Great back to basic hotplate
A very good and fuss free hotplate. Does the job it needs to do without bells and whistles. Only scored 4 stars as it marks easy, howevere, marks removed with Jiff.

Looks and cooks great
The best features I like are: immediately when you turn on a plate it lights up in red so you know which plate is on at a glance, then when reaches a certain temperature the hot plate light goes off and the small area at the front shows which one is on

Q: Will this fit a standard 60cm cooktop cutout?
A: In many 60cm kitchens, yes. The cooktop is 606mm wide and suits a 560mm cut-out width, but benchtop depth and existing wiring still need to match, so discuss the final fit with your electrician.
Q: Can the dual zone handle both small and larger pans?
A: Yes. The dual variable zone is designed to suit different pan sizes, so one zone can work for everyday saucepans or larger cookware when needed. It adds flexibility, but it does not create an extra cooking zone.
Q: Does this Westinghouse cooktop need professional electrical installation?
A: Yes. WHC642SC must be installed by a licensed electrician because it is a built-in electric cooktop, not a plug-in benchtop appliance. Confirm the cavity size and electrical connection before replacing an older cooktop.
Q: Is the stainless steel trim removable for cleaning?
A: No. The stainless steel trim on this model is fixed rather than removable, so cleaning is done around the edge instead of taking the trim off. The ceramic surface itself is flat and straightforward to wipe down after use.
Q: Does the hot surface warning stay on after cooking?
A: Yes. WHC642SC has a residual heat indicator that stays visible while a zone is still cooling down after cooking. It is a heat warning, not a sign that the cooktop is still actively heating that zone.
Q: Can I use cast iron on this ceramic cooktop?
A: Yes, if the cookware has a flat, smooth base. Rough or uneven cast iron can mark the ceramic glass, and sliding heavy pans across the surface is more likely to scratch it than lifting them on and off.
