FAQ
What kind of design is recommended? Should I choose a framed cooktop or one that is flush with the worktop? <paragraph>This is primarily an aesthetic question, but also depends on the kind of worktop you have. Flush cooktops are mainly installed with stone worktops. However, make sure that the cooktop can be accessed from underneath the worktop.</paragraph>How does induction conserve energy? <paragraph>Induction is the technology of the future: it is faster and more energy-efficient. One litre of water is brought to the boil in approximately two minutes. This is made possible by smart technology. Induction generates heat exactly where it is needed in the base of the pot. The glass around the heated cooking zone stays virtually cold, so no energy is wasted. An induction stove uses up to 40% less energy compared to other heating methods.</paragraph>Induction cooktops offer pan detection. How does this work? <paragraph>Have you ever turned your stove on by accident or forgotten to turn off the heat? Now this not a problem any more. Pan detection ensures that the stove generates heat only when a pan is placed on the cooktop. A timer-controlled safety shut-off monitors each cooking zone and turns it off after a certain period. And if you have some aspiring junior chefs in your family, use the childproof lock to prevent accidents.</paragraph>Induction cooktops offer a PowerPlus function. What is it for? <paragraph>The PowerPlus function offered by almost all induction cooktops helps you save time. If, for example, you need to heat up a large quantity of water, you can have a cooking zone work at an increased power level of up to 140%. PowerPlus puts up to 3700 watts at your disposal.</paragraph>The cooking zones are operated by innovative slider controls. How do they work? <paragraph>This slider concept makes cooking even more fun: adjust the heat levels by sliding your finger over the controls.</paragraph>What exactly is a Teppan Yaki designed for? <paragraph>Professional caterers have been raving about it, and you can have it in your own kitchen: a Teppan Yaki. Why is this Japanese method of cooking on a flat grilling surface so popular? Because you don’t need any pots and pans, it’s entertaining for your guests to watch, and you don’t have to worry about choosing the right cooking temperature and time. The cooking temperature, for example, can be set precisely according to the kind of food youre preparing, and it stay at a constant level, no matter how many delicacies you pile onto the griddle. This ensures heat sensitive food is cooked particularly gently so that its taste, quality and nutrients are perfectly preserved. A Teppan Yaki will turn your dinner parties into an unforgettable experience.</paragraph>What different kinds of cooktops are available? <paragraph>There are radiant cooktops, which are controlled via a stove or switch box (formerly Quicklight). By contrast, autarkic radiant cooktops (formerly Toptronic) and induction cooktops feature controls situated directly on the glass surface. The space saved in this way can be used by fitting an additional 1/6th drawer. Cooking by forced induction is the ultimate for the chef’s home kitchen. The CombiCookTop range (formerly Fusion) includes induction cooktops that have an extractor embedded in the cooktop.</paragraph>How does cooking with induction work? <paragraph>Instead of the traditional heating element, an induction coil is placed beneath the glass ceramic cooktop, generating a varying electromagnetic field. The field generates eddy currents in the base of the pan, which leads to a rapid heating of the magnetic pan material.</paragraph>Is there a separate cooking zone for fish pans? <paragraph>Fish pans can be used without difficulty on any cooktop featuring a frying zone.</paragraph>What is the purpose of a cooktop with three cooking zones? <paragraph>As steamers are becoming increasingly popular, we have found that people tend to use fewer pots and pans in their cooking. This is why we have introduced cooktops featuring only three cooking zones that are more generously spaced.</paragraph>What are the different installation options for cooktops? <paragraph>Cooktops that are fitted flush with the worktop achieve perfect aesthetic integration and create the impression of compact simplicity. Cooktops with a set-off glass frame (bevel-edged) have a very elegant appearance, while chromium steel frames and over-large frames (for replacements) impress with their simplicity of installation and their classic design. They fit in a wide variety of kitchen combinations.</paragraph>Do I need to use special pans with an induction appliance? Are they expensive? <paragraph>For induction to work, the base of the pan must be ferromagnetic. As induction cooktops are quite popular, there is a broad range of well-priced pans available.</paragraph>Are my pans suitable for use with an induction appliance? <paragraph>Use a magnet to test whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop. If the magnet sticks to the base of your pan, you’re ready to go, otherwise, the pan will not work with an induction cooktop.</paragraph>Are there cooktop models with an automatic safety shut-off? <paragraph>Yes, all V-ZUG induction and autarkic radiant cooktops are fitted with an automatic safety shut-off that prevents overheating.</paragraph>How easy is it to keep food warm on a cooktop? <paragraph>Some cooktops have a lateral warming zone with temperature monitoring. Induction cooktops offer a warming function for the different cooking zones.