9/10 - the smooth glass ceramic surface and touch controls are straightforward to wipe down.

Strong fit for standard 60cm kitchen layouts and replacement or renovation installs needing a modern flush-look ceramic cooktop.
Safety rating
8/10 - child lock and residual heat indicators add useful peace of mind for daily household use.
Key benefits
- Four Cooking Zones: Lets you prepare multiple dishes at once for everyday meals and busier cooking sessions.
- Triple Variable Zone: Adapts to different cookware sizes so you can better match heat to small pans or larger pots.
- Touch Controls: Makes power selection simple and gives the cooktop a streamlined, easy-to-wipe surface.
- Nine Power Levels: Gives you more precise control for simmering, heating and higher-temperature cooking.
- 99-Minute Timer: Helps manage cooking times for individual dishes without relying on a separate timer.
- Pause Function: Lets you temporarily lower cooking activity, which is useful when interruptions happen during meal prep.
- Residual Heat Indicators: Provides a clear visual warning when zones are still hot after cooking.
- 60cm Format: Fits common kitchen layouts and suits many replacement or renovation projects.
Q: Does the Westinghouse WHC643BE need induction-compatible cookware?
A: No. The WHC643BE is a ceramic cooktop, so it does not require induction-compatible pans. Flat-based cookware is the better match for even contact on the glass surface, while warped or uneven bases can reduce heating performance.
Q: Can the triple zone on the WHC643BE suit both small and large pans?
A: Yes. This cooktop includes a triple variable zone that can be adjusted to three sizes, so it can better match smaller saucepans or larger pots. That flexibility helps avoid heating excess glass outside the cookware base.
Q: Will Hob2Hood work with any rangehood on this Westinghouse cooktop?
A: No. Hob2Hood only works with compatible rangehoods that support the same feature. When matched correctly, the rangehood can turn on and adjust fan speed automatically as the cooktop is used, but standard rangehoods will not do this.
Q: Is the Westinghouse WHC643BE a good fit for a standard 60cm cooktop space?
A: It is designed as a 60cm cooktop and the product measures 590mm wide, 520mm deep and 51mm high. Bench cut-out sizes can vary by kitchen and replacement job, so compare the exact cavity measurements before purchase and discuss with your electrician.
Q: Does the WHC643BE use touch controls or physical knobs?
A: It uses touch controls on the glass surface rather than raised knobs. That gives a flatter finish that is easier to wipe down, but it also means settings are adjusted from the front control panel instead of with mechanical dials.
