Features

Wi-Fi Enabled for convenient remote monitoring
Wi-Fi Enabled cooktop allows for convenient remote monitoring with access to cooktop programs and settings via the Home Connect app.

Select your ideal temperature
The precise temperature selection results in consistent, perfect results whether you’re searing a steak, grilling salmon or veggies, or delicately melting chocolate.

17 Levels of Power
17 different power levels that are designed for your cooking needs. Each one features a different heat level, anywhere from a simmer to a boil.

Boil water quickly with SpeedBoost®
Adds a boost of power to your burner so you can boil a pot of water faster or heat a pan up quickly to get ready for searing.

Regulate your cooking temperature
The AutoChef® setting automatically regulates the cooking temperature and adjusts it as needed, so you get perfect results without the work of adjusting the heat level.

The cooktop that makes space for more.
FlexInduction® lets you combine two cooking zones into one for larger cookware. This allows you to accommodate pots and pans up to 9 inches wide and 15 inches long. Induction cooking directly heats your pots and pans instead of the cooktop itself for faster, more efficient cooking. So, you have a cooktop that delivers precise results with effortless ease.

Adjust the heat with just a simple slide.
Dishes like risotto require different heat settings at different stages. With PowerMove®'s 3 preset power levels, simply slide your pan across to change the heat level. Once activated by a push of a button, you no longer need to adjust the cooktop temperature: PowerMove® is divided into two separate areas with pre-set power levels. So, you can quickly heat or sauté your dish on level 9 and then quickly slide the pan to level one to simmer or keep warm.

Countdown Timer
Allows you to cook with ease of mind, knowing your cooktop will turn itself off at the end of the allotted time.
