Looks great and delivers!
I recently purchased this gas hob. It looks fantastic and is very easy to clean and use. The design of the pot holders is excellent, very sturdy with no hidden spaces where food can lodge.Great temperature control and cooking rsults
This new hob is our families first introduction to induction hobs after previously using gas cookers and more recently a ceramic hob. We have been really impressed with this over our old ceramic hob. Temperature control is much mre precise and the speed with which you can go from hot to warm means that cooking results are more akin to our old gas cooker really impressedThe product is fantastic
The installation was very easy, and it works pretty well.so far so good
Just bought this. All seems OK but when you press any button it beeps very loudly. There seems no way to turn this downBest 60cm induction in the market

Download the Home Connect app and register an account.

You can connect your appliance with Home Connect to your Wi-Fi by scanning the provided QR code. You'll find it on the enclosed Quick Start Guide. If you don't have this document, just press ‘I don’t have a printed guide’, and enter your E-number. Or use the Connection Guide on the Home Connect website to find the QR code for your appliance.
Ensure your mobile device is on the same Wi-Fi network that you are connecting your Home Connect appliance to. In the case of a hood and hob make sure they are both paired to your Home Connect account. If your router has a separated dual band network, ensure the names for the two networks are different. If you use Wi-Fi extenders make sure the extender has a different name to the router and that you are pairing to the extender.
If incorrect credentials are sent to your Home Connect appliance by the Home Connect app it won't be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Try forgetting the network on your device and re-connecting to make sure you have the correct password.

Since the appliance does not have an internet connection the mobile device will switch to another network that does, interrupting the pairing process. To prevent this from happening turn on Airplane/Flight mode, then go to your Wi-Fi settings and turn Wi-Fi back on, make sure you are connected to your router Wi-Fi network.
Check whether you can get online with another device in your home. Make sure you are not using mobile data to test your Internet connection. Ensure there is a strong network connection where the appliance is installed.
