Novy Easy PRO can be surface or flush mounted into the worktop and features four octagonal cooking zones that can be converted into Flexzones, either side of the extractor, when used with a bridging function,

This will intuitively activate if a larger pan is placed across the zones, so the temperature remains uniform across both zones.

Featuring automatic pot detection, pans can be moved around the hob and the temperature will also remain the same once resituated.

With slider controls for each zone, there are nine power levels, with two further boost functions, Power and Super Power.

In addition, it boasts an Automatic Cooking which reduces boiling water to a simmer when it has reached boiling point, Keep Warm, Stop&Go to pause cooking and Grill for use with an additional grill or teppan yaki pan accessory.

The vented induction hob can be specified as an extraction or a recirculation model, features automatic extraction and operates at 39dB and a maximum of 57dB.

Country manager of Novy UK Owain Harrison said: “The Novy Easy PRO’s intuitive functions have been developed by our innovation team to make life easier in the kitchen.

“From automatically regulating extraction speeds to an array of cooking functions that offer genuine ease of use.

“This vented induction hob’s subtle streamlined design will also suit any kitchen style, and we are delighted that the Plus X jury has recognised these aspects of the product and have awarded it with four seals of approval.”
