Induction cooking generates heat directly within your cookware, leading to faster heating, less energy waste, and a safer cooking surface. The cooktop surface itself does not heat up directly, only from residual heat transferred from the cookware.

4.2. Cookware Compatibility

Only induction-compatible cookware will work on this cooktop. This includes cast iron, enameled cast iron, and many types of stainless steel. To check compatibility, place a magnet on the bottom of your pot or pan; if it sticks, the cookware is compatible.

4.3. Cooking Zones and Controls

The cooktop features four cooking zones:

• Two large 8 1/4-inch elements (2000W)
• Two 6 1/4-inch elements (1500W)

All cooking zones include a "boost" function for higher power settings, ideal for rapidly boiling water.
