Thermador Freedom Series Induction Cooktop

The cooktop uses 56 individual induction elements beneath the glass surface. Instead of traditional circular burners, the system detects the exact shape and size of your cookware and activates only the elements directly beneath it, allowing you to place pots and pans anywhere on the surface.

Yes. The cooktop features seamless setting transfer, which automatically detects when you move a pan to a different spot on the surface and moves your programmed heat settings along with it.

Yes, like all induction cooktops, you must use 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 on this cooktop.

Home Connect allows you to monitor your cooktop remotely via a smartphone app. You can check if the cooktop is on, receive notifications about your cooking status, and access remote diagnostics for service needs.

Yes, the surface is designed to support versatile cooking methods, including Teppanyaki. Because the entire surface is usable, you can place a large Teppanyaki griddle anywhere on the cooktop and heat it evenly.

No, this model does not have integrated downdraft ventilation. You will need to plan for a separate ventilation hood or downdraft system in your kitchen design.
