Suitable for

• Everyday home cooking for families or couples
• Small to medium kitchens requiring a 60 cm built-in hob
• Users who prefer fast heating and precise temperature control
• Kitchens where easy cleaning and a modern look are desired

When it may not be suitable

This hob requires a compatible induction-capable cookware set; it will not heat non-magnetic pans. Installation requires an appropriate built-in cutout and electrical connection capable of supporting a 6.9 kW connected load. It may not be the best choice where low-power domestic circuits or purely portable cooking solutions are needed.

• Verify the required built-in cutout dimensions for a 60 cm hob.

Recommendations

Use flat-based magnetic pans for best energy transfer, keep the glass surface clean and dry to maintain touch control responsiveness, and allow zones to cool until residual heat indicators show they are safe before cleaning or storage.
