At a glance
The Chef 60cm 4 Zone Ceramic Cooktop is a straightforward electric cooktop designed for everyday households that want simple controls and a familiar 60cm fit. It offers four zones, six power levels and a 2.3kW zone for higher-heat cooking, plus an easy-clean black glass surface. It suits standard kitchens well, but it lacks the faster response and advanced features found on more premium cooktops.

Things to consider
Compared with premium ceramic or induction cooktops, this model offers simpler controls and fewer advanced features, with slower heat response than induction alternatives.
Family cooking suitability
7/10 - four zones make it practical for everyday family meals, though it is a straightforward model without flexible cooking areas.
Easy cleaning score
8/10 - the smooth black ceramic glass surface is simple to wipe down after cooking.
Kitchen integration fit
Best suited to standard 60cm kitchen installations with a 560mm x 490mm cut-out.
Safety rating
7/10 - hot surface indicators add useful day-to-day safety, though it does not offer the broader safety features seen on some higher-end models.
Key benefits
- 4 cooking zones: Lets you cook multiple dishes at once for everyday meal prep.
- 2.3kW powerful zone: Provides stronger heat for tasks like boiling water or searing in a frypan.
- 6 power levels: Gives simple control from gentle simmering to higher-heat cooking.
- Knob controls: Keeps heat adjustment familiar and easy to use.
- Black ceramic glass surface: Wipes clean easily after everyday cooking.
- Hot surface indicator: Helps show when the surface is still hot after cooking.
- 60cm width: Suits common kitchen bench cut-outs for easier replacement or renovation planning.
- Hardwired 6.5kW connection: Supports full cooktop operation across four zones for regular household use.
Q: Will this cooktop fit a standard 60cm benchtop cut-out?
A: Yes, in many standard replacements. The cooktop is 590mm wide and suits a 560mm by 490mm cut-out. That makes it a practical swap for many older 60cm electric or ceramic cooktops, if the cavity matches.
Q: Does the Chef CHC6402BD need to be hardwired by an electrician?
A: Yes. Chef CHC6402BD has a 6.5kW connected load and uses a hardwired electrical connection, not a standard plug. If you are replacing a different style of cooktop, discuss the circuit and connection method with your electrician.
Q: Can I use normal pots and pans on this ceramic cooktop?
A: Yes, most standard cookware works if the base sits flat on the ceramic surface. It does not need magnetic cookware, but warped or rough-bottomed pans can heat less evenly and may leave the black glass harder to wipe clean.
Q: Are the controls on the front or the side?
A: The controls are on the right-hand side and use black knobs rather than touch controls. That suits buyers who want a familiar, direct feel, but it also means part of the cooktop edge is dedicated to controls instead of cooking space.
Q: How do the hot surface indicators help after cooking?
A: The cooktop has residual heat indicators that show when a zone is still hot after it is switched off. That matters on a ceramic surface, which can stay warm for a while, especially if you plan to wipe the glass soon after cooking.
