The Whirlpool AKT8090LX Ceramic Hob has 4 rapid heating electric zones in 3 different sizes to suit your cooking needs. Touch sensitive controls offer complete control over your cooking while offering a safer alternative to dial with built in child lock. Residual heat indicators stay on until the surface has cooled down to a temperature which is safe enough to touch. There is a child lock for peace of mind while a programmable timer lets you set a time for how long you want a hob zone on for before it goes off.
