It is a duct out model with an A+ energy rating and a noise rating of 68dB(A). The hob offers two FlexZones that can be combined into a single zone for larger pans. It has an ultra-low profile with a height of 1mm when installed or can be flush mounted. The hob provides an A+ Energy Efficiency Rating for low energy consumption. It comes with all necessary recirculating and extraction pieces and is ready to install in a 70cm cabinet, including a filter kit, regenerable charcoal filter, and an 8cm high stainless steel grid. The one-compact slider offers easy control of both the hob and the hood. The Eco-logic advanced power management function allows you to limit the total energy used per zone. Smeg's MultiZone heating zone can be used as two independent cooking zones or combined into a single zone, with each zone automatically adapting to the size and position of the dishes and being heated only where the pans are located, providing better heat distribution. Induction allows for precise temperature control for intricate cooking or simmering, with heat generated only when the pan comes into direct contact with the cooking zone, ensuring safety and optimizing power consumption. Induction is faster than gas cooking, taking just over a minute to boil a pint of water. Splashes do not burn onto the hob top and are easily wiped clean, making it safe and user-friendly. Smeg's innovative Auto-Vent system connects the hob to the hood and automatically controls the extraction fan speed to suit the cooking temperature and power settings on the hob.
