EHE 688W, EHE 688 B specifications

The Electrolux EHE 688 B and EHE 688 W are top-of-the-line electric hobs designed for modern kitchens, offering both functionality and style. These models cater to cooking enthusiasts who demand precision and flexibility in their culinary endeavors.

One of the standout features of the EHE 688 series is its touch control panel, which adds a sleek, contemporary look and allows for easy operation.

Safety is paramount in these models, featuring built-in functions such as the residual heat indicator that warns users when the surface is still hot, and an automatic shut-off feature that activates when a heating zone is left on unattended. The child lock function adds an extra layer of safety, preventing accidental activation by little hands.
