It has a black-glass finish, four cooking zones, nine heat settings plus Boost, touch controls, and child-lock and warning indicators.

Haier’s New Zealand product page displays a customer rating of 3.2 out of 5, but the page text available for this review does not show how many reviews the score represents. It is therefore not enough to establish a representative customer consensus, and it does not explain why customers gave those ratings.
What size cutout does the HCI604TB3 need?
Haier lists the cooktop at 590 mm wide, 520 mm deep and 60 mm high. Its specified bench cutout is 562 mm wide by 492 mm deep. The appliance dimensions describe the unit itself; the cutout dimensions describe the opening it is intended to fit.
