Viking RVL Series Induction Cooktop

The ventilation system is built directly into the cooktop surface and retracts when not in use to maintain a flush, seamless look. It effectively pulls smoke and steam downward, eliminating the need for an overhead hood.

Induction requires 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 perfectly on this cooktop.

The bridge function allows you to combine two separate induction elements into one large cooking zone. This is ideal for using oversized cookware like griddles or large roasting pans that wouldn't fit on a single burner.

Because induction cooktops heat the cookware rather than the surface itself, spills are less likely to burn onto the glass. You can typically wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth or a standard ceramic glass cleaner once the area has cooled.

Yes, it features automatic pan detection, which means the elements will only activate when compatible cookware is placed on them. If no pan is detected, the element will not heat up, providing an extra layer of safety.

The unit measures 36 inches wide by 20.5 inches deep. Since this is a built-in model with an integrated downdraft system, ensure your cabinetry can accommodate the necessary depth for the ventilation components beneath the counter.
