Auto-Vent 2.0
Smart Bluetooth technology has been used to connect hobs and hoods with Auto-vent so that they work seamlessly together. Once cooking begins, the fan speed of the hood automatically adjusts according to the temperature and power selected on the hob. The hood will continue to automatically regulate the fan speed as required, depending on the cooking activities. A selection of induction hobs in the Smeg range work with Auto-vent 2.0 hoods.
Fast operation
Induction allows for precise temperature control when doing intricate cooking, or simmering for example. Heat is only generated when the pan comes into direct contact of the specific cooking zone, ensuring safety in the presence of children. This helps optimise power consumption, only using the energy needed to heat the pan itself.
Induction is faster than gas cooking taking only a little over a minute to boil a pint of water. Another benefit is that any splashes will not burn onto the hob top and are easily wiped clean making it safe and user friendly.
