Induction cooktop CASTA LQ/CUI4HBA

An induction hob heats only the pan, not the air around it. A coil beneath the glass ceramic surface generates a magnetic field that induces currents in the base of a ferrous pan. These currents create heat directly in the pan, so the cooking zone stays cool until a pan is placed on it. The method eliminates wasted energy, speeds response and keeps the kitchen cooler than gas or radiant electric hobs. The LADYQ 900 has four independent cooking zones, each controlled by its own digital display. The operator selects a power level on the potentiometer; the display confirms the setting and the zone activates only when a suitable pan is detected. No pre-heating is needed, and the zone switches off automatically when the pan is removed, cutting energy use further. The hob is built as a complete worktop unit with a neutral cabinet beneath. The entire structure is AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning. The cooking surface is a single sheet of Pyroceram glass ceramic, a material developed for continuous professional use. It withstands thermal shock, resists scratches and does not discolour under high heat. Controls are grouped on the front panel. Each zone has a rotary potentiometer for power adjustment and an LED display that shows the selected level. The knobs and handles are made of a heat-resistant polymer that remains cool to the touch, allowing safe adjustment even when the hob is in use. The unit measures 800 mm front to back, 900 mm side to side and 850 mm high. It requires a 400 V three-phase supply with neutral, drawing up to 5.0 kW per zone. The footprint fits standard worktop depths and modular kitchen runs, while the height allows comfortable standing use. The Scotch Brite stainless steel finish wipes clean with a damp cloth after each service, leaving no streaks or residue from high-temperature oils or acidic sauces. The Pyroceram surface can be wiped with a damp cloth once cool; no abrasive cleaners are needed. The stainless steel cabinet is non-porous and resists staining, so spills can be cleaned with a mild detergent. The legs are designed for bench-top or modular installation, so the space beneath can be accessed for cleaning or storage. The LADYQ 900 is supplied as a single unit with the induction hob and neutral cabinet integrated.
