• Whirlpool® 30-inch induction cooktop – branded 30" electric induction surface cooking solution designed to pair with Whirlpool® wall ovens and other Whirlpool® kitchen appliances.

• Fast Boil with Power Boost – boils up to 12 cups of water about 25% faster using a Booster setting, helping you get meals to the table more quickly.

• Quick Clean Up induction surface – induction only heats the pan, keeping the surrounding glass cooler to help prevent baked‑on spills and make wipe-downs easier.

• Assisted Boil function – optional smart feature (with dedicated accessory pot) that uses tones and a flashing light to alert you when water reaches a rolling boil so you know exactly when to add food.

• Assisted Pan Frying function – optional smart feature (with dedicated accessory pan) that signals with sound and light when oil reaches the right frying temperature for more consistent pan‑frying results.

• 4 induction cooking elements – four electric induction zones delivering a wide power range (approx. 1,200–3,000W with Boost) to handle everything from gentle melting to rapid boiling.

• Power Boost on multiple elements – temporary high‑power Boost on select elements for quickly boiling water or searing in large pans.

• Tap Touch front controls – smooth, touch‑sensitive control panel at the front of the cooktop for easy access and a sleek, knob‑free surface that’s simple to clean.

• Digital display – clear digital indicators for power levels, timers and status, improving precision and ease of use.

• Keep Warm setting – low, steady heat option that keeps finished dishes warm on the cooktop without overcooking while you finish the rest of the meal.

• Melt setting – extra‑gentle heat mode designed to melt chocolate, butter and other delicate ingredients without scorching so you can multitask confidently.

• Simmer setting – maintains a consistent low temperature for simmering soups, sauces and stews without boiling over.

• Pan Detection – automatically senses when induction‑compatible cookware is placed on or removed from an active element and uses a flashing symbol to show which zone is in use.

• Automatic pan size adjustment – adapts the active heating area to the size of the pan base to improve efficiency and reduce wasted energy.

• Control Lock Mode – disables the touch controls to help prevent accidental activation and make it safer around children or during cleaning.

• Hot Surface indicator lights – visual alerts that remain on while the glass is still hot to the touch, even after the element is turned off, to help prevent burns.

• Heating element “On” indicator – dedicated light that confirms when a cooking zone is actively powered for added safety and awareness.

• Integrated kitchen timer – built‑in timer in the control panel so you can track cooking times without needing a separate device.

• Compatible cutout design – sized to fit the same countertop cutout as many Whirlpool® electric cooktops, simplifying replacement upgrades to induction.

• Optional flush installation – can be installed nearly flush with the countertop for a seamless, built‑in look that’s easy to wipe clean from counter to glass.

• Wall oven compatible – approved for installation above select Whirlpool® built‑in wall ovens or as a stand‑alone cooktop, giving flexibility in kitchen layout.

• Standard 30-inch width – common 30" cooktop size that fits many existing kitchen cutouts and cabinetry configurations.

• Low-profile 3‑11/16" height – shallow depth below the counter to help with installations over wall ovens and in tight cabinet spaces.

• Black ceramic glass surface – smooth, modern black glass top that complements contemporary kitchens and allows spills to be wiped away easily.

• Four round element layout – practical burner arrangement with a mix of element sizes (small to large) to match different pot and pan diameters.

• Electric induction fuel type – uses electromagnetic energy instead of open flame or radiant coils, improving efficiency and keeping the kitchen cooler.

• 208/240V compatible – designed to operate on standard North American 208/240‑volt household power supplies.

• 30 Amp installation requirement – engineered for a 30‑amp electrical circuit, helping simplify wiring compared with some higher‑amp cooktops.

• Power cord included – ships with the required power cord to streamline installation and reduce extra purchase needs.

• ADA Compliant design – meets ADA height and operation guidelines, with front controls and easy‑to‑reach interface for improved accessibility.

• UL listed safety certification – tested and certified to meet recognized electrical safety standards for household appliances.

• Prop 65 compliant labeling – includes appropriate California Proposition 65 warnings for informed use in applicable regions.

• Installs over built‑in oven – rated for installation directly above compatible built‑in ovens, maximizing vertical space in smaller kitchens.

• No open flame – induction technology eliminates gas flames, reducing combustion byproducts and lowering the risk of flare‑ups.

• Cooler surrounding surface – glass around the active element stays cooler than on traditional radiant electric tops, helping reduce burnt‑on spills and making cleanup easier.

• Energy‑efficient cooking – induction transfers energy directly into the cookware, typically using less energy and heating faster than standard electric radiant elements.

• Precise low‑heat control – fine power adjustments allow delicate tasks like melting, tempering and gentle simmering with less risk of burning.

• Rapid response to adjustments – induction elements heat up and cool down quickly when you change settings, giving better control over cooking results.

• Flat, knob‑free surface – uninterrupted glass top with no protruding knobs, making it easier to slide pots and to clean across the entire surface.

• Modern black finish – sleek black appearance that coordinates with a wide range of appliance finishes and kitchen styles.

• Ideal for induction‑ready cookware – optimized for magnetic pots and pans (such as many stainless steel and cast iron pieces) to deliver best performance.
