Ceramic Hobs

Ceramic elements heat the glass, which then heats the pan. Induction heats compatible magnetic pans directly and usually responds faster.

Most flat-bottomed cookware will work. Smooth, level bases give better contact with the glass and reduce the risk of instability.

Many need a suitable dedicated circuit because of their electrical load. Check the model rating and have the supply confirmed before fitting.

Only if the exact aperture, worktop thickness, depth and clearances match. Nominal hob width does not guarantee the same cut-out size.

Let it cool, then use products and tools approved by the manufacturer. Avoid abrasive pads and lift pans rather than dragging them across the glass.
