CLEANER AIR
Comes from a cutting-edge air extraction system featuring an automatic fan that adjusts to power level and an integrated filter to help remove unpleasant odors in recirculation mode to promote long-lasting freshness.
ASSISTED COOKING PRESETS
Let you quickly set your cooktop to the optimal temperatures you need—from melting delicate chocolate (42°C/108°F), to keeping rich sauces warm (74°C/165°F), or even simmering soups, stews, and rice (94°C/201°F).
FOUR VERSATILE COOKING ZONES
Give you flexibility and control of your cooktop, allowing you to cook at four different temperatures simultaneously.
CHARCOAL FILTER
(Optional accessory) helps to neutralize unpleasant odors from the extraction system, reducing the chances of them lingering or being recirculated into your home.
POWER BOOST FUNCTION
Allows you to exceed the maximum heat-level setting for up to 5 minutes, helping you get to a rapid boil.
FRAMELESS DESIGN
Allows for flush installation for a seamless look, or standard installation to fit an existing cooktop cutout.
WORKS WITH MOST HIGH-QUALITY COOKWARE
Such as multi-ply stainless steel, enamelled steel or cast iron. Aluminum and copper cookware will not work unless it has a base made of iron or steel. Look for pans marked "Works with Induction" or test to see if a magnet will stick to the bottom.
HOT-SURFACE INDICATOR LIGHT
Provides a clear signal that a cooking surface is on or still hot to the touch.
CONTROL LOCK FOR CLEANING
Disables cooking mode for 10 seconds to allow for cleaning when the cooktop is not in use. Press the hand icon to lock controls and easily wipe off grease or splatters.
BRIDGE XL EVEN-HEAT™ ZONE
Optimizes your cooking surface to your flow—with plenty of room for pots, pans, griddles, and roasters of various shapes and sizes.
EXTERNAL OR RECIRCULATING VENTING OPTIONS
Allow for more flexibility in how your downdraft cooktop vents. Choose between external ventilation or convert to duct-free recirculation (kit sold separately), ideal for installation in an island.
DISHWASHER-SAFE GREASE FILTER
Catches 96% of grease and holds both solids and liquids.
PAN SIZE DETECTION
Recognizes the size and placement of cookware to generate heat directly within the pan. Display will alert you if you turn the cooktop on without a pan on the selected element or if your pan is not compatible with induction cooking.
POWER-ON INDICATOR LIGHT
Lets you know at a glance when a zone is on.
