The special feature of this free-standing induction hob is an innovative method for flexible regulation of the magnetic field strength of the plate. As opposed to hobs with slide regulators, the heat level of the cooking zone can be finely adjusted via a centrally located, retractable rotary control. The operating panel on the black crystal glass becomes visible only when the control is operated. It then lights up in red, as does the control, imparting on the cooking zone a highly technical look.
