Know before you buy
Yes, induction cooktops require magnetic cookware. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.
The Flex Cooking Zone allows you to bridge two cooking elements together to create a larger surface area. This is ideal for oversized cookware like griddles or large roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a standard circular burner.
No, this model does not feature WiFi connectivity or smart home integration. It relies on a straightforward, manual touch-control interface.
Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface of the cooktop, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass. You can typically wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth once it has cooled.
While the unit is designed for built-in installation, it requires a hardwired electrical connection. We recommend professional installation to ensure the electrical requirements are met and the unit is properly secured in your countertop.
Induction offers significantly more precise control than gas, allowing for near-instant temperature adjustments. You can achieve a rapid boil in seconds or maintain a very low, consistent simmer without the risk of hot spots.
