AEG IKB 64401 FB black (949 597 397)

Well-coordinated tandem of stove and hood

The induction hob in 2022 expanded the 3000 line, which combines the solutions of the initial (basic) level of the AEG brand. It, along with the Zanussi ZIAN 644 K, is one of the most affordable Hob2Hood models on the market. So, if you have a hood compatible with this technology, you won’t have to turn on the latter or adjust the speed of its fan. The desired air absorption mode will be selected automatically, taking into account the current power of the AEG IKB 64401 FB burners.

4 heating zones, 4 sliders

Four induction coils are “hidden” under the glass-ceramic surface. Two burners of the same size (18 cm) and power (1800 W) are located at the back. On the front left is a 21 cm 2300 watt zone, and on the right is a 14.5 cm 1400 watt zone. The peak power of any of the burners can be temporarily increased using the PowerBoost mode. For a small zone, this "increase" is 1.1 kW, for medium - 1 kW, and for the largest - 1.4 kW (up to 3700 W).

To control the proposed touch panel with 4 individual sliders Direct Touch Controls. They will help you flexibly adjust the heating intensity (14 power levels are available) or activate PowerBoost. The rest of the sensors allow you to pause the device for a short time (pause), set a timer or even block the control to protect it from curious kids.

The total connection power of 7.35 kW makes it possible to use 3 or even 4 burners at once. But only if your wiring "pulls", otherwise the device will automatically "cut" the power by 2 times. In fact, there is a power limit, but not at all flexible. Otherwise, the AEG IKB 64401 FB is a solid induction hob for the money.
