Cooktop types at a glance.
Pros and cons: induction, ceramic and venting.
Which type of cooktop is right for your needs? All have a glass ceramic cooking surface, and unlike gas cooktops, are electric powered. Here's a look at how each stands out.
Induction: The most energy-efficient choice delivers instant heat and is easy to clean. It only works with magnetic cookware, such as a stainless steel pot or pan.
Ceramic: Easy to use and compatible with all kinds of pots and pans, this ceramic cooktop is a classic choice. The surface remains hot to the touch after switching off the appliance.
Venting: An attractive two-in-one appliance with an induction cooktops and a downdraft rangehood fan in one housing. No separate rangehood fan required! The appliance is deeper than non-venting models and requires additional installation space below the worktop.
Our top features.
Goodbye, scorched food.
Perfectly cooked with next-to-no effort.
Which power level to use when frying? Our induction cooktops with PerfectFry know the answer. The PerfectFry sensor monitors the pan’s temperature and adjust the temperature as needed. Choose from five predefined temperature levels and look forward to delicious results each time.
Prevents boiling over.
No more scorching, overcooking or boiling over.
Too hot and your porridge might burn or pasta water boil over. The PerfectCook sensor on our induction cooktops monitors the pot's temperature, adjusting it automatically as needed to prevent overcooking, scorching and boiling over.
Absorbs unpleasant odours.
Automatically regulates the extraction level.
Our venting cooktops have a built-in extractor fan, meaning you don't need a separate rangehood fan – a great choice for those with an eye for aesthetics. The PerfectAir sensor in the extractor module monitors the air and automatically adapts the power level to suit the steam and odours. It uses the lowest extraction level to keep the noise level at a minimum. So you can focus your efforts on cooking.
Flexible layout.
The right number of burners and zones for your needs.
For maximum cooking flexibility, our induction models with FlexInduction let you merge two or more rectangular cooking zones to suit a wide variety of cooking vessels – small and large, rectangular and round. For some cooking flexibility, CombiZone cooktops contain two cooking zones that can be combined to create one larger one.
Smart control.
Use your cooktop the clever way.
Easily control your Wi-Fi-synced rangehood and cooktop with a touch thanks to Auto Control. For instance, you can program your rangehood to turn on the fan and light when the cooktop is switched on, or to run for 20 minutes after the cooktop is switched off. This way you can concentrate on getting food on the table instead of fiddling with your rangehood.
Good to know: Pair a compatible cooktop with the Home Connect app to check on your smartphone from anywhere if the cooktop is switched off.
Operate with a touch.
Effortless and elegant touch controls.
Opt for a model with touch controls for an elegant look and intuitive operation. If you want to maximise your cooking experience, opt for an induction or venting model with DirectSelect Premium. On the large, 30 cm-wide touch panel, simply select the desired cooking zones, power level and features, such as Power Boost, with a touch. The screen disappears when you turn off the hob.
