HI5643FMG1 60cm Series 5 4 Zone Induction Cooktop

HI5643FMG1 60cm Series 5 4 Zone Induction Cooktop

Overview

The ASKO HI5643FMG1 is a 60cm four-zone bridge induction cooktop from the ASKO Series 5, delivering the same comprehensive specification as the HI5643FBG1 in a premium Matte Black finish at $2,599. Two Auto Bridge zones, 12 power levels plus Boost, the Dynamic Slide control interface, the Move function, Hob to Hood connectivity, WiFi and ConnectLife app integration, and the PLUS Menu with preset programs for melting chocolate, keeping warm, simmering, and bringing to boil are all carried over unchanged. The matte black ceramic glass surface reduces fingerprint and smudge visibility compared to the gloss black alternative, and pairs naturally with ASKO's matte black kitchen appliances — including the HG8954MGD1 and HIG89524MGD1 — for a cohesive, contemporary kitchen suite.

Features

Two Auto Bridge Zones

• Two independent bridgeable zone pairs allow two oversized pans, griddles, or oblong cookware pieces to be accommodated simultaneously
• Each zone operates independently at standard output when the bridge function is not active
• A meaningful advantage over single-bridge designs in both the Series 2 range and the larger HI5842FBG1 80cm

12 Power Levels Plus Boost

• Twelve precise power steps per zone for finer, more granular heat control than Series 2's 9-level range
• PowerBoost delivers maximum output instantly for rapid heating, searing, and fast boiling on any zone

PLUS Menu — Preset Temperature Programs

• Four specialised preset programs accessible via the PLUS Menu:
• Melt Chocolate — low, steady heat precisely suited to melting chocolate without scorching
• Keep Warm — gentle heat that maintains finished food at serving temperature
• Simmer — consistent low output for stocks, soups, and slow-cooked sauces
• Bring to Boil — maximum output until boiling is detected, then automatic step-down to maintain the boil efficiently

Dynamic Slide Controls

• Touch-sensitive slider with instant response for smooth, precise power and timer adjustment across all four zones
• More responsive and fluid than the EasySlide Central Slider in the Series 2 range

Move Function

• Carries the current power level and timer settings from one zone to another when cookware is repositioned
• No manual re-entry of heat settings after shifting a pan mid-recipe

Hob to Hood Connectivity

• Automatically communicates with compatible ASKO rangehoods to adjust extraction fan speed based on cooking intensity
• Rangehood responds as cooking activity changes and switches off when cooking ends — no manual adjustment required

WiFi and ASKO ConnectLife App

• WiFi-enabled with full ConnectLife app integration for remote monitoring and cooktop management
• Connects into the broader ASKO connected kitchen ecosystem alongside ConnectLife-enabled ovens and rangehoods

Auto Pot Detection

• Activates zones automatically when induction-compatible cookware is placed and deactivates when pans are removed
• No wasted energy on empty zones

Pause Function

• Pauses all active zones and holds settings until cooking resumes
• Useful during brief interruptions without losing any active cooking configuration

Residual Heat Indicators

• Displayed on every zone after cooking ends to indicate the surface remains hot
• Prevents accidental burns from recently used zones

Matte Black Ceramic Glass

• Premium matte finish scatters ambient light rather than reflecting it — reducing fingerprint and smudge visibility significantly between cleaning sessions
• A soft, contemporary surface character that pairs naturally with matte black kitchen hardware and ASKO's matte black appliance range
• Easy to wipe down when cool; durable and heat-resistant
• Pairs directly with the HG8954MGD1 pure gas cooktop and HIG89524MGD1 Duo Fusion for a complete matte black kitchen suite

Flexible Installation: Proud and Flush Mount

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

Benefits

Two Bridges Better Than One – Two independent Auto Bridge zones mean two oversized pans or griddles run simultaneously — a genuine practical advantage over single-bridge 60cm designs

Fingerprints Stay Hidden – The matte black ceramic glass surface scatters light rather than reflecting it, keeping smudges and fingerprints invisible between cleaning sessions on a heavily used cooking surface

12 Levels for Finer Control – Three additional power steps over Series 2 provide more precise gradation at the low and high ends of the range where accuracy matters most

PLUS Menu Handles the Tricky Tasks – Melt chocolate, simmer, keep warm, and bring to boil are handled automatically — the program takes over the monitoring, the cook stays focused on the dish

The Rangehood and Cooktop Work Together – Hob to Hood connectivity adjusts extraction automatically as cooking activity changes, keeping the kitchen fresh without any additional controls to manage

A Matte Black Kitchen Suite – Pairs directly with the HG8954MGD1, HIG89524MGD1, and other ASKO matte black appliances for a precisely coordinated, fingerprint-resistant kitchen
