HI2842FBG1 80cm 4 Zone Bridge Induction Cooktop

HI2842FBG1 80cm 4 Zone Bridge Induction Cooktop

Overview

The ASKO HI2842FBG1 is an 80cm four-zone bridge induction cooktop from the ASKO Series 2 — stepping above the 60cm HI2642FBG1 with a wider surface, more generous zone sizing, and a more evenly matched zone configuration across all four positions at $2,099. The right-side Real Bridge™ zones link together for large rectangular cookware, while two independent round zones on the left — 250mm and 200mm — provide two substantial cooking positions for pans of different sizes simultaneously. The EasySlide Central Slider positions all zone controls at the centre of the cooktop, and Automatic Bring-to-Boil, Heat Up, Keep Warm, auto pan detection, PowerBoost, 9 power levels, residual heat indicators, child lock, and a pause function are all included. Frameless, trimless black ceramic glass with soft cut edges, proud and flush-mount installation support, and a five-year manufacturer's warranty complete an 80cm induction cooktop well suited to active family kitchens.

Features

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

• The two right-side zones (front right and rear right) are Real Bridge™ square zones that link together via the bridge function into a single extended cooking area
• When bridged, the combined right zone accommodates large rectangular pans, fish kettles, griddles, and elongated cookware across the full right-side span
• Each right zone operates independently as a standard 2100W zone when the bridge is inactive

Four Induction Zones — Generous 80cm Layout

• Front left (round): 250mm diameter, 2300W / 3000W Boost — large zone for woks, stockpots, and big pans
• Front right (Real Bridge™ square): 210×190mm, 2100W / 3000W Boost
• Centre rear (round): 200mm diameter, 2300W / 3000W Boost — medium zone for everyday pans
• Rear right (Real Bridge™ square): 210×190mm, 2100W / 3000W Boost
• All four zones are rated at 2100–2300W standard output — a more evenly matched zone set than the 60cm models, with no small low-power zone

Automatic Bring-to-Boil Program

• Heats the zone at maximum power until boiling is detected, then automatically reduces to Level 5 to maintain the boil efficiently
• Removes the need to monitor or manually reduce heat once boiling begins — ideal for pasta, vegetables, and any high-volume water heating task

Heat Up Program

• Brings food up to the target cooking temperature quickly before automatically settling to a consistent cooking level
• Eliminates manual management of the transition from initial high heat to steady cooking

Keep Warm

• Maintains finished dishes at a gentle low temperature without further cooking
• Holds food at serving temperature while the rest of the meal is finished

EasySlide Central Slider

• Central-positioned slider and touch control interface adjusts power and timers for each zone from the middle of the cooktop
• Keeps the front edge of the cooktop clear of controls, maximising usable cooking space and avoiding obstruction by pans and handles
• Provides smooth, responsive control across all 9 power levels

PowerBoost

• Delivers maximum output (up to 3000W) instantly on any zone for the fastest possible initial heating on all four zones

9 Power Levels

• Nine precise power steps on every zone from the gentlest simmer to maximum output
• Covers every cooking technique from delicate sauce reduction to rapid searing

Auto Pan Detection

• Automatically detects when compatible induction cookware is placed on a zone and activates it
• Deactivates the zone when the pan is removed — no unnecessary energy use

Residual Heat Indicators

• Each zone displays a residual heat warning after cooking to indicate the surface is still hot
• Prevents accidental burns from zones recently in use

Child Lock

• Locks all active controls to prevent accidental activation or adjustment
• Adds an important safety layer in family kitchens with young children

Pause Function

• Pauses all active zones simultaneously and resumes at previous settings — useful during cooking interruptions

Frameless Trimless Design with Soft Cut Edges

• No visible frame or border on the 800mm black ceramic glass surface
• Soft cut edges create a refined finish and allow quick, easy surface wiping
• Integrates seamlessly into any modern kitchen benchtop

Flexible Installation: Proud and Flush Mount

• Compatible with all standard connection and wiring setups
• Supports both conventional proud installation and flush mount for a fully flat benchtop appearance

Benefits

More Space, More Evenly Matched Zones – The 80cm surface gives all four zones room to breathe, and with all zones rated at 2100–2300W, there is no weak or low-power zone to work around when multiple pots are on the go simultaneously

Large Left Zones for Large Cookware – The 250mm front left and 200mm centre rear round zones are sized for stockpots, woks, and large sauté pans — common in family cooking — without needing the bridge function to accommodate them

Bridge Right for Anything Rectangular – The Real Bridge™ right zones link together to handle griddles, fish kettles, and long pans that don't fit standard round zones, while the two left zones continue cooking independently

Boil-to-Level-5 Automatically – Automatic Bring-to-Boil handles the most energy-intensive kitchen task and steps down itself, saving gas, saving attention, and delivering consistently boiled water without monitoring

Safe Around Children – Child lock, residual heat indicators, and auto pan detection between them cover the main safety risks of an active family kitchen

Flush or Proud — Built for Renovation and New Build Both – Flexible installation with a 750mm cut-out makes the HI2842FBG1 straightforward to specify in both renovation and new-build kitchen projects