</paragraph>Ergonomic cooking is important to me. What do I need to consider? <paragraph>Make sure the cooking zones are generously spaced so the pans don’t touch. We would recommend a cooktop with cooking zones in a V- or A-shaped alignment. You might also consider a panorama cooktop, where the cooking zones are positioned in a single line for easy access.</paragraph>Are there health risks involved with using induction cooktops? <paragraph>In spite of a great number of studies, scientists so far have found no proof that electromagnetic fields pose any environmental or health risks. Like any domestic appliance, induction cooktops generate an electromagnetic field. However, the field is many times less powerful than that generated by an electric razor, a hair dryer or a power drill. To find out more, visit www.fea.ch, the website of the Swiss Association of the Domestic Electrical Appliances Industry.</paragraph>What makes induction cooktops so easy to clean? <paragraph>Induction cooktops are impressively fast. They react quickly and are finely adjustable, which means liquids will rarely boil over, if ever. As the heat is generated in the base of the pan only, the glass around the cooking zone is hardly warmed up at all. Therefore spilt food won’t burn and the cooktop can be cleaned easily with a damp cloth.</paragraph>How do you clean the cooktop? <paragraph>Slight soiling can be removed with a smooth cloth and a little detergent. To tackle heavy dirt, apply glass ceramic cleaning agent with a sponge, leave it on for a few minutes and then remove it with a cloth. Encrusted dirt can be removed with a cooktop scraper.</paragraph>What are the highlights of the CombiCookTop V2000? <paragraph>The CombiCookTop V2000 is a sleek cooktop with a fully integrated extractor, now also available in a 60 cm width. It allows for drawer or storage space directly below the appliance, making kitchen planning more flexible. The grease filter is housed in a removable, dishwasher-safe cassette for easy cleaning. The activated charcoal filter can be lifted out easily, and two filter options are available: a long-life filter, which can be regenerated in the oven up to eight times for a service life of up to three years, helping to reduce maintenance costs; and a standard filter, which is replaced as needed and disposed of with household waste.</paragraph>What is different with the new control knobs on the V2000 hobs? <paragraph>The new control knobs offer intuitive, accessible operation with improved tactile and optional acoustic feedback. Supported by VisionAssist, they enable precise and simple control. Their traditional interaction appeals to many users, and they are available in Black, Platinum, and Pearl for flexible kitchen design integration.</paragraph>What does the new software provide for CookTop V6000 FullFlex hobs, and how can customers with existing FullFlex hobs install the update? <paragraph>The software update improves coil performance, providing faster heating, especially with small pots (Ø 110–150 mm). Operation is now more intuitive, and existing FullFlex appliances can be easily upgraded via the V-ZUG app. The PowerPlus function is now displayed directly on the slider next to power level 9, making it quicker and easier to access the highest power.</paragraph>Which appliances are available with a BlackDesignMatte surface? <paragraph>The BlackDesignMatte surface is available for the following appliances: CombiCookTop V2000 (60 cm) - available in BlackDesignMatte and glossy BlackDesign; CookTop V2000 (60 cm and 80 cm) - available in BlackDesignMatte and glossy BlackDesign</paragraph>What distinguishes the new optional control knobs? <paragraph>The new knobs are made of high-quality anodised aluminium and come in Black, Platinum, and Pearl. They are durable, offer a premium look, include a prepared interface for easy connection, and can also be retrofitted later.</paragraph>What is VisionAssist, and which users benefit from it? <paragraph>VisionAssist is a feature on the CookTop V2000 and CombiCookTop V2000 that improves usability and makes operation more intuitive. It works together with the physical knobs, which provide haptic and optional acoustic feedback (click stops). VisionAssist provides clear guidance for everyday cooking and is particularly useful for users who depend on acoustic power level information, including visually impaired users.</paragraph>What colours are the CookTop V6000 FullFlex hob available in? <paragraph>The FullFlex hob is available in Black, Platinum, and now also Pearl. The Black version features an even deeper shade for a smoother transition from the display to the frame. Platinum replaces the previous grey colour, offering a more refined and modern appearance. Pearl expands the design palette, providing additional flexibility for easy integration into kitchen designs.</paragraph>What installation considerations are there for the CookTop V6000 FullFlex hob? <paragraph>When planning and installing the FullFlex hob, ensure that the front cabinetry includes a ventilation slit of at least 2 mm to allow proper hot-air exhaust. Detailed requirements can be found in the planning guide.</paragraph>What control options does the CookTop V2000 offer? <paragraph>The CookTop V2000 allows customers to choose between the modern V-ZUG single slider or a unique knob control solution. Both options feature an intuitive, attractive user interface. The control knobs are available in V-ZUG design colours Black, Platinum and Pearl and allow quick, precise adjustment of power levels.</paragraph>
