Working Principle:
Electric current passes through nichrome or copper heating elements beneath the glass-ceramic surface, generating infrared heat. Heat transfers directly to the cookware base via conduction and radiation. The glass-ceramic remains relatively cool except where the pan sits. Touch slider controls modulate power delivery by adjusting the duty cycle of the heating elements.
Key Advantages:
- Schott Ceran surface — industry-leading durability and heat resistance
- Touch slider controls — precise, intuitive power adjustment
- 4 flexible zones — cook multiple dishes simultaneously
- Residual heat indicators — prevents accidental burns
- Child lock + auto-off — maximum safety
- Booster zone — rapid boil for large pots
- Flat surface — extremely easy to wipe clean
Applicable Industries / Use Cases:
Residential kitchens, rental properties, show kitchens, small commercial kitchens
Installation Requirements:
- Must be installed in a 560 x 490mm cut-out in countertop
- Requires hardwired connection by a licensed electrician
- 32A-40A circuit required (depending on wiring configuration: single-phase or 3-phase)
- 4mm² copper cable minimum for single-phase; 2.5mm² per phase for 3-phase
- Hob must be secured with clamping brackets to countertop underside
- Ensure countertop material can withstand heat (no laminate directly under hob)
Usage Precautions:
- Always use flat-bottomed cookware matching zone size
- Do not slide pans across the glass surface — lift and place
- Do not use as a cutting board or storage surface
- Clean with ceramic hob scraper and cleaner — no steel wool
- Allow surface to cool before cleaning
