At a glance
This 80cm ASKO Series 5 induction cooktop is a premium option for households that want four zones with more bench space for larger cookware and busy meal prep. Key strengths include auto bridge cooking, 12 power levels, boost mode, preset cooking functions and app connectivity. A fair limitation is that it offers four zones rather than the extra capacity found on larger five-zone premium cooktops.

Things to consider
While it offers generous 80cm spacing and useful smart features, it still has four cooking zones, so larger households or entertainers may prefer a wider cooktop with five or more zones.
Family cooking suitability
Well suited to small-to-medium families thanks to four zones, wider 80cm spacing and flexible bridge cooking for larger cookware.
Energy efficiency score
8/10 - induction heating is generally energy-conscious because it transfers heat directly to compatible cookware, reducing wasted heat compared with traditional electric cooking.
Cookware compatibility assessment
Best with induction-compatible cookware; the auto bridge zone is especially useful for larger pans and wider cooking vessels.
Safety rating
8/10 - residual heat indication supports safer everyday use, though more advanced safety features are not listed here.
Ease of cleaning
9/10 - the flat ceramic glass surface is easy to wipe down and has no raised burners or pan supports to clean around.
Key benefits
- 80cm Cooking Surface: Gives you more space between pans than compact cooktops, making it easier to cook multiple dishes at once.
- 4 Induction Zones: Supports everyday multitasking for boiling, frying, simmering and warming across four separate cooking areas.
- Auto Bridge Zone: Adapts to wider cookware so you can heat larger pans and griddles more evenly.
- 12 Power Levels: Gives you finer heat control for tasks like gentle melting, steady simmering and high-heat searing.
- Boost Function: Delivers a fast burst of extra heat when you need to boil water or heat pans quickly.
- PLUS Menu Presets: Simplifies common cooking tasks with dedicated modes for melting, warming, simmering and boiling.
- Multi Timer: Helps manage several dishes at once by letting you time different cooking zones separately.
- WiFi with ConnectLife App: Lets you monitor and control the cooktop remotely for added day-to-day convenience.
Q: Can this cooktop use existing non-induction pots and pans?
A: No. ASKO HI5842FBG1 works with induction-ready cookware only. Aluminium or copper pans need an induction-compatible base, so older non-magnetic cookware will not heat properly on this cooktop.
Q: Does the auto bridge zone suit a large griddle pan?
A: Yes. The auto bridge function links zones to suit wider cookware such as a griddle or fish pan. The pan still needs an induction-compatible base, and it works best when the base covers the bridged area sensibly.
Q: What does the 80cm width change in everyday cooking?
A: ASKO HI5842FBG1 gives the 4 zones more room across the cooktop, so larger pots and pans can sit with better separation. That is useful when cooking several dishes at once, but it does not add extra zones beyond the 4 provided.
Q: Can ConnectLife control the cooktop when you are not nearby?
A: Yes. ASKO HI5842FBG1 supports remote control and monitoring through the ConnectLife app. App use depends on WiFi setup and pairing, so core cooking control at the cooktop itself still matters for day-to-day use.
Q: Is Hob to Hood available on this ASKO cooktop?
A: Yes. This cooktop supports Hob to Hood connectivity, which can link operation with a compatible rangehood. It is not a universal feature across all rangehoods, so compatibility matters if that automation is part of your plan.
Q: Can it be installed flush with the benchtop surface?
A: Yes. This model supports either flush or top installation, which gives more flexibility for different kitchen finishes. Flush fitting needs a benchtop cut-out and edge finish that suit that method, so discuss the layout with your electrician.
