We can, and we deliver it to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe LAM1840 is a frameless black induction hob with four zones, fourteen power levels and a power boost. It is designed to sit flush, and the controls are on the right hand side rather than the front, which keeps the glass clear across the width. Pan detection, a residual heat indicator, a hob-on indicator, a child lock and an automatic safety shut-off are all built in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe zones are deliberately different sizes. From the Howdens manual: left front 2300W rising to 3700W on boost for 180 to 210mm pans; left rear 1800W rising to 2800W for 145 to 180mm pans; right front 1400W rising to 2500W for 125 to 145mm pans; and right rear 2300W rising to 3200W, taking anything from 145mm up to 265mm, which is the zone for an oval dish or a large casserole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order, four things to check\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIt needs a dedicated 32A circuit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximum input is 7200W at 220 to 240V and it is \u003cstrong\u003ehard wired\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a 1.5m lead and no plug fitted. This is not a 13A socket appliance. Budget for an electrician and a new circuit unless you are replacing a like-for-like induction hob.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe worktop cut-out is 560mm wide by 490mm deep, and the hob itself is 580mm wide, not the usual 595mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e That leaves only about 10mm of glass overlapping the worktop on each side. If you are replacing an older 595mm hob and the existing aperture is worn, oversized or chipped at the edge, the smaller glass may not cover it. Measure before you order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum worktop thickness is 28mm.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is thicker than many laminate worktops, which are commonly 22 to 25mm. Howdens publish no maximum. If your worktop is under 28mm this hob will not fit it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlush fitting needs a routed rebate, and Howdens do not publish the rebate dimensions.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 560 x 490mm figure above is the standard drop-in aperture. For a genuinely flush installation your worktop fabricator will need to set out the rebate, and neither the product page nor the manual gives a figure for it. Contact us and we will chase it from Howdens before you commit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCook\u0026amp;Connect.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens badge this hob's infrared feature Cook\u0026amp;Connect and describe it only as allowing seamless control. The Howdens manual documents the same feature under the name Hob2Hood: the hob and a compatible extractor each carry an infrared communicator, and the hob then sets the hood's fan speed and lighting automatically, with modes for boiling and for frying. \u003cstrong\u003eNeither the product page nor the manual names a single compatible extractor\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we will not guess at one. If pairing it to a hood matters to you, ask us and we will confirm the compatible model with Howdens first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eReproduced as published by Howdens.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Number: LAM1840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel Type: Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectric Hob Type: Induction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour Description: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl Type: Touch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation of Control Panel: Right Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay Type: LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplay Colour: Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmperage Required: 32A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Input Power: 7200W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Voltage Supply: 220 - 240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical Supply Frequency: 50-60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Burners or Zones: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Power Levels: 14\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurner\/Zone Power Range: 1.4 to 3.7kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Boost: Power Boost Function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePan Detection: Pan Detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting Feature: Flush Fitting Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting Feature: Frameless Hob\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated Extractor: Without Extractor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Feature: Hob on Indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Feature: Residual Heat Indicator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Feature: Automatic Safety Shut Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafety Feature: Childlock Facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTimer: Timer Facility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnectivity: Infrared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart Compatibility: Cook\u0026amp;Connect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied With: User Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual notes that each phase has a maximum loading of 3700W, and that if the hob reaches that limit the power of the cooking zones is reduced automatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 580mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepth: 510mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 49mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (Without Packaging): 11.006kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutout Size Width: 560mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutout Size Depth: 490mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimum Worktop Thickness: 28mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClearance Rear: 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront clearance: not published by Howdens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring Requirement: Hard Wired\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains Lead Length: 1.5m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectrical installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician on a dedicated 32A circuit with an all-pole isolator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccreditations: CE Marked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprovals: RoHS, UL (EU), EMC, DEMKO, WEEE, LVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAwards and Endorsements: 5 Star Reliability November 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSend us your worktop thickness and existing aperture size and we will tell you whether this hob drops in before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Howdens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56867357950338,"sku":"LAM1840","price":379.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0038\/9608\/2532\/files\/ass_25663447.jpg?v=1787584630","url":"https:\/\/www.welovekitchens.co.uk\/products\/lamona-lam1840-60cm-black-electric-induction-hob","provider":"We Love Kitchens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
