Smeg SI964PM 60cm Induction Cream Hob "Victoria Aesthetic"

Smeg SI964PM 60cm Built-In Induction Hob - Cream Victoria Aesthetic

► Product Overview

The Smeg SI964PM is a 60cm built-in induction hob finished in a warm cream colour, part of the iconic Victoria Aesthetic range. Combining the nostalgic elegance of mid-century Italian design with cutting-edge induction technology, this hob is a statement piece for any kitchen. Four induction zones deliver precise, responsive heat with no open flame, making it one of the safest and most energy-efficient cooking surfaces available. Whether you are simmering a delicate sauce or bringing a large pot to a rapid boil, the SI964PM gives you complete control with instant results.

► Design and Build Quality

Smeg Victoria hobs are defined by their period-inspired styling — curved chrome knobs, a clean symmetrical layout, and a rich cream glass surface that complements both modern and traditional kitchens. The SI964PM features four tactile rotary controls positioned along the front edge, providing an intuitive cooking experience. The surface is made from premium ceramic glass that is smooth, easy to clean, and highly resistant to thermal shock. Its 60cm footprint suits standard hob cutouts and integrates neatly with matching Smeg Victoria ovens for a coordinated aesthetic.

► Cooking Zones and Performance

The SI964PM is equipped with four induction zones carefully sized for a variety of cookware. Two standard zones handle everyday pots and pans, while an extended zone accommodates larger-diameter cookware including woks and stock pots. Induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface, meaning faster heat-up times, more accurate temperature control, and a cooler, safer hob surface. Residual heat indicators alert you if any zone remains warm after use — a valuable safety feature for households with children.

► Key Features

The SI964PM includes a boost function on each zone, delivering maximum power for fast boiling. A child safety lock prevents accidental activation, and an automatic switch-off feature turns the hob off if cookware is removed or if the hob has been left on for an extended period. Electronic touch controls supplement the rotary knobs for fine-grained power adjustments across 9 power levels per zone. A timer function allows you to set precise cooking durations for each zone independently, giving you full control over your cooking process.

► Energy Efficiency

Induction cooking is among the most energy-efficient methods available. Because heat is generated directly within the base of the pan rather than the hob surface, very little energy is wasted. The SI964PM is rated for high efficiency, helping reduce electricity consumption compared to conventional electric or gas hobs. In a region like Northern Cyprus where energy costs matter, this translates to meaningful savings over time. The hob only activates when compatible ferromagnetic cookware is placed on the zone, eliminating standby energy waste entirely.

► Installation and Compatibility

Installation requires a standard 60cm hob cutout and a dedicated electrical supply, typically 400V three-phase or a high-amperage single-phase circuit depending on local wiring. Smeg provides full installation guidelines with the unit. The SI964PM pairs perfectly with other Smeg Victoria series appliances — including matching cream ovens and hoods — available at Sharaf Electro Store. Compatible cookware must have a magnetic base; induction-compatible pots and pans from leading brands are widely available and sold separately.
