Thermador Freedom Induction Cooktop

Yes, the Freedom Induction Cooktop eliminates traditional burner rings. The entire ceramic glass surface is active, allowing you to place up to five pots or pans anywhere on the cooktop regardless of their size or shape.

The cooktop features intelligent sensors that automatically detect the new position of your cookware. It seamlessly transfers your programmed heat settings to the new location, so you don't have to manually reset the temperature.

While it offers smart connectivity to sync with compatible Thermador hoods for automated ventilation, it will function with any standard ventilation system. The automated sync feature is specific to matching Thermador models.

Since induction cooktops only heat the cookware and not the surface itself, spills are less likely to bake on. You can typically clean the surface with a damp cloth or a dedicated ceramic glass cleaner once the unit has cooled.

Yes, this is a 240-volt appliance designed for built-in installation. You should consult a professional electrician to ensure your kitchen's power supply meets the specific requirements for this model before installation.
