Kenyon B40576LPUPS Lite-Touch Q Cooktop

The PUPS are integrated, spring-loaded pins that pop up from the cooktop surface to lock your cookware in place. This prevents pots and pans from sliding around while you are underway, which is essential for safety on boats or RVs.

While the installation is straightforward for those experienced with electrical work, it requires a 240V connection and specific built-in dimensions. Because this involves high-voltage electrical wiring, we strongly recommend professional installation to ensure it meets safety standards.

The surface is designed to be low-maintenance. Because the controls are digital and touch-sensitive, there are no knobs or crevices where food can get trapped, making it easy to wipe down with a damp cloth or a standard glass cooktop cleaner.

The cooktop features a Lock Mode specifically designed to prevent accidental operation or changes to your settings. Once activated, the controls are disabled until you manually unlock them, providing peace of mind when the kitchen isn't in use.

No, you do not need special cookware, but you should use flat-bottomed pots and pans to ensure the best heat transfer. The PUPS system is designed to accommodate standard cookware, provided the pot or pan has a flat base that allows the holders to engage properly.

The 8 settings provide a good range of control, from a gentle simmer on the lower settings to a rapid boil on the higher end. It offers enough precision to handle delicate sauces and high-heat searing, though it will have a slightly slower response time compared to induction or gas.
