Upo UI6421BC induction hob (743653)

The UPO induction hob UI6421BC is a very fast, precise, and easy-to-use induction hob that allows you to cook like a pro.

Upo's induction hob UI6421BC features many functions that make food preparation easier and faster. With the timer, you can schedule your cooking for a time that suits you or use cheap night-time electricity for stews that require a long cooking time. As the name suggests, the child lock prevents accidental use of the controls, not only by the youngest members of the family but also by pets, for example. The ceramic surface material is easy to keep clean and can always be wiped down. In most cases, a damp kitchen towel is sufficient for cleaning. The beveled front edge is both stylish and easy to clean. In addition, its elegant appearance allows the induction hob to fit seamlessly into the kitchen countertop.

The cooking zones of the induction hob are significantly more precise than those of ceramic or cast iron; this enables, for example, simmering sauces with much greater precision. You can let the sauce just simmer, so that the flavors are optimally concentrated. The safety features are in a class of their own: the induction hob switches off if the liquid evaporates from the pot or if liquid boils over onto the hob. If a zone is left on for a long time without being touched, the induction hob interprets this as having been forgotten and turns itself off. Thanks to their speed and precision, induction hobs are commonly used in professional kitchens; this is also the option that offers you the most features. User comfort is also increased by the possibility of adjusting the volume and duration of the beep.

Bridge-Zone
Combines the cooking zones on the left into one large cooking zone. With this function, you can use, for example, a large frying pan to grill a whole fillet or cook a whole fish in an oval-shaped fish grill. After combining the cooking zones, both plates work as one large cooking zone. This allows you to cook and grill meat and vegetables at the same time in a large frying pan, making food preparation both quick and impressive.

Automatic rapid heating
Delivers full peak power to the plates, for example to heat water or soup, and then automatically drops the power to a lower level. This feature is particularly suitable for, e.g., boiling water, boiling potatoes, boiling or heating soups, and finally keeping food warm. The "full power heating time" of the automatic rapid heating depends on the selector position of the plate being used; the time is 40 - 195 seconds. The lower the power selection of the plate, the shorter the rapid heating time.

Power boost
The power boost function delivers full power from the disk for a limited time. This function can be switched on regardless of the position of the plate's power selector and remains active for a maximum of 10 minutes. This function is particularly convenient when heating large quantities of food at once.

Timer
You can schedule all disks, for example, separately; when the set time reaches zero, the disk is switched off. This is suitable for all cooking for which you know the cooking or heating time in advance. When the timer is up, the platform will beep.

Egg clock function
You can quickly set the timer to alarm after, for example, 8 minutes when the boiled egg is ready. You can use this clock function even if you do not otherwise turn the control on. Thus, it can function as a "universal egg timer" in the kitchen.

The safety features of the induction hob UI6423BC are top-notch; the design of the hob has taken into account forgetfulness, possible operating errors, and user-related issues. It can rightly be said that the induction hob UI642BC is a safety-first induction hob!

Maximum heating time
For safety reasons, each plate has a maximum heating time, which depends on the selected heating power. The lower the selected power, the longer the maximum heating time. Depending on the power used, the times vary between 1.5h and 8h. When the maximum time is reached, the disk automatically switches off. This way, the disk can never remain on for an extended period.

Overheating protection for cooking areas
If the cooking area becomes too hot for some reason, the overheating protection will automatically kick in. It reduces the power of the cooking zone and thus protects the electronic components. If necessary, the overheating protection switches the plate off—for example, if the liquid to be boiled from the pot has evaporated and the pot itself starts to overheat instead of the liquid. Once the disk has cooled, it can be used again. The unit also features a cooling fan that cools the electronic components; it may remain on for a while even after you stop cooking. The operation of the cooling fan is fully automatic.

Automatic shutdown function
If the control selector is pressed for too long, or if, for example, liquid has been spilled on it or a cooking pot has been accidentally moved over the selector, the entire unit will be switched off. This prevents unintentional commands being given to the hob to heat a cooking area.

After-heat indicator light
The residual heat indicator lights up when the zone is still warm after use. The plate itself does not heat up, but all the heat comes from the container that was used on top of the plate. However, the residual heat can be used to keep products warm or, for example, to thaw them. Energy saving!!!
