Know before you buy
SmartZone allows you to bridge two separate cooking zones into one large area. This is ideal for accommodating oversized cookware like griddles or roasting pans, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire surface.
The surface is designed for easy maintenance. Because induction technology only heats the cookware and not the glass itself, spills are less likely to bake onto the surface, allowing you to simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
Induction is significantly more responsive than traditional cooktops. It provides near-instant temperature adjustments, allowing you to go from a rapid boil to a gentle simmer immediately, giving you precise control over your cooking.
Yes, induction cooktops require magnetic-based cookware. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it is compatible with this cooktop.
The unit is designed for a built-in installation. While it features a sleek, low-profile design, you should consult the specific installation manual and your countertop fabricator to determine if a flush-mount installation is supported by your cabinetry.
The cooktop features a straightforward, touch-based interface designed for ease of use. It provides clear, direct control over heat levels and zone management without unnecessary complexity.
