Smeg - SAI74 - 70cm Induction Cooktop

SAI74

Smeg SmartSense 70cm induction cooktop

SURFACE SHARE

The Smeg SAI74 70cm induction cooktop has four induction cooking zones, two of which feature Smeg’s Surface Share technology - they can be combined and operated with a single control. Smeg’s Surface Share zones are the largest available and rectangular in shape, ensuring that every part of the zone to the edge is usable, without any cold spots. You can use pans of different shapes - long, large, irregular or rectangular; and any number of pans on the single shared surface.

PAN DETECTION

Zones which do not feature Surface Share are delineated by a cross where the zone’s horizontal crossbar is the maximum recommended diameter of the cooking utensil’s base and the vertical crossbar being the minimum diameter. Only the base area of the pan is activated by the electromagnetic field within the cooking zone so there is no wastage of power.

SLIDE OR DIRECT CONTROL

For precise cooking control, each zone is operated by an ergonomic slide control where you can choose to touch directly or finger swipe up and down the 1 to 9 power levels with no ‘tapping’ required.

PRESET TEMPERATURES

There are three pre-selected options to take the guesswork out of cooking – keep warm 42°, simmer 70° or rolling boil 94°C.

RECALL FUNCTION

After switching off the cooktop, it’s also possible to reactivate all of the previous settings.

AUTOMATIC COOKING AND TIMERS

Each zone can be programmed for automatic cooking, where the zone heats to full power and then automatically reduces to the level you have selected. Stop-cook timers can also be activated for each zone. The STOP & GO function means you can pause the whole cooktop, and return to your previous settings if you need to leave the cooktop unattended for any reason.

SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

For safety, Smeg’s SmartSense cooktops feature automatic spillage stop, touch control locks, child safety locks and residual heat indicators. Cooling fans ensure the temperature beneath the carcase is tempered and protects the electronic controls. And because boil-overs will not burn onto the surface, SmartSense cooktops are very easy to clean simply with a damp cloth.
