HOB AEG HKP87420FB INDUCTION 78 CM

MaxiSense®Pure induction cooktop HKP87420FB
Thanks to the flexible area, it is possible to make the most of the space by placing larger pots and pans.
All with an elegant match and perfectly flat aesthetic. Induction technology

on the AEG hob
is the fastest, safest and most efficient way to cook with a hotplate: the pan heats up directly without the need for preheating.
Some coils generate a magnetic field that adapts to the size and shape of the pan, heating only the bottom of it, while the surrounding areas remain cool.
Up to 90% of the energy used is devoted to heating the pan.

What cookware to use?
Pots with a minimum diameter of 12 cm and a bottom made of ferrous material, such as ordinary steel, enameled steel or cast iron cookware, can be used with an induction hob.
There are also 1- and 3-cup induction coffee cans on the market, as well as non-stick cookware suitable for our induction hobs. You can drag a magnet over the pot to make sure it's compatible: if it sticks to the bottom of the pot, it's compatible.
All AEG induction stoves are equipped with sensors that immediately notify you of the use of non-compatible materials.

Accuracy and flexibility
Thanks to the adjustable power, you can carry out all the most delicate cooking, such as melting chocolate, without the risk of it burning or sticking, or choose the maximum power for grilling, frying or boiling in a short time.

Ease of cleaning
The surface of the counter is smooth, without any obstacles, making it easy to clean. In addition, unlike glass-ceramic electric stoves, due to the low temperature that glass-ceramic reaches during operation, even if a liquid accidentally comes out of the pot, there is no risk of it burning or crystallizing.

Automatic closing
If after a certain time, calculated on the basis of a certain power level, the cooking zone is not switched off or the cooking level is not changed, the zone will switch off automatically.

Cooking speed
Since heat is not lost, cooking times are greatly reduced.
It takes just over 3 minutes to boil 1 liter of water, compared to over 7 minutes for electric glass-ceramic stoves and almost 5 minutes for gas stoves.

Total security
The cooking zone is only activated when in contact with the pot, preventing accidental ignition during cleaning or by children. In addition, because the heat is generated only at the bottom of the pot, the surface of the stove remains cool, without the risk of possible burns.
Glass-ceramic stoves are equipped with a number of specially designed devices to ensure maximum safety of use.

Residual heat indicators
Induction cooktops are equipped with indicator lights that show the level of residual heat. Induction cooking zones generate the heat needed for cooking directly at the bottom of the pan.
The glass-ceramic cooktop can therefore heat up slightly by conduction from the residual heat of the pan.

MaxiSense® induction hobs
MaxiSense® hobs combine the advantages of traditional induction hobs with maximum flexibility of use.
On a normal induction cooktop, each cooking zone is designed to accommodate cookware of a specific diameter. On the other hand, on the new MaxiSense® cooktops, cookware of different sizes can be used without distinction in all cooking zones.

MaxiSense® Pure
An elegant black slab, perfectly flat, with a minimal design that lights up with just a gentle touch on the touchscreen.
Ideal to be included in the most modern and technological kitchens.

Maximum elegance
At first glance, the hob looks like a shiny black surface with no markings. As soon as you switch on the hob, it lights up, indicating the cooking zones.
Perfect and sophisticated.

PowerSlide
Creates three cooking zones: high heat, medium heat and to maintain temperature. Simply move the pot from one zone to another to quickly switch from fast to slow simmer.

Bridge function
A function that allows the use of larger, rectangular or oval-shaped pans, such as fish bowls, by placing them vertically between the 2 cooking zones.

DirectTouch controls
The new DirekTouch controls allow instant setting of the desired power for each individual cooking zone. A simple tap on the bar is all it takes to adjust the power in 14 levels.
The selected value can also be changed by sliding your finger along the line from right to left or vice versa. The selected power level is always displayed on the digital display.

OptiFixTM
The new glass-ceramic cooktops have an easy installation system, OptiFixTM - a system that makes it quick and easy to assemble the cooktop. Thanks to the self-centering clamps, simply place the cooktop over the hole for a perfect fit.

Automax function
It is a special automatic pre-heating device that activates the cooking zone at the maximum power value and then automatically returns to the set value without the need for intervention.
In this way, a reduction in heating time is achieved.

Stop+Go function
Thanks to this function, all cooking zones are automatically brought to the "keep warm" level until the function is switched off. It is especially useful for a short interruption of cooking, for example, to answer a phone call.

Power Function
Present in all induction models, it offers additional power beyond the maximum achievable for a time of 5 or 10 minutes depending on the size of the cooking zone, further speeding up the cooking time. For example, a liter of water can boil in almost 2 minutes.

CountUp Timer - Elapsed cooking time indicator
Shows the time elapsed since the cooking zone was activated. Ideal when you start cooking and don't want to set the cooking time because it lets you check how long you've been cooking anyway.

End of cooking scheduler
Allows the cooking time to be programmed from 0 to 99 minutes for each cooking zone. After the set time has passed, the stove turns off automatically after an acoustic signal.

Eco Timer
This function makes it possible to reduce energy consumption. In fact, when the end-of-cook timer is set, the zone automatically switches off before the end of the cooking itself to make the most of the residual heat. The reduction in cooking time depends on the power selected and the cooking time set.
