Features of NEFF hobs

Sometimes the purchase of a stove is impossible due to a lack of free space in the kitchen. In this case, people acquire hobs that are built into the headset. The products of each manufacturer have their own characteristics and nuances. The article will focus on NEFF hobs.

All household appliances are divided into groups not only by functional purpose, but also by belonging to a certain price category. NEFF hobs are among the elite models. These devices have already managed to gain high popularity in the Russian market. The reason is simple - the developers were able to achieve excellent quality and maximum functionality of technical devices.

NEFF products have been around for nearly a century and a half. About 1.5 million household appliances are produced every year. She has been familiar to Russian consumers since 2005. From the very beginning, the company has become famous for its intensive implementation of innovations. Suffice it to say that it was she who first released the microwave oven and hob with induction heaters.

Importantly, all the company's equipment is manufactured only in Western Europe. The main factories are located in Germany, Italy, France, Spain. The production technology is perfect. The range of the company includes hobs of all basic types. Let's consider them in more detail.

There are two methods for connecting appliances: some products are independent, while others are connected to ovens. Both options can be equipped with not only classic electric, but also gas or induction heating units. There are also combination devices with different types of heaters.

Glass-ceramic designs do not differ much from traditional electric stoves. The only difference is that there is a perfectly smooth surface on top. The burners in such a system can be in the form of a circle or an oval. They warm up very quickly. Induction hobs work differently: by creating heat with an electric current. In this case, the surface itself remains cold.

An inductive eddy current acts on the cookware on the hob to heat it up. But to use this technique, you will have to carefully choose pots and pans. Only containers with good magnetic properties are suitable. The dishes that were previously used on the gas stove should not be considered in this case. Vessels with a thin bottom will not work either.

Gas hobs almost always work with an automatic electric ignition. For work, you can use both main and cylinder gas. However, in the latter case, you will either have to choose compatible models (of a special sample), or use adapters. Some gas hobs are equipped with a special wok burner. Its convex small bottom allows for a number of interesting culinary effects. This solution will appeal mainly to connoisseurs of Asian cuisine or traditional dishes stylized under it.

If gas is supplied to the house, a device that runs on this fuel is usually chosen. But if you have to cook often and a lot, it is still recommended to give preference to the glass-ceramic model. The same advice can be given to people with little culinary experience.Electrical devices heat up less and almost eliminate the burning of even capricious foods.

This is an induction product from the FlexInduction series. These systems allow pots and pans to be placed in arbitrary locations. In any case, they will be heated as efficiently as possible. The extended heating zone helps to further increase the flexibility of the panel. It is perfect for any large pot or rooster.

A reliable magnetic TwistPad switch is provided. It is highlighted and, if necessary, removed. The glass-ceramic surface looks very simple, it is devoid of decor. But this is even a plus, because the engineers devoted their maximum efforts to the design of the technical part, and not to the external decoration.

The power of the panel is adjustable (there are 17 steps of adjustment). Automation detects the absence of dishes and eliminates harmful empty starts. One of the sensors allows you to fry food in 5 different modes.

The designers took care of the safety shutdown in critical situations. Effective child protection is provided. Users have access to the functions of quick start and restart of the device. There is another function for cleaning while cooking. The heating level reached is shown via the display.

This is a free-standing induction hob. Control scheme - TwistPad. The advantage of the product is the automatic setting of the most suitable power level. It provides both solid flexibility in work and faster heating of food. The width of 0.6 m allows the panel to be used even in a relatively small space. There is only 1 hotplate with a round expandable zone. But for most people who are not too keen on the art of cooking, this will be enough.

There are 2 timers - one turns off by itself, and the other notifies users of the end of work with a sound signal. Of course, as befits a top-end hob, the T46BT73N2 automatically recognizes that there is no cookware. The designers have provided protection from children.

Main characteristics:

• required connection power - 7.4 kW;
• the smallest thickness of the tabletop for installation is 0.02 m;
• 1.1 m cable included;
• painting of frames and upper part in stainless steel.

This is an example of a NEFF gas hob. The attractive side of the product is the FlameSelect option. This "smart" technology allows you to set one of 9 typical heating levels. The display is supplemented with a residual heat indicator.

Panel power - 5 kW. The design is equipped with updated handles that are not only comfortable but also beautiful. Cooking is carried out on elongated cast iron grates. The number of dishes prepared at the same time can be large, because there are 5 burners.

One of them works at maximum power, another one allows you to use a wok. Gas is ignited automatically. This not only makes the life of a cook more comfortable, but also increases safety. It should be noted that this hob is designed for a gas pressure of 20 mbar.

If you are interested in NEFF electric kitchen systems, you can pay attention to this model. This hob is cheaper than induction appliances. An efficient backlighting system is provided here, there is a flexible heating control. The system is designed in such a way as to minimize the risk of food burning. Installation is carried out independently of the oven.

It is very convenient to use NEFF hobs. However, this requires taking into account a number of nuances. All brand devices are intended only for cooking at home.If they are used for other purposes or under excessive load (in a restaurant, canteen), the warranty will be void. During operation, the panel must be monitored at all times.

Regardless of the type of heating elements, children must not be allowed to approach the device. The equipment must be carefully grounded during installation. If the glass-ceramic surface of the electric or induction hob is cracked, turn it off immediately and contact the service department. The same should be done if the product does not turn on at the user's command: an automatic failure means the danger of unauthorized start-up.

Every user should know how to lock and unlock the hob. Otherwise, the safety of children is not guaranteed. A temporary stop is made by touching a special element with your finger for 4 seconds. The symbol should light up, and after 10 seconds, go out. To release the lock, repeat the same manipulation.

It is recommended to clean the surface after each cooking. Do not clean the hot hob. Wait for the device to cool down. The composition of cleaning agents is selected individually for each type of coating. If something is burnt, you should remove the dirt with a special glass scraper.
