Café Induction Cooktop

Yes, induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this cooktop.

The cooktop uses sensors to detect if a compatible pan is placed on an element. If no pan is detected, the burner will not activate or will automatically shut off, which helps prevent accidental heating and improves overall kitchen safety.

Yes, the cooktop features WiFi connectivity, allowing you to monitor temperatures and timers through the Café app. While you can monitor and adjust settings remotely, you must be physically present at the cooktop to initiate certain safety-related functions.

Control Mode allows you to maintain precise temperatures within one degree of your target setting. This is particularly useful for delicate tasks like tempering chocolate, sous-vide cooking, or simmering sauces that might otherwise scorch.

The smart touch controls are designed to be intuitive and responsive, but like most glass-touch surfaces, they perform best when the area is clean and dry. A quick wipe with a cloth is usually sufficient if you have spilled liquids on the control panel.

As a 36-inch induction cooktop, this unit requires a dedicated, hardwired electrical connection, typically 240V. We strongly recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it meets local building codes and safety requirements.
