HI5320FBG1 38cm Series 5 2 Zone Induction Cooktop
Overview
The ASKO HI5320FBG1 is a 38cm two-zone bridge induction cooktop from the ASKO Series 5 — a compact domino-format unit that brings the more capable Series 5 feature set to small kitchens, supplemental cooking positions, and hybrid setups that pair it alongside the ASKO HG8313BGD1 gas domino. At $2,199, it carries features not found in any ASKO Series 2 model: Dynamic Slide touch-sensitive controls, the Move function that carries heat settings when shifting pans between zones, Hob to Hood connectivity that communicates automatically with compatible ASKO rangehoods, and the PLUS Menu of extended cooking programs. Two induction zones with a single Auto Bridge combine into one extended zone for larger cookware, and Auto Pot Detection, a pause function, and a frameless black glass ceramic surface with proud and flush-mount installation round out a unit that delivers more intelligent cooking capability than its compact 38cm footprint suggests.
Features
Dynamic Slide Controls
- ASKO Series 5's upgraded control interface — a touch-sensitive slider that responds instantly to contact for smooth, precise power adjustment across both zones
- More responsive and refined than the EasySlide Central Slider in the Series 2 range
- Allows seamless, fluid adjustments to power level and timer without lifting from the surface
Auto Bridge
- The two zones can be combined into a single extended cooking area via the Auto Bridge function
- Accommodates larger pots, griddles, and oblong cookware that a single round zone cannot evenly support
- Each zone operates independently when Auto Bridge is not active
Move Function
- ASKO Series 5's most distinctive practical feature: when you shift a pan from one zone to another, the Move function carries the current heat settings — power level and timer — from the source zone to the destination zone automatically
- Eliminates the need to manually re-enter the same temperature setting on the new zone after repositioning cookware
- Particularly valuable during multi-stage cooking where the same heat level needs to continue uninterrupted across different positions
Hob to Hood Connectivity
- The HI5320FBG1 communicates directly with compatible ASKO rangehoods to automatically adjust the extraction fan speed based on cooking activity on the cooktop
- When cooking intensity increases, the rangehood responds accordingly without manual adjustment
- When cooking ends, the rangehood reduces or switches off automatically
- A genuinely integrated kitchen system feature not available on Series 2 models
PLUS Menu
- Extends the cooktop's functionality with access to specialised cooking programs and additional functions beyond the standard power levels
- Provides additional control for tasks that benefit from preset programs or guided cooking modes
Auto Pot Detection
- Automatically detects when induction-compatible cookware is placed on a zone and activates it
- Deactivates the zone when the pan is removed — no energy wasted on empty zones
Pause Function
- Pauses all active zones simultaneously and holds settings — resume cooking at the same levels when ready
- Useful during meal preparation interruptions without losing any active cooking configuration
Frameless Black Glass Ceramic
- Trimless, frameless black glass ceramic surface integrates cleanly into any benchtop with no visible border
- A compact 38cm footprint that fits wherever a standard single-width appliance can be installed
Flexible Installation: Proud and Flush Mount
- Compatible with all standard wiring setups
- Supports both proud (conventional) and flush-mount installation for a flat, integrated benchtop appearance
Domino Format — Pairs with Gas or Other Induction
- 38cm width is the standard domino format, designed to pair alongside a second domino-format cooktop
- Combines naturally with the ASKO HG8313BGD1 Fusion Volcano gas domino for a hybrid gas + induction setup in a single 76cm cooktop run
- Also functions as a standalone compact primary or secondary induction cooking position in smaller kitchens

Benefits
Series 5 Capability in 38cm – The Dynamic Slide, Move function, Hob to Hood, and PLUS Menu are Series 5 features that no Series 2 model offers — the HI5320FBG1 brings the more capable tier to a compact domino format
Your Heat Settings Travel With the Pan – The Move function is one of the most practically useful induction features ASKO offers — no re-entering the same power level every time you shift a pan
The Rangehood Adjusts Itself – Hob to Hood connectivity means the extraction system always matches cooking intensity without a separate manual adjustment every time heat levels change
The Perfect Gas + Induction Hybrid – Pair the HI5320FBG1 with the HG8313BGD1 Fusion Volcano gas domino for a 76cm cooking run that combines induction precision with high-heat gas wok capability on one benchtop
Bridge When You Need More, Independent When You Don't – Auto Bridge accommodates oversized pans and griddles when needed, and each zone functions independently for everyday cooking
Fits Where Full-Width Cooktops Can't – The 38cm domino format opens up installation possibilities in apartments, galley kitchens, and island benchtops where a full 60cm or 80cm cooktop doesn't fit
