FAQs

What type of cookware is compatible?

Cookware must have a magnetic base. Look for the induction symbol (a coil) on the bottom. Stainless steel and cast iron are typically compatible.

How do I clean the hob?

Use a damp cloth to wipe up spills. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive hob cleaner. Always let the hob cool down first.

What is the boost function?

The boost function provides an extra burst of power for quick heating, ideal for boiling water or searing foods.

How does the child lock work?

The child lock prevents accidental activation of the hob. Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to activate and deactivate it.

What are the My Menu functions?

My Menu provides pre-set cooking functions for Melting, Boiling, Keep Warm, and Slow Cooking to simplify your cooking.

What is Flexi Duo?

Flexi Duo allows you to cook with two pans simultaneously or use a larger pan covering both cooking zones.

What do the residual heat indicators mean?

The residual heat indicators light up to show you which cooking zones are still hot after the hob is turned off, for safety.

Where can I find the user manual?

The user manual is included with the product and can often be found online on the Hotpoint website.

Troubleshooting

Hob not turning on.

Check the power supply and ensure the hob is correctly connected. Check the circuit breaker. Ensure the child lock is not activated.

Cookware not heating.

Ensure the cookware is induction-compatible. Make sure the cookware base is flat and in full contact with the cooking zone.

Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Clean spills immediately to prevent them from hardening.

My Menu functions not working.

Make sure you've selected the correct function and that the cookware is suitable for the function (e.g., sufficient liquid for boiling).
