• Residual heat indicators – visual indicators show which cooking zones remain hot after shutdown to help prevent accidental burns.

• “Know when your cooktop is hot” function – clearly communicates hot surfaces so users can avoid touching or placing items on recently used zones.

• Multiple cooking zones for different pan sizes – combination of standard, dual, and triple elements accommodates everything from small saucepans to large stockpots.

• Even heating for oversized cookware – bridge and dual‑zone elements distribute heat more uniformly across griddles and long pans.

• Flush, low‑profile surface‑mount installation – designed for surface‑mount with frame to integrate cleanly into countertops.

• 36" nominal width for standard cutouts – fits common 36‑inch cooktop openings, simplifying replacement of older units.

• Defined cutout dimensions – specified cutout size (approx. 34 3/4" x 19 7/8") helps installers achieve a precise, secure fit.

• Non‑induction radiant technology – works with virtually all flat‑bottom cookware, including aluminum, copper, and stainless steel.

• Five independent heating elements – each element can be controlled separately to support complex, multi‑dish cooking.

• Fine low‑heat control – lower power stages support simmering sauces and melting chocolate without scorching.

• High‑heat capability – upper power stages provide intense heat for rapid boiling and pan‑searing.

• Visual power‑on indication – indicators confirm when elements are active so users can quickly see if a zone is still turned on.

• Safety‑oriented design – hot‑surface indicators and clear control markings help reduce the risk of accidental misuse.

• Sturdy construction – robust frame and components are built for long‑term residential use.

• Compatible with external ventilation – intended for use with a separate range hood to manage steam, smoke, and cooking odors.

• Compact vertical height – shallow under‑counter depth helps with cabinet and drawer planning beneath the cooktop.
