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 triple-ring element allows you to adjust the heating area to match the size of your cookware. This ensures efficient energy use and consistent heat distribution for both small saucepans and large stockpots.
Yes, the integrated Home Connect feature allows you to monitor the status of your cooktop and receive notifications directly on your smartphone, providing peace of mind while you are away from the kitchen.
The frameless ceramic glass surface is designed for easy cleaning. Since the surface itself does not get as hot as traditional electric cooktops, spills are less likely to bake on, allowing you to wipe them away easily once the surface cools.
This model includes a child safety lock that prevents the cooktop from being accidentally turned on. Additionally, the pan detection feature ensures that the heating element only activates when compatible cookware is placed on the zone.
This unit requires a 240-volt power source and a 40-amp circuit. Because it is a high-powered appliance with a total wattage of 9600 watts, professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.
