This is a very good looking hob and simple to use despite being high on technology. Starting with the look, this is a frameless hob so the gloss black glass goes right up to the edges, there are no knobs – instead everything is touch control. If you’ve not had a touch control hob before you will most likely love it. They are so easy to keep looking spotless if you take reasonable care when cooking and use the correct cleaning products.

This model is really easy to use – touch the on button, touch the icon corresponding to the zone you want to use (there are two large and two smaller ones) then touch the plus or minus icon to set the temperature. If you want to change the temperature or turn off, touch the right icon and the plus or minus again. At the end of cooking touch the on/off icon.

The Altimo built-in products are brand-free on the fascia so you can easily match with other products, it’s worth saying again – this is a very good looking hob.
