  • Assisted Cooking Modes for Boil, Fry and Grill

    Sensor monitoring automatically sets the ideal heat, alerts you when to add ingredients and maintains constant temperature while food cooks. *

  • Power Boost Function

    Power Boost sets the highest heat to help you get to a rapid boil

  • Touch-Activated Controls

    Touch-Activated Controls are simple to use and easy to clean

  • Pan Size Detection

    Pan Size Detection adapts heat to pan size and placement

  • Control Lock

    Great product, odd dimensions

    Works great, but the dimensions for the cut out are odd? Had to deal with a lot of back and forth to get it to fit, but the end product is great.

    So Far So Good

    This is my 1st cooktop. So far it has been easy to use. Makes clicking noise at 1st with magnets so was not sure if something was wrong or not. Boils water super fast. Still learning.
