This hot plate allows optimal use of space for minimal energy consumption while cooking. Combining technical innovation with luxury design, it brings new sparkle to the kitchen unit with its black ceramic surface from Schott. In doing so, it combines 2 cooking zones into 1 Flexzone based on the VarioHeating principle. With maximum flexibility, it adjusts according to the size of the pots, pans or casserole dishes that are placed on it thanks to pan recognition, and it can also be used for heating large cookware. Therefore on the one hand, you only use the energy that's suitable for the pot and on the other hand, it's possible to use almost any size of pot or pan. All hobs can be regulated individually and feature a ThermoBoost function with which the power can quickly be increased to 3000W. The glass ceramic stove is simple to operate with an integrated touch-to-slide panel with digital display, so no other controls and buttons interfere with the kitchen surface. As well as the power, a timer up to 99 minutes can be programmed for every hob which either switches off the hot plate at the end of the set time or sounds an audible signal. So that everything runs smoothly during cooking, the built-in stove has various safety features. Overheat protection with automatic shut off becomes active if a hob becomes too hot. A residual heat display with the Eco Thermal Control system doesn't only inform whether switched off cooking surfaces are still hot. It also enables cooking with residual heat to save energy. A child lock can also be activated in order to prevent accidental changes to the cooking settings. Thus it blends effortlessly into any kitchen, be it classic or modern. The materials required for installation on the worktop are included in delivery.
