Frigidaire - Professional 36 in.Wide 5 Elements Built-In Electric Induction Cooktop - Stainless Steel

Hi Bill! The Frigidaire PCCI3680AF induction cooktop requires a 240-volt, 30-amp dedicated circuit for proper operation. - Reed

Hi Mupet! Thank you for reaching out. Yes, the Frigidaire Professional 36" Induction Cooktop (model PCCI3680AF) requires a hardwired electrical connection. It does not come with a standard power cord and plug attached. We hope this helps! - Patrick

Hi there, Frank! Each induction zone must detect proper cookware (magnetic, flat-bottomed, centered, within the minimum/maximum size rings) before it will activate. If the pan is too small, the zone will not engage and will flash or shut off. The cooktop does not automatically shrink the heating area to match a smaller pan; the pan must be big enough to meet the sensor’s minimum requirement for that zone. The manual shows clearly that if the cookware does not meet the minimum pan size indicated by the inner ring for a given zone, the cooktop will not heat that zone; it simply won’t recognize the pan correctly. The induction system detects cookware presence and material, and will automatically turn a zone off if it doesn’t detect an appropriate pan or if the pan is removed. It does not constantly adjust power or “auto-size” a larger coil to a smaller pan beyond recognizing whether the pan is valid. - It senses if a pan is present and magnetic — zone runs. - It does not automatically scale the active heating area down inside a larger zone simply because a smaller pan is used — if the pan is too small, the zone will just refuse to heat until a suitably sized pan is used. - Maico

Yes, it has a convenient bridge element that connects two elements for simultaneous control, ideal for griddles.

Frigidaire promises that this 36" cooktop will fit your existing cutout of the same width and configuration, or they will reimburse cabinet modification costs up to $100.
