This 2-in-1 appliance integrates a high-performance induction hob with a built-in downdraft extractor, making it the perfect choice for those who want both cooking efficiency and effective ventilation. Its minimalist design fits seamlessly into any kitchen, delivering outstanding performance without compromising on aesthetics. The standout feature of the Smeg HOBD472D is its integrated downdraft extractor. Positioned centrally between the induction zones, this extractor effectively removes steam, smoke, and cooking odors directly from the hob surface, ensuring a clean and fresh kitchen environment. The downdraft design is a sleek alternative to traditional overhead extractors, offering powerful ventilation that is built into the worktop, saving space and maintaining a streamlined look. The hob itself features four powerful induction zones that provide fast and precise cooking.

Each cooking zone is independently controlled, giving you complete flexibility to cook multiple dishes at different temperatures simultaneously. For tasks requiring intense heat, the hob is equipped with a PowerBoost function for each zone, offering an extra burst of power for tasks like boiling water quickly or searing meats to perfection. The auto-vent function automatically adjusts the extractor fan speed based on the cooking activity detected on the hob. This smart feature ensures that ventilation is optimized for the level of cooking intensity, whether you are simmering gently or frying at high heat, providing a hands-free experience that allows you to focus entirely on your cooking. The Smeg HOBD472D also features flexi-zone technology, allowing you to combine two cooking zones into one larger zone for bigger pots and pans. This is ideal for cooking larger meals or for using specialty cookware like griddles or fish kettles, giving you the freedom to cook with versatility and precision. The hob is designed with an elegant, black ceramic glass surface, which not only looks sleek and modern but is also easy to clean. Spills and splatters can be wiped away quickly thanks to the smooth, flat surface. Additionally, the ceramic glass is highly durable and resistant to scratches, ensuring that the hob maintains its pristine appearance over time. For added safety, the Smeg HOBD472D is equipped with residual heat indicators that alert you when the cooking zones are still hot after use. The hob also features a child safety lock, which prevents accidental activation, making it a safe choice for families with young children. The safety features ensure peace of mind while cooking and add an extra layer of protection to your kitchen. The integrated extractor offers a high extraction rate and comes with multiple speed settings, allowing you to customize the ventilation to your cooking needs. The extractor also features a grease filter that is easy to remove and clean, ensuring optimal performance and air quality in your kitchen.
