Hob Scandomestic HOME 33058010000HOI60F1FLEX

An induction hob transfers energy directly into the base of magnetic cookware, creating heat where it is needed without warming the surrounding air or surface. This method eliminates wasted energy and allows the hob to respond instantly to changes in temperature, giving the cook precise control over every stage of cooking. Because the heat is generated in the pan itself, the hob surface stays relatively cool, reducing the risk of burns and making spills easier to clean.

The HOI60F1FLEX offers three cooking zones, one of which is a Flex zone that merges into a single large area. This extended surface accommodates oversized pots, griddles or multiple smaller pans at once, adapting to the demands of a busy service. Each zone is controlled independently through a touch-sensitive slider that adjusts power in nine steps, allowing fine tuning for delicate simmering or rapid boiling. When more speed is needed, the Power Boost function temporarily raises the output for up to ten minutes, cutting the time to bring water to the boil or sear ingredients quickly.

Operation begins by placing a pan with a magnetic base on the chosen zone. The hob detects the cookware automatically and activates only the area beneath it, saving energy and preventing accidental activation. A timer can be set for any zone up to ninety-nine minutes; when the time expires, the zone switches off without further intervention. For safety, a child lock prevents unintended adjustments, and the hob deactivates the moment a pan is lifted, eliminating the risk of an unattended hot surface.

The hob is constructed from a single sheet of glass-ceramic that spans the entire cooking area, providing a seamless worktop that is easy to wipe down after use. Beneath the surface, induction coils generate the electromagnetic field that heats the pan. The unit measures 590 mm wide, 520 mm deep and 62 mm high, fitting into a standard worktop cut-out. It weighs 8 kg, allowing one person to handle installation or repositioning. The electrical supply requires either a single-phase 230 V or three-phase 400 V circuit at 50 Hz, matching the standard wiring found in most professional kitchens.

Cleaning involves wiping the glass-ceramic surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent once it has cooled. Because the hob itself does not become hot, spills rarely burn on, and there are no grates or burners to disassemble. The touch controls are flush with the surface, leaving no crevices where food or liquid can collect.

The HOI60F1FLEX is categorised under induction hobs in the Scandomestic HOME professional range.
