The hob has four induction zones rated 1200, 1500, 1600 and 2000 W. The different ratings let you pick the right spot for each pan: a smaller zone suits a saucepan or a coffee pot, the most powerful one a large soup pot or frying pan. Induction heats a pan with a magnetic base directly, so the hob responds to setting changes immediately and the surface around the pan stays cooler.
PowerBoost gives the selected zone extra power for a short time, so water for pasta or potatoes boils faster. Pan detection recognises whether a suitable pan is on the zone, and when the pan is lifted off, the zone stops heating. This saves electricity and reduces the risk of an empty zone being left on by accident.
The child lock locks the touch panel so that small children cannot switch the hob on or change the settings. Automatic switch-off turns a zone off when it has been running for too long without any change, which is good protection if the hob is forgotten. The timer switches a zone off after the set time, so food does not boil over or burn.
The hob is frameless, so the glass sits on the worktop without a metal edge where dirt could collect. The manufacturer describes it as easy to clean: the smooth glass wipes clean with a damp cloth, and because an induction surface does not get as hot, spills do not burn on. The white finish suits a light kitchen and matches white appliances.
The hob measures 59.5 × 52 cm with a height of 5.4 cm and weighs 7.6 kg. These are the dimensions of a standard 60 cm hob, so it fits most standard worktops. The touch controls and display sit at the front edge. The exact cut-out size and ventilation gaps are given in the manufacturer installation manual.
The Gorenje GI6401WSC suits a light kitchen that needs a standard-size four-zone induction hob with a white frameless surface. Zones of different power, PowerBoost and the timer speed up everyday cooking, while the child lock and automatic switch-off add peace of mind for a family with children.

The manufacturer does not give the total connection power; it lists the zone ratings of 1200 / 1500 / 1600 / 2000 W and a 220–240 V supply. Have an electrician check that the cable and fuse are suitable.
Pans with a magnetic base work, such as cast iron, enamelled steel and stainless steel marked for induction. If a magnet sticks to the base, the pan will work.
Yes. According to the manufacturer it has a child lock and automatic switch-off, which turns a zone off if it runs unattended for a long time.
There is no metal frame around the glass, so the edge of the hob is smooth. It looks more seamless on the worktop and is easier to clean around the edges.
