Know before you buy
Yes, induction technology requires cookware with a magnetic base. You can test your pots and pans by checking if a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom; if it does, it will work with this unit.
The DI-1800 requires a precise cutout in your countertop to sit flush. We recommend consulting the included installation manual for exact dimensions before cutting your surface, as the unit needs adequate clearance for ventilation underneath.
The control panel is tethered to the main unit, so it must be placed within the reach of the provided cable. It is designed to be mounted nearby on your counter or cabinetry for a clean, minimalist look.
Yes, 1800W is the standard maximum for a 120V induction burner and provides plenty of power for rapid boiling and high-heat searing. The nine power levels allow you to dial back the intensity for delicate tasks like simmering or melting chocolate.
The unit includes an automatic shut-off feature that triggers after two hours of inactivity. This is a standard safety measure to prevent overheating and energy waste if you forget to power it down.
