Please note: this model has a Power Management Function. Some induction hobs can be plugged in at the wall, rather than needing an electrician to hard-wire it. If you choose to plug in, the Power Management Function will limit the power to each zone. For example, if you have a 13 amp connection, the heat levels across all four zones cannot add up to more than 12. So, if one zone is on level 8 and you turn another zone to level 7 (8+7=15), the first zone will automatically be reduced to level 5 (5+7=12).

Fancy a hob that reacts the second you turn up the heat? This Smeg induction hob has 4 zones and 9 power levels, with a booster on each zone for getting a wok properly screaming before the veg goes in. Heat is created in the pan rather than in the surface, so heat is only generated when the pan is in direct contact with the cooking zone. The 60cm frameless glass-ceramic top can sit ultra-low or fully flush with your worktop, and the front touch controls put every setting under one fingertip. Handy extras include a timer, a child lock, and a residual heat indicator. If you have it plugged into a standard socket, the Power Management Function shares the available heat levels between the zones for you. Made in Italy.
