Fisher & Paykel Series 7 Induction Cooktop

The cooktop features SmartZones, which allow you to bridge two cooking zones together. This creates a single, large cooking area, perfect for accommodating oversized cookware like griddles or roasting pans.

Yes, induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface itself. While the glass can get warm from the residual heat of the pan, it remains significantly cooler than traditional electric or gas cooktops, making it safer and easier to clean.

You must use cookware with a magnetic base, such as cast iron, enameled steel, or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pan, it is compatible with induction.

Induction offers superior precision compared to gas. You get immediate heat response when adjusting levels, and the touch-and-slide controls allow you to dial in exact heat settings, ranging from a gentle simmer to a rapid boil.

PowerBoost is designed to provide intense heat for rapid boiling, but it is typically limited by the total power management of the unit. While you can use it to speed up cooking, you may not be able to run all five burners on maximum boost simultaneously due to electrical load limits.

Yes, this unit requires a 208-240 Volt connection. Because it is a high-performance appliance with a maximum burner output of 5500 Watts, you should ensure your kitchen's electrical circuit is rated to handle this load before installation.
