Neff is continuing to develop its kitchen technology, with a new range of electric and induction hobs. The 2016 range is packed with design enhancements and several new features: the new generation TwistPad rotary switch, the extended FlexInduction flexible induction cooking zone, PowerTransfer that saves your settings when you move your cookware to another area on the hob, and PowerMove that automatically adjusts the power when you move it along the Flex zone axis. New control functions and special sensors provide maximum ease of use and allow you to create impressive culinary masterpieces.
Neff’s new generation of TwistPad and TwistPad Fire removable magnetic switches
The evolution of the design and control interface
The major innovation of Neff electric and induction hobs are the new generation of TwistPad and TwistPad Fire magnetic removable switches. Functionally, they are even more convenient – you only need to touch the dial to select the cooking zone and one step to quickly access all the main functions of the hob. The flatter form of the switch and the circular backlighting that catches the user’s eye when it is needed, make using the hobs even more comfortable and easier. The removable disk is always within easy reach when cooking and can be removed from the hob for childproofing or before cleaning. The design of the switch echoes the Neff range of ovens, ensuring a consistent style across the appliances. In standby mode, only the power button and timer are visible on the panel. The premium version of the TwistPad Fire switch has additional benefits in terms of design and functionality. The stainless steel bezel, the use of 2mm-thick high quality Gorilla Glass and the stylish red ring light turn the TwistPad into the ultimate work of art.
Flexibility throughout: smart functions
The design update is not limited to the TwistPad Switch. Neff hobs are also characterized by a new printing of heating elements with exceptionally straight lines, which gives the surface a laconic and rigorous.
Neff induction hobs have a new flexible induction heating zone, the FlexInduction, which not only looks modern, but also allows you to use the hob more efficiently. This is possible due to the expansion zone in the center which is automatically activated along with the left and right FlexZone according to need.
Neff electric hobs with HighSpeed heating elements have been given a functional equivalent of the FlexInduction zone – the CombiZone. It has three sizes for round cookware 120, 145 and 180 mm and all three segments can be activated at the same time, which will be particularly useful when working with elongated cookware such as duck pans, teapots or grills.
PowerTransfer allows you to transfer your food to another part of the Neff induction hob. The original heating zone is switched off, while the new zone is activated, maintaining all power and temperature settings. The PowerMove function also adds flexibility to cooking. When it is activated you do not need to use the dial to turn the power down or up, you just move the pot inside the FlexInduction zone. The cookware placement in the front group automatically switches to heat level “9” for fast cooking , the central group to heat level “5” for cooking , and the rear group to heat level “L” to keep warm.
Inspiring Comfort: New Sensors
Neff induction and electric hobs have enhanced sensors to make cooking even more convenient and easy. The FryingSensor automatically controls the cooking process so that food doesn’t burn. It allows you to set one of five temperatures, on reaching which the hob gives audible and visual signals. Low-temperature mode is available for making sauces and other difficult dishes that usually cause a lot of hassle.
PanBoost and PotBoost modes, which start for just 30 seconds and 10 minutes respectively, are available on induction models for fast heating. These high power modes allow you to heat a pan or boil water in a pot quickly. Rapid heating is also facilitated by the increased power of the booster compared to previous models. After the rapid heat is over, the burners automatically switch back to the maximum output of the normal cooking mode. The new HighSpeed burners also heat up especially quickly, up to 20% faster than conventional HighSpeed burners.
The CountUp timer also makes the cooking process more convenient, thanks to which you won’t forget to take the food off the fire in time. This timer will be especially handy for cooking foods with specific steps until the end of cooking if, for example, you need to add new ingredients after 10 minutes and after another 20 minutes to change the temperature setting . Direct timer starts manually by the user.
