Advantages
Motion control lets you adjust power and cooking time with hand gestures without touching the control panel, reducing fingerprints and simplifying operation. The high-definition TFT screen displays vivid images and guided recipes for intuitive use. AI-guided recipes from a professional chef provide step-by-step assistance while the Culinary Guide automatically selects optimal power, time, zone and utensil for selected foods. Amplify flexible zones permit up to ten pans of different sizes to be used simultaneously and support large rectangular cookware. Multiple preset power levels including Boost and four reprogrammable shortcuts cover common tasks like melting, warming, simmering and searing. Integrated AutoLink, Blanch and Boil functions, as well as dedicated modes such as Grill/Plancha and Clean Lock, increase convenience and control during cooking and maintenance.

How to use
Place compatible cookware on the selected cooking zone and select the zone using the control interface or motion gestures. Use the TFT screen to follow AI step-by-step recipes or choose a food type in the Culinary Guide to let the hob set recommended power and time automatically. For multi-pan cooking, use the Amplify/HoriZone areas to position pans of different sizes; the hob will detect zone changes and continue with the preset parameters. Use preset shortcuts or Boost for immediate high power, and set individual timers between 1 and 99 minutes for each zone. When finished, use Clean Lock to lock controls while wiping the surface; the lock deactivates automatically after one minute.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use magnetic-bottom induction-compatible cookware sized to the specified pan ranges; when using large or rectangular fish poachers position them centrally over the Amplify/HoriZone areas. Activate AutoLink with a compatible hood to enable automatic ventilation adjustment. Use the Blanch and Boil programs when precise boiling temperatures are required and set timers for unattended stages. Limit the hob's maximum power via Power Management if your electrical installation requires reduced load.
