Electrolux EW36IC60LS

Unlike traditional cooktops that heat the surface, this induction model uses electromagnetic energy to heat your cookware directly. This results in significantly faster boiling times and more precise temperature control, as the heat reacts instantly to your adjustments.

Yes, induction cooktops require cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of your pot or pan, it will work perfectly on this surface.

The cooktop surface itself does not generate heat, so it stays much cooler than a traditional electric or gas stove. While the surface may get warm from the residual heat of the cookware sitting on it, it is significantly safer and prevents burnt-on spills, making cleanup much easier.

This unit is designed for a 36-inch drop-in installation. However, you should always verify your specific countertop cutout dimensions against the manufacturer's installation guide before purchasing to ensure a proper fit.

The cooktop sensors automatically detect the size and presence of your cookware the moment it is placed on the burner. It then adjusts the electromagnetic field to match the base of the pan, ensuring energy is only used where it is needed.

The touch-activated interface is designed for responsiveness, but like most electronic touch controls, it performs best when the surface is clean and dry. If you are cooking with wet hands, a quick wipe of the control area ensures the sensors remain accurate.
