Flexible induction cooking with precise control
Powerful induction technology provides fast cooking and precise temperature control, making it suitable for everything from intricate recipes to gentle simmering. Heat is generated only when a pan is in direct contact with the selected cooking zone, helping to improve safety around children while optimising power consumption by heating the pan itself rather than the surrounding surface.
Induction cooking is faster than gas, taking only a little over a minute to boil a pint of water. As the hob surface does not become as hot as traditional cooking methods, splashes are less likely to burn onto the glass and can be easily wiped clean for a safe, user-friendly finish.
MultiZone flexibility for large cookware
The MultiZone function joins two contiguous cooking zones to create one large surface, making it perfect for oversized pans, griddles and large dishes. With three MultiZones available, the Smeg SIM3964N induction hob offers the flexibility needed for a wide range of cooking styles.
The grill function delivers even heat distribution and requires only two minutes of preheating, helping you achieve perfectly grilled results quickly.
Elegant Evo Slider controls
Evo Slider controls are backlit with refined white LEDs and remain visible only when in use. This sleek, intuitive design offers fast operation while maintaining a clean and uncluttered appearance once cooking is complete.
Autopot detection identifies where your pot has been placed and activates the appropriate zone instantly, providing effortless precision with every use.
Automatic hood connection
The hob and compatible hood connect via Bluetooth, allowing them to work in sync and adjust automatically as you cook. This Auto-Vent functionality helps create a more seamless and convenient cooking experience.
Timeless Smeg design
With its strict design form and simple, classic aesthetic, this Smeg induction hob is designed to suit both contemporary and traditional kitchen settings. The collection includes coordinating ovens, coffee machines, hobs, extractor hoods, dishwashers and wine coolers, finished in smart stainless steel with matching controls and handles.

Frequently Asked Questions About the SIM3964N
How many cooking zones does the Smeg SIM3964N have?
The Smeg SIM3964N has six induction cooking zones, giving you ample space for everyday cooking as well as larger multi-pan meals.
Can I use large pans, griddles or roasting dishes on the Smeg SIM3964N?
Yes. This model includes three MultiZone areas, allowing two adjoining zones to be combined into one larger cooking surface. This makes it a good choice for griddles, fish kettles, roasting dishes and oversized cookware.
Does the Smeg SIM3964N connect to an extractor hood?
Yes. The Smeg SIM3964N features Auto-Vent 2.0, which uses Bluetooth to connect with a compatible Smeg Auto-Vent 2.0 cooker hood. The hood can then adjust its extraction speed automatically as you cook.
Do I need a compatible Smeg hood to use Auto-Vent 2.0?
Yes. Auto-Vent 2.0 is designed to work with a compatible Smeg Auto-Vent 2.0 cooker hood. The hob can still be used normally without a connected hood.
What controls does the Smeg SIM3964N use?
The Smeg SIM3964N uses Evo Slider touch controls with white LED lighting. The controls are visible during use and designed to disappear into the surface when the hob is switched off.
How many power levels does the Smeg SIM3964N offer?
This induction hob provides nine power levels, along with booster settings for rapid heat when you need to bring pans up to temperature quickly.
Does the Smeg SIM3964N detect pans automatically?
Yes. Autopot Detection recognises the position of compatible cookware and activates the appropriate cooking area, helping to make pan placement and zone selection more straightforward.
Does the Smeg SIM3964N include a grill function?
Yes. The dedicated grill function is designed to provide even heat across the cooking surface and requires around two minutes of preheating, making it ideal for grilling meat, fish and vegetables on suitable cookware.
What type of cookware can I use with the Smeg SIM3964N induction hob?
You will need induction-compatible cookware with a magnetic base. Suitable options commonly include cast iron and many stainless-steel pans. Aluminium, copper and glass cookware will only work if they have a magnetic induction base.
Is the Smeg SIM3964N easy to clean?
Yes. Its smooth matte-black ceramic glass surface is simple to wipe down after cooking. As induction heats the pan rather than the surrounding hob surface, food splashes are less likely to bake onto the glass.
Can the Smeg SIM3964N be fitted flush with the worktop?
Yes. The Smeg SIM3964N is designed for either ultra-low-profile installation or a fully flush fit, allowing you to choose the finish that best suits your kitchen worktop.
What are the dimensions of the Smeg SIM3964N?
The Smeg SIM3964N measures 900 mm wide, 510 mm deep and 53 mm high. It is a 90 cm induction hob, so we would recommend checking your worktop cut-out and electrical installation requirements before ordering.
Are there any suitable alternatives to the Smeg SIM3964N 90cm Induction Auto-Vent Hob in Matte Black I could consider?
Yes, you could consider the Smeg SI2951D 90cm Induction Hob as a simpler and lower-priced same-brand alternative. It retains the 90cm black induction format and flush or surface-mount installation, but has five cooking zones rather than six and does not include the SIM3964N’s Auto-Vent functionality. Alternatively, the Smeg SIA1963D 6 Zone 90cm Induction Hob is a more premium 90cm black induction option, with six zones, flush or surface-mount installation, a VivoScreen Max display and flexible pan-position functionality.
