Top features:- Clever cooking utilising electromagnetic energy- Safety first with hot hob indicators and child safety lockClever cooking Making hob-top cooking quick, simple and safe, induction hobs are up to twice as efficient as gas hobs and boast the benefit of being fast and remarkably responsive - thanks to clever engineering you have access to almost instantaneous heat on demand. Utilising electromagnetic energy, induction hobs work by heating the pans directly - not the hob. Energy efficient and safe, this SEH600iR Induction Hob lets you enjoy fast and effective cooking and is easily controlled via four dials conveniently located at the right hand side of the hob.Safety first Due to the unique way that heat is transferred there is usually very little residual heat left on the hob after cooking, which makes induction surfaces considerably safer than conventional cooking tops. However, if the surface does heat up due to prolonged contact with a heated pan, a hot hob indicator will alert you, helping to reduce the risk of any accidents. Other safety features on this ST SEH600iR include a child safety lock, pan-overheat detection and a safety shutdown meaning you can work in and around the kitchen with complete peace of mind.
