Smeg Universale SI2641D Induction hob

Digi touch controls - The red LEDs of the digi touch controls ensure the hob is simple and intuitive to use, guaranteeing the best technical performance. Fast operation - Induction allows for precise temperature control when doing intricate cooking, or simmering for example, Heat is only generated when the pan comes into direct contact of the specific cooking zone, ensuring safety in the presence of children. This helps optimise power consumption, only using the energy needed to heat the pan itself. Induction is faster than gas cooking taking only a little over a minute to boil a pint of water. Another benefit is that any splashes will not burn onto the hob top and are easily wiped clean making it safe and user friendly. Induction: The work of these hobs is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The heat is generated directly in the bottom of the pan during its contact with the hob. Power booster option allows the zone to work at full power when very intense cooking is necessary. Total no. of cook zones: 4 Power levels: 9 OPTIONS Timer: All ceramic hobs have a timer which automatically ends cooking after a preset time. Time elapsed: shows how long the cooking zone has been in use. ECO-logic: option allows you to restrict the power limit of the appliance real energy saving. Overheat protection: The safety system that automatically turns off the hob in case of overheating of the control unit. Indication of residual heat: After the glass ceramic hob is switched off the residual heat indicator shows which of the heating zones still remains hot. When the temperature drops below 60 ° C, the indicator goes out.
