• Bridge XL Even-Heat™ Zone – optimizes the cooking surface with a large bridged zone that delivers consistent, edge‑to‑edge heat for griddles, roasters and oversized cookware.

• ENERGY STAR® Certified – exceeds government efficiency standards to help reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.

• Quiet Ventilation Technology – uses efficient airflow and a precision‑engineered low‑noise fan to quietly extract smoke and steam while you cook.

• Powerful Extraction System – integrated downdraft ventilation automatically adjusts to remove odors, steam and smoke directly from the cooking surface.

• Maximizes Space hood‑free design – eliminates the need for an overhead hood, freeing up sightlines and allowing flexible placement, including island installations.

• Downdraft ventilation cooktop – combines induction cooking with built‑in downdraft, drawing air down through the cooktop for a streamlined kitchen layout.

• Assisted Cooking Presets – provide preset temperature settings for tasks like melting chocolate, keeping sauces warm or simmering soups for more consistent results.

• Power Boost Function – temporarily exceeds the maximum heat level for up to 5 minutes to bring water to a rapid boil or quickly heat large pots.

• Four versatile induction cooking zones – let you cook on four different elements at once, each with independent temperature control.

• Pan Size Detection – senses the size and placement of compatible cookware and directs heat only to the pan, improving efficiency and safety.

• Works with most high‑quality cookware – compatible with induction‑ready pans such as multi‑ply stainless steel, enameled steel and cast iron (magnet must stick to base).

• Sliding touch‑activated controls – vertical touch slider makes it easy to raise or lower heat levels and includes a built‑in timer for precise cooking.

• Digital display with zone indicators – clearly shows active zones, power levels and timer settings for at‑a‑glance monitoring.

• Cleaner Air recirculation system – advanced air extraction with an automatic fan and integrated filter helps reduce cooking odors when used in recirculation mode.

• External or recirculating venting options – supports ducted installation to the exterior or duct‑free recirculation (with kit) to suit different kitchen layouts.

• Dishwasher‑safe grease filter – captures up to 96% of grease and can be removed and cleaned in the dishwasher for easy maintenance.

• Optional charcoal filter – helps neutralize lingering cooking odors in recirculation setups to keep kitchen air fresher.

• Frameless black glass design – offers a sleek, modern appearance and allows for flush or standard installation to match existing cutouts.

• Flush‑mount installation capability – enables a nearly seamless transition between countertop and cooktop for a built‑in, premium look.

• Smoothtop glass surface – flat ceramic‑glass surface simplifies wiping up spills and splatters after cooking.

• Hot‑surface indicator lights – illuminate to warn when any cooking area is still hot to the touch, even after it has been turned off.

• Power‑on indicator lights – show when a cooking zone is active so you can quickly confirm which elements are in use.

• Automatic pan‑presence alerts – notifies you if a zone is turned on without a pan or if the pan is not induction‑compatible.

• Precise low‑temperature control – induction technology allows gentle heating for tasks like melting, warming and simmering without scorching.

• Fast, responsive heating – induction elements deliver rapid temperature changes, helping shorten preheat times and improve cooking responsiveness.

• Improved kitchen safety – induction heats the pan rather than the glass directly, keeping surrounding areas cooler and reducing burn risk.

• Energy‑efficient cooking performance – directs energy into the cookware instead of the air, helping reduce wasted heat in the kitchen.

• Integrated downdraft intake grille – centrally located vent opening captures steam and smoke from multiple burners at once.
