We don't connect your cooktop for you. Don't you have experience with connecting Perilex connectors? Call a certified electrician. This cooktop is suitable for 1, 2 and 3 phase connections. Are you connecting it to a 1 or 2 phases? Keep in mind that the cooktop will be less powerful, and some functions may not work as intended.
You can use the flexible cooking zones on this cooktop as one big zone or two separate zones.
Thanks to the high-end preparation quality of this cooktop, you get a lot of options to prepare your dishes.
The cooktop is also suitable for roasting trays and elongated pans, thanks to the large cooking zone.
The cooktop doesn't have a memory function to save the most used settings for next time.
Description
The 90cm wide ETNA KIF890ZT induction cooktop has 5 cooking zones. These cooking zones have 10 settings and a boost function that heats your pans extra fast. The built-in cooktop recognizes on which zone you put a pan. You can then slide the slider to the temperature or setting you want with your finger. Use the flexible cooking zones as 1 large zone or 2 separate zones. That's useful if you like to cook with large pans or a roasting tray. The auto heat-up makes sure the cooking zone reduces power if it has reached the desired temperature. Thanks to the boil-dry protection, the cooking zones will turn off automatically if your pan boils over.
By default, the cooktop is 2-phased. Thanks to the power management system, you can also connect it to 3 phases or 1 phase with a regular connector.
Very nice hob, disadvantages are associated with induction?
Nice hob
Operation simple, but good
Fast
Boil over protection does not work
I made the switch from gas to induction after all the glowing stories about induction cooking. My gas hob was also used up after 20+ years. So perhaps many criticisms apply to induction in general rather than this particular hob. Below is an explanation per point.
Advantages:
Beautiful, quick to clean.
Operation is simple, but good enough except for the contrast. Select pan on pit, select position.
It gets hot quickly, we have riess pans, high setting should not be used. But it's still fast enough.
Because there is no gas burner under your pan, there is less air movement due to the combustion. This allows the extractor hood
a notch lower
What a large plate! 5 pans on it and actually still space left
Cons:
You can see the hot plates and the wires. Spots and looking at a certain angle. Not disturbing, see photo.
Boil over protection, I know what it's supposed to do, but just now the plate was 25% full of water and it kept going....but ok
so does a gas plate
Contrast difference can be seen, but only barely. It's 10 lines, so it won't matter. Stand is visible by means of a
number and you can slide higher/lower
You can clearly notice the hob that it controls on/off. So set it to position 5, then you see water bubbling, then not for 3 seconds,
than 3 seconds. I find it special that this cannot be done otherwise with today's technology. It went well
Local heat. Because you can occasionally see the wires, you know how the plate is connected, so where. I noticed that
the pans heat up where the wire sits on the plate. So if I have a skillet with melted butter, I see one part
bubbling and the other part not.
Sound fan/pans. The fan of the cooling of the electronics starts working quickly, this can be clearly heard when the
extractor hood is off (e.g. when boiling water). When the extractor hood is on, you can hear it to a limited extent. Of course you can also hear gas
clearly. Depending on the pan and what is in it, the pans make ticking/buzzing noises, especially when you boil water and then
just before it boils.
We've only had it for 2 weeks so I'm experimenting with pans a bit to see if I notice a difference.
Before you buy one, I think it's good to look at reviews of other brands or there are similar experiences, maybe some things just belong to induction cooking. But even with the above drawbacks I would buy one again.

Great hob for those who have 1 phase connection
Works fine on 1 phase socket
sleek design
Installation in 10 minutes
Operation is not intuitive
The ETNA KIF890ZT looks very nice. Installing is a piece of cake. Works well on 1 phase. Power is distributed and tweaked a bit but enough to cook with.

Solid hob
Flexible Zone
Keep warm function
It doesn't turn off when it boils over
This hob looks nice, clear how it should be connected and the operation is good. The flexible zone is very nice and handy for a grill plate.
However, when water boils over, the hob does not switch off
