HI5842FBG1 80cm Series 5 4 Zone Induction Cooktop

HI5842FBG1 80cm Series 5 4 Zone Induction Cooktop

Overview

The ASKO HI5842FBG1 is an 80cm four-zone bridge induction cooktop from the ASKO Series 5 — the wide-format Series 5 step up from the 60cm HI5643FBG1, delivering more cooking surface and up to 3600W of peak zone output across four generously spaced induction zones. At $2,899, it brings the complete Series 5 feature set to an 80cm layout: one Auto Bridge zone for large rectangular cookware, 12 power levels plus Boost, Dynamic Slide controls, the Move function, a multi-timer for tracking multiple dishes simultaneously, Hob to Hood connectivity, WiFi and ASKO ConnectLife app integration, and the PLUS Menu with preset programs for melting chocolate, keeping warm, simmering, and bringing to boil — all on a frameless black ceramic glass surface that supports both proud and flush-mount installation.

Features

80cm Four-Zone Layout — Up to 3600W Peak Output

• Four induction zones across an 80cm surface provide more spacing between cooking positions than a 60cm cooktop, making simultaneous multi-pan cooking more comfortable
• Peak zone output up to 3600W — higher than the 3000W Boost on the 60cm Series 5 models — for the most rapid heating available across the ASKO Series 5 induction range

Auto Bridge Zone

• One Auto Bridge zone pairs two adjacent zones into a single extended cooking area for large rectangular pans, fish kettles, griddles, and oversized cookware
• Each zone operates independently at standard output when the bridge function is not active

12 Power Levels Plus Boost

• Twelve precise power steps per zone for finer, more granular heat management than the 9-level range on Series 2 models
• Boost delivers maximum power instantly on any zone for rapid initial heating, searing, and fast boiling

PLUS Menu — Preset Temperature Programs

• Four specialised preset programs:
• Melt Chocolate — low, steady heat for melting chocolate without scorching
• Keep Warm — gentle sustained heat to hold finished dishes at serving temperature
• Simmer — consistent low output for soups, stocks, and slow-cooked sauces
• Bring to Boil — maximum output until boiling is detected, then automatic power reduction to maintain the boil efficiently
• Removes monitoring and guesswork from the cooking tasks where precision and consistency matter most

Multi-Timer

• Independent timers for each zone allow different countdown durations to run simultaneously across all four cooking positions
• Track separate dishes with different cooking times without manual cross-referencing

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

• When cookware is shifted from one zone to another, the Move function automatically transfers the current power level and timer settings to the receiving zone
• No need to manually re-enter the same heat setting after repositioning a pan

Hob to Hood Connectivity

• Communicates directly with compatible ASKO rangehoods to automatically adjust extraction fan speed based on cooking intensity across all four zones
• Rangehood responds as cooking activity changes and switches off when cooking ends — fully automatic ventilation management

WiFi and ASKO ConnectLife App

• WiFi-enabled with full ConnectLife app integration for remote monitoring, cooking guidance, and PLUS Menu access
• Ties 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 energy wasted heating empty zones

Pause Function

• Pauses all active zones simultaneously and holds settings until cooking resumes

Residual Heat Indicators

• Displayed on every zone after use to warn that the surface remains hot after switching off
• Prevents accidental contact burns in busy kitchens

Frameless Black Ceramic Glass

• Trimless, frameless black ceramic glass surface integrates cleanly across the full 80cm with no visible border
• Wipes down easily after cooking — no frame crevices or burner surrounds to clean around

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

Specifications

Benefits

More Space, Higher Peak Power – The 80cm layout gives four zones generous separation for comfortable multi-pan cooking, and 3600W peak output is the highest available in the ASKO Series 5 induction range

Multi-Timer Keeps Every Dish on Track – Independent timers on all four zones mean four different countdowns run simultaneously — critical when four dishes have four different finishing times

The Rangehood Manages Itself – Hob to Hood connectivity adjusts extraction automatically as cooking intensity changes across any of the four zones, keeping the kitchen fresh without constant manual management

PLUS Menu for Precision Without Watching – The four preset programs handle the tasks that traditionally require the most attention — chocolate, simmering, and boiling — automatically and consistently

Your Heat Settings Travel With the Pan – Move function carries power and timer to the receiving zone when cookware shifts, keeping cooking uninterrupted during repositioning

A Complete ASKO Ecosystem – ConnectLife WiFi ties the HI5842FBG1 into the same app as ASKO's Series 5 ovens, rangehoods, and other connected appliances for unified smart kitchen management
