FAQs
What is a Flex Induction Zone?
A Flex Induction Zone allows you to combine two separate cooking zones into one larger zone, providing a continuous heating surface for larger pots, pans, or griddle plates.
Does this hob come with a plug?
No, this product requires hardwiring by a qualified electrician to a dedicated cooker circuit and does not come with a standard plug.
How do I know if my pans are suitable for induction?
Induction-compatible pans have a magnetic base. You can test this by holding a magnet to the bottom of the pan. If the magnet sticks firmly, the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
Can I use any type of pan on the Flex Zone?
Yes, as long as the pan has a magnetic base and is suitable for induction cooking. The Flex Zone accommodates larger pans that might not fit on a standard single zone.
How do I clean the hob surface?
Clean the cool glass surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and scraper.
What is the warranty period for this hob?
The MONTPELLIER MINH59FZ comes with a 2-year guarantee.
How does the pan detection feature work?
The hob automatically detects when a pan with a magnetic base is placed on a cooking zone and begins heating. If no pan is detected, or if the pan is removed, the zone will automatically switch off, saving energy.
Troubleshooting
Hob does not turn on
Check that the hob is correctly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the control panel is clean and dry.
Pan is not heating
Verify that the pan has a magnetic base and is centered on the cooking zone. Ensure the pan is the correct size for the zone being used. Check if pan detection is active.
Error code displayed
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings and recommended actions. Common codes may indicate a pan issue or a system fault.
