Scandomestic HOME HOI30P1FLEX Induction Hob with Flex Zones

An induction hob heats cookware directly by creating a magnetic field beneath the ceramic surface. The field induces electric currents in the base of the pan, turning it into the heat source. Because the hob itself stays cool, energy is not wasted heating the air or the glass, and the response to temperature changes is almost instant. This method gives precise control over power and eliminates open flames or red-hot elements, making it safer for busy kitchens. The HOI30P1FLEX offers two 18 cm cooking zones that can be combined into a single Flex zone spanning both positions. Place a small saucepan on one side or a large roasting tray across the whole area without changing settings. A touch-sensitive panel at the front edge lets you select the zone, adjust the power level, set the timer up to 99 minutes, and activate the child lock. When the timer expires, the hob switches off the chosen zone automatically. Operation begins by placing induction-compatible cookware on the zone. A single touch wakes the panel; further touches cycle through power levels or confirm the timer. The residual heat indicator glows until the surface is safe to touch, and the child lock prevents accidental adjustments once engaged. The hob is built as a single ceramic plate with a stainless-steel frame. Its footprint of 288 mm depth by 520 mm width fits standard worktop cut-outs, and the 4.4 kg weight allows one person to lift and install it. A 3.5 kW power draw requires a dedicated circuit on either 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase supply, common in professional kitchens. Cleaning is limited to wiping the smooth ceramic surface with a damp cloth once it has cooled. The touch controls have no crevices, and the stainless-steel trim resists fingerprints. The smooth ceramic surface of this induction hob wipes clean in seconds after each use without removing any parts. The HOI30P1FLEX is listed under compact induction hobs in the Scandomestic HOME catalogue.
