Viking Professional 5 Series Induction Cooktop

Yes, because this is an induction cooktop, your cookware must be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work on this surface.

The cooktop includes a child security lock that prevents the controls from being accidentally activated. This ensures the unit cannot be turned on by children or pets when you aren't using it.

The tempered glass surface is designed for easy maintenance. Because induction technology only heats the cookware and not the cooktop itself, spills are less likely to burn onto the surface, making cleanup as simple as wiping it down with a damp cloth.

The unit features electromechanical controls located on the top right side. They are designed for straightforward, tactile operation, avoiding the learning curve often associated with complex touch-screen interfaces.

No, this specific model does not feature a bridge element. Each of the six heating elements operates independently.

For safety and visibility, the cooktop uses blue LED lights to illuminate the cooking zones whenever they are in use, providing a clear visual indicator that the surface is active.
