Know before you buy
Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work perfectly on this unit.
SpeedBoost temporarily redirects power from other elements to a single zone, allowing you to boil water or heat liquids significantly faster than standard settings. It is ideal for tasks like boiling a large pot of pasta water.
Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface of the cooktop, spills are much less likely to bake or burn onto the glass. You can typically wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth once the pan is removed.
This cooktop requires a 240-volt power supply and a 30-amp circuit. Because it is a high-wattage appliance, it must be hardwired by a professional electrician to ensure it meets local building codes.
Yes, it includes an integrated child lock that prevents the cooktop from being accidentally turned on. Additionally, the pan detection feature ensures that the element will not activate unless a compatible piece of cookware is placed on the zone.
Yes, you can use all five zones simultaneously. However, the total power draw is managed by the unit, so if you are using multiple high-power settings at once, the cooktop will intelligently distribute the 9600 watts of power across the active elements.
