Thermador Freedom Series Induction Cooktop

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, you must use magnetic cookware 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 surface.

Unlike traditional cooktops with fixed burner circles, the Freedom surface allows you to place up to five pots or pans anywhere on the glass. The cooktop automatically detects the position and size of your cookware to deliver heat exactly where it is needed.

The smooth, ceramic glass surface is very easy to maintain because the area surrounding your cookware remains cool, preventing spills from burning onto the glass. A simple wipe with a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic glass cleaner is usually all that is required.

The Home Connect app allows you to monitor your cooktop remotely, check if elements are left on, and receive notifications. For safety reasons, you cannot start the cooking process remotely, but you can manage settings and receive updates on your cooking status.

This unit requires a 240-volt power supply and a 30-amp circuit. It is recommended to have a professional electrician verify your kitchen's wiring to ensure it meets these specifications before installation.

MoveMode allows you to move a pot across the surface while automatically transferring your heat settings to the new position. MyZone lets you divide the cooktop into different temperature zones, making it easy to transition from a high-heat sear to a low-heat simmer without manually adjusting the controls.
