Empava 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 is compatible with this cooktop.

This unit requires a 240V power supply and a 50-amp circuit. Because this is a hardwired appliance, we strongly recommend having a licensed electrician handle the installation to ensure it meets local building codes.

The bridge element allows you to combine two separate cooking zones into one large surface. This is ideal for using oversized cookware like griddles or roasting pans, ensuring even heat distribution across the entire base.

The vitro ceramic glass surface is designed to be easy to maintain because the surface itself doesn't get hot—only the cookware does. Spills won't bake onto the glass, so you can typically wipe it clean with a damp cloth or a specialized ceramic cooktop cleaner once it cools down.

The cooktop includes an automatic pan detection feature that shuts off the element if no cookware is sensed. Additionally, the 99-minute timer allows you to set a specific duration for cooking, providing an extra layer of safety and convenience.

You should verify your specific cutout dimensions against the unit's requirements of 34.65 inches wide by 19.69 inches deep. While it is designed for standard 36-inch spaces, precise measurement of your existing opening is essential before purchase.
