Description
Designed for reliable everyday performance, the Buffalo freestanding induction hob features four heavy duty cooking zones with 11 power levels each, giving you the precision to boil, fry, simmer and sauté with speed and accuracy. The hob also features a boost function, providing even more power when you need it most.
Perhaps one of the most impressive features of the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob is its efficiency. Up to 70% more efficient than a traditional gas hobs, the 600 Series hob channels more energy directly into the cooking, delivering rapid heat-up times without flames or red-hot elements. In addition, as more energy goes into the cooking, there’s less heat escaping into the kitchen, reducing the load on your ventilation systems and providing a more comfortable working environment.
Below, the Buffalo induction hob is mounted on a strong stainless steel cupboard base with adjustable feet. This not only brings the hob up to an ergonomic working height, it also provides vital additional storage space for your kitchen – a perfect area to store a few induction-compatible pots, pans or utensils.
Once service is over, the unit is effortless to clean, with strong stainless steel and toughened ceramic glass construction. And as part of the Buffalo 600 Series, this induction hob is designed to suite with other 600 Series appliances, giving you a tidy, seamless cook line whatever the size of your kitchen. This hob can either be used as a countertop appliance or positioned on top of 600mm wide 600 Series cupboards (sold separately).

Frequently Asked Questions
Buffalo 600 Series 4 Zone Freestanding Induction Hob 2x 3kW FAQs
How many hobs and cooking plates does the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob have?
It has 4 hobs and 4 cooking plates, arranged as four heavy-duty induction cooking zones. This four-zone layout and its precise power controls support boiling, frying, simmering and sautéing during everyday commercial kitchen service.
How much power and control does the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob provide?
The hob has a 2x 3kW power arrangement. Each front zone has 11 numbered power levels, while each rear zone has 10 numbered levels plus a boost setting that delivers up to 3kW for faster heat-up. While boost is active, the corresponding front zone stops heating.
How energy-efficient is the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob?
It is designed to be up to 70% more efficient than a gas hob by directing energy into compatible cookware rather than heating an exposed element or flame. This supports rapid heat-up, can reduce running costs and allows less unwanted heat to escape into the kitchen, which can reduce the load on kitchen ventilation and support a more comfortable working environment.
What happens when a pan is removed from the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob?
Pan-detection technology stops a zone from continuing to heat without suitable cookware. Its indicator flashes red for up to 60 seconds after a pan is removed; replacing the pan within that period resumes operation, otherwise the zone switches off and must be reset from zero.
Does the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob have exposed heating elements?
No. Induction creates heat inside compatible magnetic cookware, so there are no naked flames or red-hot exposed elements. This reduces the risk of contact burns from an exposed heat source, although the glass and surrounding surfaces can still become hot during cooking.
How is the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob connected to the power supply?
It is a single-phase, plug-in appliance with two 13 A plugs, so routine connection does not require hardwiring. Both plugs must connect to suitable mains sockets because the four-zone hob has two supplies, and both isolation points must remain accessible.
Which cookware works with the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob?
Use flat-bottomed magnetic cookware such as suitable stainless steel, mild steel, black iron or cast iron pans. Rear zones accept pans from 14 cm to 23.5 cm in diameter, while the front zones accept pans from 14 cm to 21 cm. Glass, ceramic and weakly magnetic cookware are unsuitable.
How should the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob be cleaned?
Its toughened ceramic-glass cooking surface and strong stainless-steel construction are designed for straightforward maintenance. Switch off and disconnect both supplies, allow the appliance to cool, then clean it with warm soapy water and a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, abrasive cleaners and pressure washers, and dry it thoroughly.
What footprint does the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob require?
The hob is 600 mm wide and 600 mm deep, giving it a square commercial-kitchen footprint. Its 600 Series format is designed to align neatly with other appliances from the same range when planning a coordinated cook line.
What operational protection does the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob provide?
The hob switches off automatically after about four hours without activity. It also shuts down and sounds a buzzer if a pan becomes excessively hot; allow the appliance to cool before restarting it. Keeping the ventilation openings and removable lower air filters clear supports reliable operation.
What warranty comes with the Buffalo 600 Series induction hob?
The Buffalo 600 Series induction hob includes a 2-year parts and labour warranty, providing commercial operators with cover for both replacement parts and repair labour during the warranty period.
