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 surface.
The Triple Ring Zone features three concentric heating rings that automatically adjust to the size of your cookware. This ensures that heat is applied only where the pan touches the surface, improving energy efficiency and cooking consistency.
Yes, the cooktop is Wi-Fi enabled and integrates with the Home Connect app. This allows you to monitor your cooktop's status and receive notifications directly on your mobile device.
PanBoost provides a rapid burst of high heat for quick searing, while CookSmart uses sensors to maintain precise temperatures for specific cooking tasks. These features help prevent burning and ensure consistent results for delicate recipes.
The ceramic glass surface is smooth and flat, making it very easy to wipe down after use. Because induction technology heats the cookware rather than the surface itself, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass.
Yes, this unit requires a 208-240 volt connection and a 50-amp circuit. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure your kitchen meets these power requirements before installation.
