Know before you buy
Yes, induction technology requires cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.
Yes, the bridge element allows you to combine two cooking zones into one, which is ideal for using large rectangular griddles or oversized cookware that spans across two burners.
Temp Cook uses sensors to maintain a precise, consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. It is designed to take the guesswork out of tasks like searing, simmering, or boiling by automatically adjusting power levels to hold your target heat.
The cooktop features a WipeClean coating designed to resist stuck-on messes and simplify maintenance. Because induction cooktops stay cooler than traditional electric or gas surfaces, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass, making cleanup much faster.
No, this model does not feature integrated downdraft ventilation. You will need to ensure your kitchen has a separate range hood or ventilation system installed above the cooktop.
Yes, this cooktop is equipped with smart features and is compatible with voice control systems, allowing you to monitor or adjust settings hands-free.
