How the even heat distribution works on NEFF hob?

FlexInduction Zones

NEFF's FlexInduction zones allow you to place pans anywhere within a defined area, and the hob automatically detects the size and shape of the cookware. The heat is distributed evenly across the entire cooking zone, making it ideal for cooking with multiple pans or larger cookware.In order to guarantee good thermal detection and heat distribution, we recommend positioning the cookware in the centre, as shown in the figures.

As a connected cooking zone

Recommended for cooking with just one item of cookware.

  • Position the cookware depending on the size:

As two separate cooking zones

Recommended for cooking with two items of cookware.

You can use the front and rear zone independently of one another, and set a separate power level for each zone.

Centre cooking zone

The cooking zone consists of three inductors that work as a single cooking zone. Positioning the cookware

Caution

Do not place cookware in the middle between the right and left zones. The cooking zones are not activated correctly and you do not achieve a good cooking result.

Recommended cookware material for even heat distribution

Materials Properties
Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich design that distributes the heat well. This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected easily.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled steel, cast iron or special induction cookware made of stainless steel. This cookware distributes the heat evenly, heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be detected.
Cookware bases that contain aluminium. These cookware bases reduce the ferromagnetic area, which means that less power is emitted to the cookware. This cookware may not be sufficiently detected or may not be detected at all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the base of the cookware, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat is not distributed evenly.
Cookware made from normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper or aluminium are not suitable for even heat distribution.

Notes

  • Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the cookware.
  • Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use cookware with a thin base, as this may become very hot.
