Smeg SI1F7845B 78cm Induction Hob - Black

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.

The Flexi4zone on the left is divided into 4 sections and can be adjusted as required depending on your cooking needs. Three layouts can be achieved; two double zones, one triple zone and one single, or all 4 zones can be combined to create one large zone, so you can use multiple pans of various dimensions at the same time, providing greater flexibility.

The auto-vent function regulates hood extraction speed automatically depending on the temperature and power level selected on the hob. It is therefore no longer necessary to manually adjust the settings of the cooker hood, simply use the hob as required, and the cooker hood will automatically adjust its extraction speed to match the hob settings.
