KitchenAid KICU509XSS Induction Cooktop

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 perfectly on this unit.

The bridge function allows you to link two cooking zones together to create one large surface. This is ideal for using oversized cookware like griddles or long roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a single burner.

Because induction technology only heats the cookware and not the surface itself, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass. You can generally wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or a specialized ceramic glass cleaner once it has cooled.

Performance Boost temporarily increases the power of a cooking zone to its maximum level. This is specifically designed to bring large pots of water to a boil much faster than a standard setting.

Yes, this model includes a child safety lock that disables the touch controls to prevent accidental activation. Additionally, the induction technology ensures the surface stays relatively cool to the touch compared to traditional electric or gas cooktops.

This unit is designed for a 30-inch space, but you should verify your specific cutout dimensions. The required cutout for this model is 29-1/2 inches wide by 19-5/16 inches deep.
