With specialist technology and an elegant black glass finish, this Hotpoint gas hob scores highly on looks as well as functionality. It uses cast iron supports to keep your pans safe and stable, with a combination of fast, semi-fast and standard burners to accommodate all your cooking needs. There'll be no uneven heat distribution as the hob uses Direct Flame Technology, which ensures perfectly even heat across the entire surface of your pan. This clever feature works by utilising 420 tiny holes which direct the heat upwards to prevent energy loss around the pan. And of course, this saves you plenty of energy - 20% in fact. It also saves you 20% in cooking time, doubling up on the savings. Each area of the gas hob uses an automatic ignition switch and is fitted with a flame safety device. This ensures that when the flame goes out, the gas supply stops, allowing you to slumber with peace of mind. Features and Benefits Direct Flame - Specially designed with 420 micro holes to deliver a vertical flame, more heat hits the bottom of the pan to deliver a 20% improvement in energy and time efficiency. Cast iron pan supports - Sturdy and stable, these allow you to move the pan with confidence from burner to burner without the risk of moving the pan supports, for professional-style cooking.
