Häfele Vortex 490 Built-In Gas Hob 90cm

The Vortex 490 is a bold, performance-focused 90 cm built-in gas hob from Häfele, featuring the signature Vortex flame design that concentrates heat precisely onto the cooking vessel for faster, more energy-efficient cooking. Its glass surface, premium materials, and distinctive gun-metal finish knobs give it a sophisticated, high-end kitchen presence.

Performance & Safety

Four heating zones with a total power of 5,000 W cover every cooking need, from rapid boiling to gentle simmering. Electric auto ignition lights all burners reliably, and the built-in flame failure safety device (FFSD) cuts gas automatically if a flame is extinguished. Bullet jets — part of the Vortex flame system — channel gas flow to produce the characteristic concentrated, high-efficiency flame pattern. Cast iron pan supports with heat protectors keep heavy cookware stable and protect the glass surface.

Build & Maintenance

A spill-resistant silicone seal around each burner zone prevents liquid overflows from seeping beneath the glass panel, protecting the internal components and keeping the hob clean. The bevelled edge glass panel with front-positioned knob controls makes the Vortex 490 easy to operate and wipe clean. Dimensions are 900 mm wide, 520 mm deep, and 115 mm high. Backed by Häfele's five-year manufacturer's guarantee.
