FAQs

What type of cookware do I need for this induction hob?

You need cookware with a magnetic base. Most cast iron, stainless steel, and some enamel cookware are compatible. You can test your existing cookware by holding a magnet to the base; if it sticks, it should work.

How do I activate and deactivate the Child Lock?

Typically, the child lock is activated by pressing and holding a specific button or combination of buttons for a few seconds. Refer to your user manual for the exact procedure for the HIC6422BSC model.

Can I combine two zones using the Bridge function?

Yes, the Bridge function allows you to combine two adjacent cooking zones into a single, larger zone, perfect for larger pans or griddles.

What is the purpose of the Residual Heat Indicators?

These indicators show which cooking zones are still hot after use, preventing accidental burns. They can also be used to keep food warm at a low temperature as the hob cools down.

How does the Stop & Go function work?

The Stop & Go function allows you to temporarily pause all active cooking zones simultaneously with one touch. When you're ready to resume cooking, another touch will restore all zones to their previous power settings.

How do I clean the hob surface?

Ensure the hob is cool. Wipe the glass-ceramic surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For tougher stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a non-abrasive pad. Avoid sharp objects and abrasive materials.

What is the warranty period for this hob?

The Hisense Hi4 HIC6422BSC comes with a 2-year warranty period.

Troubleshooting

Hob does not turn on.

Ensure the hob is properly connected to the power supply and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Check if the child lock is activated and deactivate it if necessary.

Cookware is not heating.

Verify that the cookware has a magnetic base and is induction-compatible. Ensure the cookware is centered on the cooking zone and that the correct zone is selected and activated.

Error code displayed on the control panel.

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 mains for a few minutes, or ensuring proper ventilation.

Reduced heating power.

Check if the 'Rapid Boil' function has timed out and returned to a normal setting. Ensure the cookware is the correct size for the zone and that there are no blockages or debris preventing optimal heat transfer.

Touch controls are unresponsive.

Ensure the control panel is clean and dry. Wipe away any moisture or food residue. If the issue persists, try resetting the hob by turning off the power at the mains.

Ensure your electrical supply can support a connected load of 7.2kW and meets the 32A current requirement. Refer to the installation compartment dimensions (Depth: 49-49.2 cm, Width: 56 cm, Height: 7 cm) for proper fitting. Always ensure the area is well-ventilated.

Compatibility:

This induction hob requires cookware with a magnetic base. Test your existing pans by seeing if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom. Pots and pans suitable for induction cooking include most stainless steel, cast iron, and enamel-coated cookware.

Care:

  • Daily Cleaning: After the hob has cooled, wipe the glass-ceramic surface with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for ceramic hobs.
  • Spills: Wipe up spills immediately after the hob has cooled to prevent them from baking on.
  • Avoid Scratches: Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or sharp objects on the surface. Ensure the base of your cookware is clean and free from debris before placing it on the hob.
  • Residual Heat Indicators: Always wait for these indicators to turn off before cleaning the surface.
