LG - 30-in Wide Built-In Electric Induction Smart Cooktop with 4 Elements and UltraHeat 5.0kW Element - Black Ceramic

Hi there! Thank you for your question about the LG induction model CBIH3017BE. We understand you're curious about using an induction-compatible griddle over the two square elements. Yes, you can use an induction-compatible griddle over both square elements simultaneously. While the model doesn’t have a dedicated bridge feature, the induction technology allows for efficient heating across the entire surface of the griddle as long as it’s compatible with induction cooking. Just ensure that the griddle covers both elements adequately for even heating.

The "square units" that you are referring to on the Energy Star® Certified LG 30" Built-In Electric Induction Smart Cooktop with 4 Elements and UltraHeat™ 5.0kW Element - Black Ceramic, Model # CBIH3017BE, are what is referred to as the Flexible Cooking Zone that lets you combine the two Single Cooking Zone elements to heat larger cookware. Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. The dimensions for the Single Cooking Zones are 8 1/2" x 7 1/4" (216.2 x 185 mm), and for the Flexible Cooking Zone, the minimum cookware size is 4 3/4" x 10 5/8" (120 mm x 270 mm). Your cookware must be centered correctly on surface of, Flexible Cooking Zone, it must have a flat bottom and straight sides, and the pan size must meet or exceed the recommended minimum size for the cooking element. The cooktop has a Cookware Compatibility Indicator, which is a feature that helps users determine the compatibility of their cookware with the cooktop's elements.

This indicator is particularly useful for selecting the right cookware for induction cooking, ensuring that the cooktop can heat the cookware directly without heating the cooktop surface. The indicator is designed to be user-friendly, allowing for quick and easy assessment of cookware compatibility...^Ivan.
