The JennAirJICT736SB induction cooktop is designed for cooks who want professional-level precision wrapped in a sleek, minimalist centerpiece for the kitchen. At a generous 36-inch width, this Oblivion black glass surface virtually disappears into the countertop, creating a seamless, modern look while still offering five powerful induction elements ready for everything from delicate sauces to high-heat searing. What truly sets this model apart is its innovative Temperature‑Controlled Cooking technology, which lets you select and automatically maintain an exact temperature rather than just a power level. Sensors continuously monitor the pan and adjust output between roughly 120°F and 400°F, helping you achieve consistent results for tasks like melting chocolate, holding a gentle simmer, or pan‑frying without scorching.
Another standout advantage of the JICT736SB is its Flex‑Choice™ Zones, which use rectangular induction elements that deliver even, edge‑to‑edge heat. Unlike traditional round bridge elements, these zones can function independently at different settings for smaller cookware or be combined into one expansive heating surface that’s ideal for griddles, grill pans, and oversized roasting pans. This flexibility makes it easy to move from weekday meals to large‑format entertaining without sacrificing control. For those who value speed, the integrated Performance Boost function temporarily pushes power beyond the highest standard setting on up to three zones at once, allowing water to reach a boil significantly faster than on a conventional electric cooktop and delivering the intense heat needed for quick sears and stir‑fries.
Smart connectivity further elevates the experience. This cooktop is a Smart Cooktop with Guided Recipes, pairing with the JennAir® app to offer step‑by‑step cooking guidance, automatic temperature and time adjustments, and remote monitoring, while Voice Control compatibility with select virtual assistants lets you adjust modes and heat levels hands‑free. Safety and ease of use are built in through automatic pan detection, auto shut‑off if a zone is left unattended, residual heat indicators, and a control lock for cleaning or when children are nearby. With its true flush installation option, intuitive emotive touch controls that illuminate only when needed, and the ability to coordinate above a matching single wall oven, the JennAirJICT736SB delivers a rare combination of design, intelligence, and precision performance that stands out in the premium induction category.

• Residual Heat Indicator lights – clearly show when a cooking area is still hot after use, warning you to avoid contact or to use the residual heat for gentle warming.
• Power On Indicator Light – provides a visual confirmation that an element or the cooktop is powered on, reducing the risk of leaving a zone active unintentionally.

• Emotive touch controls – intuitive LED touch controls illuminate when in use and fade into the black glass when off, with individual controls for each zone for quick, precise adjustments.
• 18 manual power levels – offers fine‑grained control over heat output so you can tailor power precisely for simmering, sautéing, searing, or boiling.
• Remote Turn Off capability – lets you turn off all cooking zones at once from your connected smart device when the cooktop is set to remote enable, adding peace of mind when away from the kitchen.
• Induction cooking technology – uses electromagnetic energy to heat the pan directly rather than the cooktop surface, delivering faster heating, precise control, and a cooler surrounding surface.
• Fast water boiling – brings water to a boil up to about 2.5 times faster than comparable electric radiant cooktops, shortening prep time for pasta, blanching, and hot beverages.
• Even edge‑to‑edge heating on rectangular zones – provides uniform heat distribution across the entire Flex‑Choice™ zone, ideal for griddles and long pans without hot or cold spots.
• Works with most high‑quality induction‑ready cookware – compatible with multi‑ply stainless steel, enameled steel, and cast iron; pans marked “induction” or that attract a magnet on the base are suitable.
• Cooler surrounding surface – because induction heats the cookware directly, the glass around the pan stays cooler than on traditional electric cooktops, making cleanup easier and enhancing safety.
