This induction hotplate combines directly with a DownAir extractor hood to remove kitchen steam and odours as soon as they arise. The system uses state-of-the-art technology such as VarioHeating for flex zone operation, a SenseControl touch panel and the high-performance ThermoBoost, combining them in the PureAmbience design with a sophisticated black glass surface. This induction hot plate has four cooking surfaces to meet all your cooking needs. There are two cooking surfaces on each side of the suction opening of the DownAir hood and, thanks to the VarioHeating system, these provide plenty of space for large pots and pans. Each hob can be set in nine levels and has a ThermoBoost function to increase power for a lightning-fast boil. Pot detection, stop-and-go function with ThermalRecall, residual heat detection, child safety and keep-warm functions round off this practical hot plate. At the heart of your new kitchen is the DownAir system, almost invisible under a black stainless steel cover, featuring an extractor mode to remove steam and odours. Unlike conventional hoods, it never blocks your field of vision, because it is part of the hob and sucks steam and odours downstream. This makes it perfect for typical kitchens with a central cooking island where you can cook with friends and family. With the 270m³/hr. AeroEfficiency system, it is particularly effective and economical with energy efficiency class A +. As with the well-known DownDraft hoods, the motor and the exhaust hose are also hidden under the worktop. To top off the system, the steam extractor and cooking surface are controlled together via a SenseControl touch control panel. The Touch-to-Slide operation makes it easy to adjust the hob and extractor power using a finger swipe. Following the PureAmbience principle, all controls are integrated directly into the black glass surface so that no buttons interrupt the flawless appearance.
