Customers consistently celebrate this cooktop's exceptional speed and precise temperature control, transforming cooking tasks. The sleek black glass design elevates kitchen aesthetics while simplifying cleanup significantly. Performance is a major highlight, with instant boiling and effortless simmering noted across various heat levels, including excellent support for larger cookware via the bridge element. While Wi-Fi connectivity adds smart monitoring capabilities, some users find the initial setup slightly complex.

Know before you buy
Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware to function. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work perfectly on this surface.
Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to monitor your cooktop remotely via the SmartHQ app and receive software updates. It also enables Guided Cooking, which provides step-by-step instructions for specific recipes directly through the app.
No, this model does not feature a bridge element. However, it offers five distinct heating elements that provide flexible placement for various pot and pan sizes.
Because induction technology heats the cookware rather than the surface itself, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass. You can typically clean the surface easily with a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic cooktop cleaner once the area has cooled.
The GE Fit Guarantee ensures that your new 36-inch cooktop will fit into an existing countertop cutout of the same width. If the dimensions do not match, GE will provide a reimbursement for the cost of professional modifications to your countertop.
Yes, the cooktop includes a Control Lock feature that prevents accidental activation of the burners. This is a standard safety measure that ensures the touch controls remain unresponsive until you manually unlock them.
