- It should fit without much effort in the old section of the countertop
- It should be self-sufficient (ie independent of a stove)
- It should be induction
- There should be greater than my old hob.
Shipping:
It was quite a to Act I of this hob heal at my house had. I had only ordered at Amazon, because the delivery time but was almost 2 months, I've ordered from another online retailer (nb) - it was delivered quickly, but when the house wearing the bulky package's I heard already the typical sound clanking of shards (After the package was undamaged I had it only once adopted). Unwrapped - Of course wars totally in the bucket. Habs on the same day sent back but complaints took two weeks to get my money got back. Then I go again ordered from another online retailer (psi) - again it arrived quickly, again wars broke, this time I kept the appointment upright and had then received a salvation hob finally after almost 2 months.
Although it is in a cardboard box with a lot of Styrofoam and also the carton is still wedged between two press boards as additional protection, but this is apparently not the hard shipping world still sufficient.
Installation:
The information about the neck are a little confusing, since almost every HÃ'ndler makes this cooktop other information. My old hob needed a cutout of 500 x 600 and this information I had at psi for the Gorenje IS 756 USC.
In fact, it only needs the standard cut of 560 x 490 (also available in the manual) so I mussŸte my neck with four matching strips ausfuettern.
By remarkable GroessŸe the hob but then covered everything, so no unsightly points remain visible. It is also already installed an adhesive seal in the end the hob connects securely to the worktop and also protects against moisture.
When electrical connection is either 220V or 380V provided - the heissŸt either a phase with a bridge to Second and neutral
with bridge to the second N_Kontakt or like me with two phases and a neutral conductor (with bridge to the second n_Kontakt)
Two matching Metallbruecken included.
The contact strip is unfortunately executed very cheap, there are only head screws available under the 2.5 mm² wire ends to be clamped. Even though I'm no electrician but professionally settled rather in the mechanics (but of course with sufficient el. Basic knowledge) to me this kind of installation was too insecure, so I found me still appropriate terminals for the wire ends that a secure connection between the screw head and ensure contact plate. Who the not trust or is not familiar with VDE standards and regulations the installation should rather left up to a professional - because short circuit can result from lack of installation - can ever destroy the device or even cause a fire and then the hundred is the one not worth saving.
Commissioning:
finally it was done and I could my three fuses "a" are the phases regardless disconnect with me on.
Then with your finger still on the Touchen "A Circle" and away you go. The service is super easy and self-explanatory.
It has on each side three characters for front, rear zone and the Brueckenmode with which one can both interconnect.
In the middle you can choose the strength in nine stages in which one simply pulls the sensor with the fingers from left to right.
I once on each zone a 24er Stoneline pan with sandwich bottom placed, and eingefaellt about 5mm of water.
After a short time stands out in the middle of the pan a boiling circle with a diameter of approximately 18 - 19mm from. Juhu everything is working properly.
Something ugly I think the fan noise and the quiet hum when the induction is active - a classic ceramic field works just absolutely silent.
But after a few days test cooking I want to box no longer against my old exchange, cooking succeed much more quickly and it can also groessŸerer pots are placed without the other zones are limited. Thanks to Power Booster and bridges function I could even in my huge 32er Stoneline baking pan pancake pan was ruckzuck golden brown heissŸ and pancakes gleichmaessŸig. (Pancakes seem to be the most difficult discipline for induction hobs, because here the pan MUSSY simply heissŸ enough to achieve a good result - here you can hear more often negative about induction hobs)
On the whole, I am excited about this hob and highly recommend it. I have it at a price of 590, - Euro
acquired and since you have been looking for that one finds comparable to this prize.
Ueœber durability I can not comment because I have only a couple of days in operation.
