The Haier HAI643CCARUK built-in induction hob brings water to the boil and sears food faster thanks to its Booster function, which raises the first three zones to 2200 W. Being part of the Haier ID Series 2, it also has Power Management to keep the hob within a power limit of your choosing, and a Precision timer that stops a zone once its countdown ends.
Cooking
Four induction zones let you cook several dishes side by side. Three of them run at 1800 W and climb to 2200 W on boost, while the fourth gives 1200 W, or 1500 W when boosted. The power levels spread heat evenly over the base of the pan, so food cooks consistently.
Controls and everyday use
Touch controls respond quickly, so you can adjust the power level accurately with a fingertip. Day to day, the hob also gives you:
- A timer for a single zone or for several at once
- Power Management to stay under the maximum you choose
- Child Lock to stop the control panel being used
- Cooking tips and guided recipes through the hOn app
Cleaning up is quick: the smooth black glass ceramic top resists stains and spills, and a damp cloth is all it takes to wipe it down.
Size and installation
This hob is 52 cm deep and 59 cm wide, stands 5.3 cm tall and drops into a 56 x 48 cm opening in the worktop. It weighs 7.72 kg and runs on a 220-240 V supply. The Gas Replacement design follows the cut-out layout of a traditional gas hob, which makes changing over from gas easier. Spring fixings in the Easy Clips system hold it securely without any silicone, and it can also be fitted flush with the worktop surface.
