Küppersbusch is presenting two new hobs with extremely robust surfaces at the area30 trade fair in Löhne. The patented SCHOTT CERAN® Miradur™ coating permanently protects the hobs against scratching. As a result, the hardness level of the surface was improved from 6 to approx. 9.5 on the Mohs` hardness scale in a comparison with standard glass ceramic hobs. SCHOTT CERAN® Miradur™ not only reduces signs of use caused by cleaning and cooking; it also ensures that the hobs look brand new, even after many years. The metallic appearance of this surface also gives the hobs a fascinating look.

New SlimTouch controls

The 80-cm wide hobs are also fitted with the new Küppersbusch SlimTouch controls: The 11-step power control system can be operated easily and intuitively. It is not visible when the hobs are switched off. The controls are only lit up when a hob is switched on – an especially aesthetic solution for design enthusiasts. The KI 8820.0 models have also been equipped with a pre-defined hot food setting at approx. 70°C. Two cooking zones can be activated together to create a large surface thanks to a bridging function. The Chef function has been copied from the professionals: It sub-divides the hobs into three sections (left, centre and right). Individual power settings can be made for each section, so you cook by pushing the cooking pots onto the different cooking sections and not by changing the power settings. The hobs are available for flush-mounted installation and they also come with a multi-facet finish.

New: white induction hob with a downdraft extractor

An 80-cm wide white induction hob with an integrated downdraft extractor is also new in the range. This makes Küppersbusch the first manufacturer to offer a downdraft extractor in white. The ventilation screen can also be personalised in six different colours. The metal grease filter can be quickly removed through the top and rinsed in the dishwasher. At not more than 55 decibels for the standard setting, the noise level is very low thanks to a particularly quiet ventilation system in the base. The white hob with an integrated downdraft extractor harmonises particularly well with natural stone worktops which are currently the trend, but it also fits perfectly with wood and concrete surfaces.
