The generosity of the energy-efficient induction hob is emphasised by the discreet graphical decor and bevelled edges of the ceramic glass hob. Flush metal trims on the sides and, for the first time ever, under the front of the hob, guarantee optimum edge protection and ease of cleaning. The newly developed intuitive DirectSelect-TouchControl-Interface permits direct selection of the individual heat and intermediate settings at the turn of a hand using a linear-style numerical keypad. Processes are visually displayed by a functional light design in the shape of an illuminated display bar.
