Novy Undercover

    • The Novy Undercover is an invisible induction hob fully integrated into a 20 mm Dekton worktop. The induction coils beneath the worktop generate an inductive current in the base of the cookware, heating it. This is comparable to traditional induction hobs. You can place your cookware directly on the worktop to cook.

       

    • It is important to use cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or stainless steel. Pans with a round base and a diameter between 12 cm and 28 cm are most suitable for optimal performance. Thin, enamelled pans (like a pancake pan) are not recommended due to the risk of overheating. As a rule of thumb, any pan compatible with induction will also work with the Novy Undercover.

       

    • The Novy Undercover is equipped with the Novy Controller, a wireless control unit included as standard. Featuring both a tactile button and an intuitive touchscreen, it lets you effortlessly manage cooking zones, power levels, timers, and more—adapting seamlessly to your cooking style.

       

    • The centre points indicate where the centre of the cooking zone is located and where the cookware should be placed for optimal positioning.

    • The Novy Undercover is exclusively designed for use with a 20 mm thick Dekton worktop by Cosentino. This material is durable, scratch and heat-resistant, and easy to clean.

      You can choose from over 40 Dekton finishes: link.

       

    • No, using other materials or thicknesses is not recommended. The Novy Undercover has been specifically tested and approved for use with 20 mm Dekton worktops. Using other materials may negatively affect performance and safety. Additionally, the 5-year warranty will be void if other materials or thicknesses are used.

    • The Novy Undercover fits into a 120 cm wide base cabinet without a partition, with a net internal dimension of 1140-1240 mm. The worktop must be at least 1380 x 600 mm (WxD), including a 90 mm overhang on both sides.

    • Yes, the centrepoints protrude slightly (0.3mm) above the worktop. This design prevents water and dirt from seeping into the worktop.

       

    • No, additional cut-outs in the same Dekton piece are not allowed. However, such cut-outs can be made in a separate Dekton piece, which can then be seamlessly combined with the section containing the Novy Undercover.

    • The installation must be carried out by a professional kitchen installer. The electrical connection should be done by a certified electrician. The worktop is pre-fabricated to size by an approved stonemason.

    • The induction modules are mounted beneath the worktop using a fixing system attached to the side walls of the kitchen cabinet. Note that this is only possible in cabinets of 120 cm.

       

       

    • The Novy Undercover has subtle LED indicators on the worktop to signal whether a cooking zone is still hot. Additionally, residual heat is displayed on the Novy Controller, and an optional LED indication can project this information onto the kitchen floor for added safety.

    • Yes, the Novy Undercover is designed with multiple safety features, including a hob lock, automatic shut-off, overheating protection, and residual heat indicators. These features ensure a safe cooking experience, similar to traditional hobs.

       

    • Like all Novy appliances, the Novy Undercover comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty. You can extend this warranty to 5 years free of charge by registering your product via this link.


      Cosentino offers an extended manufacturer’s warranty of up to 25 years. For full details about this warranty, visit this link.

    • The Dekton worktop is scratch and stain-resistant and easy to clean with a damp cloth and mild cleaning agents. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to preserve the surface finish.

    • It is recommended to clean the worktop after each use to prevent the build-up of dirt and stains, thereby maintaining the worktop’s lifespan and appearance.

    • Over time, scratches may appear on the centre points due to daily use of the appliance. This is normal and caused by moving cookware over the centre points. Importantly, this does not impact the functionality of the appliance.
