Double Ring Zone: Provides flexibility by allowing you to activate either a smaller inner ring or both inner and outer rings, accommodating various pan sizes and offering increased power when needed.
Pause Function: Temporarily stops all cooking zones for up to 10 minutes, allowing you to attend to other tasks. When resumed, all previous settings are restored, ensuring your cooking continues uninterrupted.

The Hisense 60cm Ceramic Hob E6432C is designed to make your daily cooking effortless and efficient. Its Rapid Boil setting is a standout for tasks like quickly boiling water for pasta or blanching vegetables, taking the guesswork out of high-heat cooking by automatically stepping down the power.
The Double Ring Zone offers remarkable versatility. For example, you can use the smaller ring for a delicate sauce in a small saucepan or engage both rings to quickly bring a large stockpot of soup to a simmer. The four zones, ranging from 1.2 to 2.2 kW, ensure you have the right heat level for everything from gentle melting to powerful searing.
Should you need to step away from the kitchen momentarily, the Pause Function is incredibly handy. Simply activate it to briefly halt cooking without losing your settings, then resume when you return – perfect for answering the door or grabbing a forgotten ingredient.
Safety is paramount, and features like the Child Lock Function provide peace of mind by preventing little hands from accidentally altering settings. The Residual Heat Indicators are also crucial, showing a clear 'H' when a cooking zone is still hot, prompting caution and preventing accidental burns.
The Automatic Rapid Heating Function means you'll spend less time waiting for your hob to reach the desired temperature, and the Integrated Timer allows for precise cooking, automatically shutting off the zone and alerting you when your dish is perfectly done. Its front right touch controls are intuitive, providing immediate feedback for adjustments.
Professional Installation: Due to its electrical requirements, this ceramic hob must be installed by a qualified electrician or competent person. Ensure all local regulations and wiring codes are followed.
Cabinet Cutout: Prepare a precise cutout in your countertop according to the dimensions: H 54 x W 600 x D 510mm. Ensure adequate ventilation space around the hob as per the installation manual.
Electrical Connection: The hob requires a dedicated electrical circuit. Consult the wiring diagram provided in the user manual for correct connection details.
Cookware: Suitable for all flat-bottomed cookware materials (e.g., stainless steel, cast iron with a smooth base, ceramic, glass). Ensure pans have a smooth, flat base to ensure optimal contact and prevent scratching the hob surface.
Countertop: Designed for installation into standard kitchen countertops with the specified cutout dimensions. Ensure your countertop material is heat-resistant.
Daily Cleaning: After each use, once the hob has cooled down and the residual heat indicators are off, wipe the ceramic surface with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Stubborn Stains: For burned-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob scraper (plastic or metal, specifically designed for glass hobs) and a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner. Apply the cleaner to a cool hob, gently scrape, then wipe clean.
Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the ceramic surface.
Prevent Damage: Avoid dragging pots and pans across the hob surface. Lift cookware when moving it. Do not place hot lids directly on the cool hob surface, as condensation can cause marks. Immediately wipe up sugar spills as they can etch the surface if left to cool.
