Quality glass ceramics

The manufacturer of the glass-ceramic surface is indicated on the far right corner of the Whirlpool hob. This is a reputable Schott Ceran company that has a good reputation in the market. Its products are distinguished by increased reliability and surpass noname glass ceramics in key performance properties.

In front of the Whirlpool WBB 3960 BF is a fairly large touch control panel. It is characterized by an abundance of buttons and indicators, but overall it is quite simple and intuitive. Plus, there is protection from children, with which you can not worry about the pranks of the kids.

Burners for various dishes

On the left side of the hob are the smallest and largest heating zones: front and rear, respectively. On the right side there are two burners of medium diameter and power. Automatic adjustment of the heaters to the size of the dishes (autofocus) has also been implemented, so it will be convenient to work with various utensils (provided that it has ferromagnetic properties required for induction models).

Thanks to the "bridge" mode, the two right heating zones can be easily combined into one large Connexion Zone. It is suitable for large oblong utensils. The usual choice of power from 9 levels is complemented by the Boost function. It is recommended to be used to quickly boil water or heat liquids.

6th sense automation

Chip Whirlpool WBB 3960 BF is the support for special cooking programs. In them, automation itself sets the optimal parameters. In total, 4 automatic programs are available: melt (for chocolate and other delicate products), keep warm, boil (automatic boiling) and slow boil (suitable for cooking roasts, sauces, pilaf).

In addition, the user has the right to set limits for energy consumption. The Power Management function allows you to reduce the maximum 7.2 kW to 6, 4 or 2.5 kW.

Among the shortcomings, some users distinguish high noise during operation (including when only one burner is turned on). Otherwise, the Whirlpool WBB 3960 BF is an interesting choice for those looking for a panel with automatic modes.
