Hello IKEA friends,
We are considering purchasing an IKEA HIN4T induction cooktop.
We noticed that the cooktops on display do not match the ones being sold. This means the cooktops in the showroom are still the old HB14 models with 6 kW power and different mounting, as well as a Schott Ceran label. The revision number is 3.1, which the salesperson only told us after we discovered it ourselves.
The HIN4T has different mounting and no longer has a label on the cooktop surface. The mountings have also been changed. Additionally, the unit now shows 7 kW power and a different revision number 1.0.
The cooktop makes quite a cracking noise on levels 1-5 on the booster zones. From level 6 upwards, there is no more cracking. It is often claimed that this noise is caused by the pots.
The kitchen advisor at IKEA Hanau recommended that we choose the HIN-F-4T, saying it is much quieter and of better quality.
We are curious about your experiences with these cooktops.
The HIN4T is offered for an amazing 299 euros.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
By the way, at the end of January, the HIN-F-4T including pots from the 365 series is supposedly being offered for 449 euros.

Nayla_10683 Jan 2012 23:19Hello Ikea friends 😀
We are thinking about getting an IKEA HIN4T induction cooktop. 😀
We noticed 😱 that the cooktops on display don’t match the ones being sold. That means the cooktops in the showroom are still the older HB14 models with 6 kW power and different mounting systems, as well as a Schott Ceran label. The revision number is 3.1, which the salesperson only told us after we figured it out ourselves.
The HIN4T has different mounting brackets and no longer has any label on the cooktop surface. Also, the mounting system has changed. Additionally, the new model is rated at 7 kW and has a revision number of 1.0.
But that doesn’t really matter if you get the new, “correct” cooktop. Usually, when models are updated, the devices in the showroom get replaced too, so Hanau probably will do that eventually... 😎
The cooktop now makes quite a lot of clicking noises at power levels 1–5 on the booster zones. From level 6 and up, there’s no clicking anymore. People always say that’s due to the cookware.
Hmm, who says that? There are so many theories...
The kitchen advisor at Ikea Hanau recommended that we should get the HIN-F-4T instead. They said it’s much quieter and of better quality.
I personally have the HIN4T and am very satisfied with it. I learned that basically the cooktops are the same, only the design and size differ, and that you don’t have the preset rings. Maybe the salesperson there has their own experience or customer feedback and can share things based on that.
We would be interested to hear about your experiences with these cooktops.
The HIN4T is offered at an incredible price of 299 euros (about 299 euros).
That’s right, a GREAT price! And it even comes with a 5-year warranty!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards
By the way, apparently at the end of January, the HIN-F-4T including cookware from the 365 Series will be offered for 449 euros (about 449 euros)—
Possibly a promotion only available in Hanau!F

We have had a Framtid HIN4S for about 10 months now –
This is the 4-zone cooktop with a width of 78 cm (31 inches). Once you’ve cooked with induction, there’s no going back.
Yes, you sometimes hear a popping sound, but you also hear the ventilation, the sizzle of the meat, and so on… If that bothers you, then maybe cooking over an open fire is better for you… ahem, that wood crackles too 😉
But seriously, it works great, everything cooks much faster, we’ve retired our electric kettle and bought a wonderful whistling kettle from Alessi. Water for tea has never boiled so quickly! It’s also much easier to keep clean than a traditional cooktop, as the areas around the pot don’t get very hot, so nothing burns even if, say, milk boils over.
Since we often use very large pans and pots with a diameter of 34 cm (13 inches), the large zone just about fits them, but it could be a bit wider sometimes. So if you have the space and budget, definitely go for the largest cooktop available.
Have fun cooking. fotokatze

After some research, I’d like to ask in the forum if you received a care instruction brochure from SCHOTT with your HIN4t induction cooktop that has the “Schott-CERAN” label when it was new.
According to SCHOTT, Schott glass is only used where the Schott name is printed. After all, it is a registered trademark.
Currently offered cooktops do not have this label or any information about a care brochure. This could suggest that the glass may not actually be Schott glass.
Best regards 😀

Some feedback again! 😀
As Ikea confirmed to me by email, the cooktops offered without the Schott-Ceran label are not made of Schott glass.
The supplier has changed, and the cooktops will be replaced in the coming days.
It’s unfortunate that customers have to find this out for themselves first. 😱
I don’t understand how users here can be so relaxed about this… because I want to buy the quality I see on display. Not lower quality in the workmanship or the thickness of the metal parts.
Best regards 😉

Hello Nayla!
We have had an FRAMTID HIN4S for over 10 months now.
This is the 4-zone cooktop with a width of 78 cm (31 inches). Once you’ve cooked with induction, there’s really no turning back.
Yes, occasionally you hear a clicking sound, but you also hear the extractor fan, the sizzle of the meat, and so on... If that bothers you, you should cook over an open fire instead... well, then you’ll hear the wood crackling 😉
But seriously, it works great, everything is much faster, and we’ve retired our electric kettle...
So if you have the space and budget, definitely go for the largest cooktop you can fit.
Enjoy cooking. fotokatzeHello,
thanks for the tip. We are also close to placing our order and have one more question:
Does the 78 cm (31 inches) FRAMTID HIN4S fit under a 60 cm (24 inches) base cabinet? On both sides of the cooktop there would be pull-out drawers with 3 drawers each. Unfortunately, an 80 cm (31.5 inches) base cabinet is not an option.
One more question:
What are the differences between the FRAMTID HIN4S, HIN4T & NUTID HIN4T models, apart from the size? They are all induction cooktops. In the kitchen planner and on Ikea.at, the product description shows no differences except for the total power rating (which is said to be 7000 W for the new HIN4T). 😕
And why are there both FRAMTID and NUTID series? Why don’t they all share the same name?
Regards,
Pappl
