A: No, and no. Personally, I’m disappointed with this cooktop. We replaced a GE induction from 2008, which was amazing, but the glass broke. But it looks pretty
Q: Can this unit be flush mount installed like the monogram?
A: Hey there, this is a great question and we're happy to help. If you intend to mount your cooktop flush to the counter, you can order kit number JXFLUSH1. The flush mount kit provides supplemental cut-out instructions to mount the product flush with the counter. We hope that helps and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@Cafe
A: Foam tape is applied around the underside of the edge prior to installation, and it does indeed create a gap. It's probably meant to releave pressure variance if the countertop isn't in a perfect plane. There are two problems, however, with this design: (1) The gap can indeed collect food/dirt and be hard to clean. Despite what the Cafe rep says, the foam tape doesn't compress and close the gap over time. (2) More importantly, the gap leaves the glass edge unsupported and vulnerable. I've only had this cooktop for about 6 months, and I am VERY careful with it. I use silicone pads if I set anything on it, I use silicone protection mats on the burners (highly recommended!), I don't set used pans on it, and I clean it carefully. Nonetheless, a corner has already chipped. I have no idea when or how that happened- a little piece just came off when I was wiping it down one day. It's really disappointing because my very expensive cooktop now has this sharp little chipped corner that's very noticeable. If I had known all this when I bought it, I would've flush-mounted it. Depending on how you go about that, you might still have a little gap that can collect crud. But at least the glass edges would be better protected.
Q: what are the sizes of each element?
A: Hi there, This is a great question! We're happy to give you the burner sizes. The Left front and rear are 7", the Right front is 11", and the Right rear is 6". We hope this information is helpful. Stay well. Mike@Cafe

A: Hey there - thanks for reaching out about this beautiful Café Induction Cooktop. This model does not have a multi-element timer option - it is just a kitchen timer. We are working to update this information on all our dealer partners’ websites and our apologies for any confusion this may have caused. -- For this model, the SmartHQ App is used for guided and/or precision control of the burners for guided/precision cooking. The cooktop can only pair one device at a time due to limited space in the memory. Also, you can only control one burner at a time via the app when using the Precision cooking via Hestan App/SmartHQ app. -- We hope this is helpful and if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out anytime. Warm regards. Lauren@Café
A: It works with any size pan. It's not really in the "right front," but rather in the middle (between front and back). It would have been much better if it was more toward the front, thus allowing the other burners to be less cramped. (Simply re-organizing the controls would've accommodated this.) The burner layout on the GE/Monogram/Cafe 30" induction cooktops is not ideal, as you can only use one larger pot or skillet at a time. (I.e., I can't boil pasta and corn-on-the-cob at the same time, let alone be making the pasta sauce in another large skillet.)
Q: Can this cooktop work on a two-pole 30 amp breaker? Thank you.
A: Hi, great question! We're so glad you're considering this Electric Induction Cooktop, and we'd love to provide you with an answer. We found that this 30" cooktop requires 40 amp service. We appreciate your interest in this appliance and we know it'll look amazing in your kitchen. Have a great day! -Sylvia@Cafe
