• EVO Slider controls – backlit touch slider interface for fast, precise power adjustments, visible only when in use for a clean “ghost” look after cooking.
• Eco-Logic Advance power management – limits total power draw to match your electrical setup (adjustable from 2.4 kW up to 7.4 kW in 0.1 kW steps) to help prevent overloads.
• MultiZone (flexible cooking zones) – combines adjacent zones to create a larger cooking surface for griddles, fish pans, and oversized cookware.
• Bridge option – links zones together for more even heating across long or large pans.
• Autopot Detection / Permanent Automatic Pot Detection – automatically detects cookware and activates the correct zone/controls without manual selection.
• Induction cooking technology – heats the pan directly for rapid response, high efficiency, and cooler surrounding surfaces compared with radiant electric.
• 4 induction cooking zones – flexible layout for multitasking in a compact 24" footprint.
• 9 power levels – fine control from gentle heating to high-power cooking.
• Power Booster (all zones) – delivers extra power for rapid boiling and quick searing when needed.
• Double Booster – provides an additional boost level for even faster heat-up on compatible zones/functions.
• Quick Start – accelerates heat-up to reach the selected level faster.
• Quick selection – one-touch high-power start that automatically reduces after a set time (useful for boil-then-simmer cooking).
• Rapid level selection – speeds up choosing the desired power level with fewer steps.
• Automatic pan diameter adjustment – matches heating to the size of the cookware for better efficiency and more even results.
• Minimum pan detection (3.5" / 9 cm) – helps ensure proper induction performance by requiring compatible cookware size.
• Keep Warm (automatic) – maintains cooked food at serving temperature without overcooking.
• Grill function – supports even heat distribution for grilling-style cooking with minimal preheat time.
• Pause option – temporarily suspends cooking and lets you resume with previous settings.
• Automatic switch-off timer – turns off a zone automatically after the set cooking time for convenience and safety.
• End-of-cooking timer (4) – dedicated timers to manage multiple zones independently.
• Minute minder – audible reminder timer for general kitchen timing (not tied to a specific zone if desired).
• End-of-cooking alarm – alerts you when a timer finishes.
• Residual time indicator – shows remaining time at a glance for better cooking control.
• Residual heat indicator – indicates when the surface is still hot after cooking to reduce burn risk.
• Control Lock / Child Safety (Child Lock) – locks controls to prevent accidental changes or unintended activation.
• Protection against accidental start-up – helps prevent the cooktop from turning on unintentionally.
• Overheat protection – automatically shuts down if the control area overheats to protect the appliance.
• Overflow / overfill protection – shuts down the cooktop if liquid spills over the controls to improve safety.
• Main on/off switch – single control to power the cooktop on or off quickly.
• 24" built-in design (proud or flush mounted) – supports either standard top-mount or flush installation for a seamless countertop look.
• Ultra-low profile / fully flushed built-in type – designed to sit sleekly in the countertop for a modern finish.
• Black Eclipse ceramic glass surface – durable, easy-to-clean glass with a refined, minimalist appearance.
• Straight-edge glass – clean-lined edge styling to match contemporary kitchens.
• Front control position – keeps controls easily reachable while cooking.
• White LED backlit controls – improved visibility with a discreet, premium look.
• Electrical rating: 7400 W (7.4 kW) – high available power for strong induction performance.
• 240V / 208V compatibility (60 Hz, single-phase) – supports common North American electrical standards.
• No plug (hardwired) – designed for direct electrical connection (typical for built-in cooktops).
• Cooktop dimensions (approx.) – 23 5/8" W × 20 1/16" D × 2 1/16" H for planning and fit.
