Clean the ceramic glass surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using abrasive sponges, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the surface. For tougher stains, apply a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and buff gently. The touch controls can be wiped clean with a damp cloth; ensure they are dry before use.
