Bad points

Bad Points

  • Controls can be confusing when dividing the cooking zones or using as a flexi zone.
  • Power levels are numbers 0 – 9. Need to touch or slide finger along graded power selector. Only OK for large fingers. No number settings 1 – 9 are labelled.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring, need to keep pan within the cooking zone.
  • Noticeably noisy cooling fan turns on when cooking zone is used and turns off approximately 1 minute after cooktop is turned off.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
  • Does not allow flexi zone to heat on boost.
  • Accommodates only 4 of 5 cooking zones at the same time.
  • Flexi zone may not have even heat distribution.
