The Hafele Vortex 460 (HAF-538-66-261) is a premium 60cm built-in gas hob designed for the modern kitchen where space efficiency meets professional performance. Crafted for those who demand precision in their cooking, this hob features a sleek 8mm toughened matt beveled black glass surface that provides a refined, contemporary aesthetic while ensuring long-term durability.
At the heart of the Vortex 460 are four full brass burners utilizing the specialized Vertex Flame Design for superior heat distribution. The configuration includes one high-performance burner for rapid heating and three smaller burners for simmering and delicate tasks, allowing users to manage multiple dishes simultaneously with ease. The inclusion of a triple ring burner further enhances its versatility for various cookware sizes.
Safety is paramount in the Vortex series. This hob is equipped with a Flame Failure Safety Device (FFSD), which automatically cuts off the gas supply if the flame is accidentally extinguished, providing peace of mind for busy households. The electric auto-ignition system eliminates the need for external lighters, offering a seamless and hassle-free start to every meal.
Attention to detail is evident in the build quality, from the gunmetal finish metal knobs that offer a tactile, premium feel to the sturdy pan supports. Whether you are searing at high temperatures or slow-cooking, the stable support system ensures your pots and pans remain secure.
Designed for seamless integration, the Vortex 460 fits into a standard 60cm cutout, making it an ideal upgrade for compact kitchens. With a comprehensive warranty covering the glass top and burners for five years, Hafele ensures that this investment in your kitchen remains a centerpiece of your home for years to come.
