Features
Five Independent Induction Zones — 90cm Surface
- Five cooking zones spread across 900mm provide the most comfortable, spacious multi-pan cooking layout in the ASKO induction range
- Ample separation between zones eliminates the crowding common to 5-zone 90cm cooktops where zones sit too close for comfortable simultaneous use
- 52mm height — the same low profile as the 60cm and 80cm Series 5 models — for a clean, flush benchtop presence
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 full output when the bridge is not active
- Auto Bridge activates seamlessly via the Dynamic Slide interface or PLUS Menu
Plus Zone — Flexible Central Zone
- An expanding central cooking area that adapts to accommodate different cookware sizes
- Provides flexibility for different pan diameters without the user needing to manually select zone size settings
Extended PLUS Menu — Comprehensive Preset Programs
- The most extensive cooking program suite in the ASKO Series 5 induction range:
- Bring to Boil — maximum power until boiling is detected, then automatic reduction to maintain the boil
- Boiling — sustained boiling temperature maintenance
- Simmering — consistent low-level output for stocks, soups, and braises
- Frying — preset output level optimised for frying temperatures
- Grill — sustained high heat for grilling and searing on induction-compatible griddle pans
- Auto Heat — heats the zone to a set temperature and maintains it automatically
- StayWarm — gentle sustained heat to hold finished dishes at serving temperature without further cooking
- SoftMelt — low, precise heat for melting chocolate, butter, and delicate ingredients without scorching
- EggTimer — preset timed cooking for eggs and other time-sensitive dishes
- Together these programs remove monitoring and guesswork from the cooking tasks that most frequently require active temperature management
TimeAssist
- Advanced timer and cooking coordination feature for managing multiple simultaneous cooking stages
- Helps track different timing requirements across the five zones for complex multi-dish meals
EggTimer
- Dedicated preset for timed cooking of eggs and other time-sensitive dishes
- Simplifies one of the most frequently requested precision cooking tasks in any kitchen
Personalisation Settings
- Customisable settings allow the cooktop's behaviour to be adjusted to suit individual cooking preferences and habits
Dynamic Slide Controls
- Touch-sensitive slider with instant response for smooth, precise power and timer adjustment across all five zones
- The most tactile and responsive control interface in the ASKO induction range
Move Function
- When cookware is shifted from one zone to another, Move automatically carries the current power level and timer settings to the receiving zone
- No need to re-enter the same heat setting after repositioning pans mid-recipe
- Especially valuable on a 5-zone surface where cookware moves more frequently between different cooking stages
12 Power Levels Plus Boost
- Twelve precise power steps per zone for fine-grained heat management from delicate simmering to maximum searing
- PowerBoost delivers maximum output instantly for rapid initial heating on any zone
Hob to Hood Connectivity
- Communicates directly with compatible ASKO rangehoods to automatically adjust extraction fan speed based on cooking activity across all five zones
- Fully automatic ventilation — no manual rangehood adjustments required during cooking
WiFi and ASKO ConnectLife App
- WiFi-enabled with full ConnectLife app integration for remote monitoring, cooking guidance, and PLUS Menu access
- Connects into the ASKO smart kitchen ecosystem alongside ConnectLife-enabled ovens, rangehoods, and other appliances
Auto Pot Detection
- Activates zones automatically when induction-compatible cookware is placed and deactivates when pans are removed across all five zones simultaneously
Pause Function
- Pauses all five active zones simultaneously and holds every setting until cooking resumes
Residual Heat Indicators
- Displayed on every zone after use to warn that the surface remains hot
- Essential safety feature across a 90cm surface with five zones in active use
Frameless Black Ceramic Glass
- Trimless, frameless black ceramic glass across the full 900mm with no visible border
- Easy to wipe down — no frame crevices or zone surrounds to clean around on the full 90cm surface
Flexible Installation: Proud and Flush Mount
- Compatible with all standard connection and wiring setups
- Supports both conventional proud installation and fully flush-mount

Benefits
Five Zones Across 90cm — Space to Cook Properly – Five zones spread over 900mm gives every pan the space and separation it needs; no reaching over active burners, no crowding, no compromising on which dishes can run simultaneously
The Most Complete PLUS Menu in the Series 5 Range – Nine preset programs including Frying, Grill, Auto Heat, StayWarm, SoftMelt, and EggTimer cover virtually every technique that benefits from automated temperature management — the 90cm model goes furthest beyond the four basic programs shared by the smaller models
Heat Settings That Follow the Pan – Move carries power and timer automatically when cookware shifts between zones — on a 5-zone surface where pans move through multiple cooking stages, this feature earns its place every session
The Rangehood Looks After Itself Across Five Zones – Hob to Hood connectivity manages extraction automatically regardless of how many of the five zones are active and at what output
SoftMelt for Delicate Ingredients – A dedicated preset for chocolate, butter, and other heat-sensitive ingredients prevents the scorching that makes chocolate melting and butter clarification notoriously difficult on conventional cooktops
Connected, Personalised, Smart – WiFi/ConnectLife, TimeAssist, EggTimer, and personalisation settings make the HI5952FBG1 the most intelligently configured induction cooktop ASKO offers
