Smeg SIMU315D Cooktop

This cooktop requires flat-bottomed cookware to ensure proper contact with the heating elements. Stainless steel, cast iron, and heavy-gauge aluminum pans with smooth, flat bases are ideal for efficient heat transfer and preventing scratches on the glass.

For daily maintenance, simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner after it has cooled completely. For tougher, burnt-on spills, use a dedicated ceramic glass scraper and a non-abrasive cream cleaner to maintain the finish without scratching.

Yes, as a built-in electric unit, the SIMU315D requires a hardwired electrical connection. We recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it meets your local building codes and safety standards.

The touch interface is designed for standard kitchen use, but like most capacitive touch sensors, it performs best when the control panel is clean and dry. If the surface becomes wet, it is best to quickly wipe it down to ensure the controls remain responsive to your touch.

It can replace a gas cooktop, but you will need to account for two main changes: capping off the gas line by a professional and ensuring your electrical circuit has the correct voltage and amperage to support an electric radiant unit.
