Know before you buy
The triple zone element allows you to adjust the heating area to match the size of your cookware. This ensures that heat is applied efficiently to the base of the pan, whether you are using a small saucepan or a large stockpot.
Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, you must use magnetic cookware. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this surface.
Speed Heating allows the cooktop to reach high temperatures almost instantly. This significantly reduces the time required to boil water or sear proteins compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops.
The ceramic glass surface is generally easy to wipe down, but the mirrored finish may show fingerprints or smudges more readily than a matte black surface. Using a dedicated glass cooktop cleaner and a soft cloth will keep it looking pristine.
While the cooktop is marketed as 36 inches, the actual width is 37 inches. You should verify your countertop cutout dimensions against the 37-inch width and 21 1/4-inch depth specifications before installation.
The touch control panel is designed for precision, but like most capacitive touch interfaces, it performs best when the surface is dry. If you have significant water on the controls, simply wipe them dry to ensure optimal responsiveness.
