Smart Safety Features
How It Compares to Traditional Electric Hotplates
Induction hobs like the IH7208 heat the pan directly via electromagnetic induction, not the surface itself — making them generally faster and more energy efficient, with cooler surfaces and safer operation. You’ll need induction compatible pots and pans (magnetic base), otherwise the unit won’t heat.
Who It’s Best For
Small households or apartments – perfect single burner solution.
Busy cooks – fast heating and preset modes save time.
Multi purpose kitchens – works well as supplementary hob alongside a stove.
Students or rental kitchens – space efficient and easy to use.
Tips for Best Use
Ensure your cookware has a magnetic base — test with a magnet on the bottom.
Use the timer to avoid overcooking or burning food.
Clean the ceramic surface only when cold to avoid damage.
