HI2642FBG1 60cm 4 Zone Bridge Induction Cooktop

HI2642FBG1 60cm 4 Zone Bridge Induction Cooktop

Overview

The ASKO HI2642FBG1 is a 60cm four-zone bridge induction cooktop from the ASKO Series 2 — stepping above the HI2632FBG1 with a fourth cooking zone, an Automatic Bring-to-Boil program, and a Heat Up function, all at $1,699. The left-side Real Bridge™ zones link together for large rectangular cookware, while two independent round zones on the right provide additional cooking flexibility for smaller and medium pans simultaneously. The EasySlide Central Slider positions zone control at the centre of the cooktop for intuitive, unobstructed access, and the trimless frameless black ceramic glass design with soft cut edges supports both proud and flush-mount installation. Residual heat indicators, PowerBoost on all zones, and a five-year manufacturer's warranty complete a well-rounded 60cm induction cooktop for everyday family cooking.

Features

Flexible Bridge Induction™ Technology — Left Side Real Bridge™ Zones

• The two left-side zones (front left and rear left) are Real Bridge™ square zones that link together via the bridge function into a single extended cooking area
• Bridged left zones accommodate large rectangular pans, fish kettles, griddles, and extended cookware that a standard round zone cannot evenly support
• Each left zone operates independently as a standard 2100W zone when the bridge is inactive
• The two right-side round zones operate independently at all times — a different layout from the HI2632FBG1 where the bridge sits on the right

Four Independent Induction Zones

• Front left (Real Bridge™): 210×190mm square, 2100W / 3000W Boost
• Rear left (Real Bridge™): 210×190mm square, 2100W / 3000W Boost
• Front right (round): 160mm, 1400W / 1850W Boost — for smaller saucepans, milk pots, and butter melting
• Rear right (round): 210mm, 2300W / 3000W Boost — for medium and larger pans

Automatic Bring-to-Boil Program

• Heats the selected zone at maximum power until boiling point is detected
• Once boiling is confirmed, the zone automatically steps down to Level 5 to maintain the boil without wasting energy
• Ideal for pasta water, vegetables, tea, and any task where bringing a large volume of water to the boil quickly is the priority — no need to monitor or manually reduce heat once boiling begins

Heat Up Program

• Efficiently brings food up to the target cooking temperature before automatically settling to a consistent cooking level
• Removes the need to manually manage the transition from high initial heat to steady cooking temperature

Keep Warm

• Maintains finished dishes at a gentle low temperature without further cooking
• Holds food at serving temperature while coordinating multiple courses

EasySlide Central Slider

• Central-positioned slider control for adjusting power level and timer on each zone from the middle of the cooktop surface
• Keeps controls away from the front edge where pots, pans, and handles can obstruct access
• Maximises usable cooking space at the front of the cooktop
• Works alongside touch controls for a minimal, intuitive interface

PowerBoost

• Delivers maximum power (up to 3000W) instantly on any zone for the fastest possible heating
• Available on all four zones including the smaller 160mm front right zone

Residual Heat Indicators

• Each zone displays a residual heat warning after cooking, indicating the surface remains hot after the zone is switched off
• Prevents accidental burns from touching a recently used zone

Frameless Trimless Design with Soft Cut Edges

• No visible frame or border — the black ceramic glass surface integrates cleanly into the benchtop
• Soft cut edges give a refined finish and simplify surface cleaning by eliminating frame gaps and crevices

Flexible Installation: Proud and Flush Mount

• Compatible with all standard connection and wiring setups
• Supports both proud (conventional raised) and flush-mount installation
• Flush mount creates a completely flat, integrated benchtop appearance

Easy-Clean Surface

• Induction glass surfaces do not get hot enough to bake on food spills — most residue wipes away easily when cool
• No grooves, frames, or burner parts to clean around

Benefits

Four Zones for Full Family Cooking – A fourth zone compared to the HI2632FBG1 means a main dish, two sides, and a sauce can all run simultaneously without any zone compromise

Bridge Left, Independent Right – The Real Bridge™ left zones handle large rectangular cookware while the two independent right zones manage different-sized pans at different temperatures at the same time

The Cooktop Boils for You – Automatic Bring-to-Boil heats at full power and automatically reduces once boiling is detected, saving energy and removing the need to monitor or manually adjust during the most time-consuming cooking step

160mm Zone for Small Cookware – The 160mm front right zone is sized appropriately for butter melters, small saucepans, and milk pots — a common gap in 4-zone cooktops that fit all zones to the same diameter

Safe After Cooking Ends – Residual heat indicators on every zone prevent accidental burns after cooking, making the cooktop safer in busy kitchens with children

Flush or Proud, Your Call – The same cut-out supports both installation styles, giving kitchen designers the freedom to choose without additional preparation
