This ultra-stylish four-zone induction hob is brilliantly versatile and great for large-scale cooking. It offers four cooking zones in three different sizes, including a versatile bridge function, which merges two zones into one to create a larger cooking area for when you need to cook more in one go using a griddle pan or casserole dish. It uses induction technology which delivers fast heat to the bottom of your pan, while the remaining hob surface stays cool and safe to touch, thus making it really energy efficient and can help you save money on your bills. And, thanks to the hob's smooth surface, you can wipe away any spillages quickly and easily to keep it looking its best. Plus, its sleek, unbranded design lends itself to any kitchen, blending seamlessly with the rest of your other appliances.
The control panel is conveniently positioned at the front of the hob for quick and easy access to all the cooking functions. It uses touch controls that are responsive and easy to use, offering nine power levels to cook your meals to perfection. There's even a handy power boost function that can be used to give your cooking zone a speedy hit of extra heat when required, making it ideal for flash frying or bringing a pan to the boil faster. The timer function is great too as it can be programmed to switch off your chosen hob zone after a set amount of time to prevent any overcooking or burning. Or if you prefer, you can also use it as a simple minute minder to alert you when your set time has ended, rather than switching off.
The hob comes with several clever safety features to make the whole experience as stress-free as possible. For instance, each cooking zone comes with a residual heat indicator to let you know when the surface has cooled to a temperature that's safe to touch. Plus, it'll automatically switch off if you leave the heat unattended for a long time. You can even lock the touch controls so that the hob settings can't be accidentally activated by wandering hands, which is great peace of mind for those with little children.

Question from John ackroyd: Asked on 07/11/2025 Does this plug in below the work surface
Hi John,The ElectriQ 60cm 4-Zone Induction Hob (model eiQ60INDBRIDGE) comes with a 13A plug, so it can be plugged in, but when installing it under a work surface, you must ensure proper ventilation, clearances, and compliance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Even though it’s “plug-and-play,” built-in use may still require a dedicated circuit or hard-wiring depending on your kitchen setup, so always follow the official guidelines to ensure safety and performance.Thanks!
Question from Paul R.: Asked on 24/10/2025 current hole in work top is 557mm by 467mm will unit fit or will have to be enlarged
Hi Paul,To fit the electriQ 60cm 4 Zone Induction Hob with Bridge Zone (model eiQ60INDBRIDGE), you'll need to slightly modify your existing hole. The current hole is 3mm narrower and 23mm shallower than required, so you'll need to widen it by 3mm and deepen it by 23mm to ensure the unit fits properly.Thanks!
Question from Kaygee: Asked on 21/10/2025 If all the rings are in use at once it with use fat more power than safe with the 13amp plug according to electrical safety advice. So why is it fitted with a 13 amp plug?
Hi,The ElectriQ EI60INDBRIDGE induction hob is fitted with a 13?A plug because it is designed to operate safely within the limits of a standard UK socket. Although its total power can reach 2.8?kW, the hob intelligently distributes power across the zones, ensuring it never overloads the circuit. This makes it convenient and safe to use without hardwiring, though using all zones at maximum power simultaneously may slightly reduce performance.Thanks!
Question from Paul: Asked on 07/10/2025 Do you need special induction pans or can I use my existing pans
Hi Paul, yes, you can use your existing cookware on this induction hob, provided they are induction-compatible. Thank you.
Hello Paul, yes, on all induction hobs you will have to use induction pans. Thanks
Hi, You can use your existing pans on the electriQ 60cm 4 Zone Induction Hob with Bridge Zone, as long as they are induction-compatible. This means your pans need to have a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel.
Thank you.
