Monogram Induction Cooktop

Unlike traditional electric cooktops that heat the surface itself, induction technology uses electromagnetic energy to heat the cookware directly. This results in faster boiling times, more responsive temperature adjustments, and a cooler cooktop surface that is safer to touch and easier to clean.

Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware to function. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pan, it will work; if not, you may need to upgrade your cookware to stainless steel or cast iron options compatible with induction.

The bridge element allows you to link two cooking zones together to create one large surface. This is ideal for griddles, fish poachers, or oversized roasting pans that require even heat distribution across a larger area.

Yes, this model is designed to be flush-mount capable. When installed this way, the glass surface sits perfectly level with your countertop material for a clean, seamless, and modern aesthetic.

The cooktop features glide touch controls with 19 distinct settings. This granular control allows you to make subtle adjustments, ensuring you have the exact heat needed for delicate tasks like melting chocolate or simmering sauces without scorching.

While it is compatible with downdraft ventilation systems, the specific requirements depend on your kitchen layout. Because induction generates less ambient heat than gas, you have more flexibility, but proper ventilation is still recommended to manage steam and cooking odors.

The SmartHQ app allows you to monitor your cooktop remotely, receive alerts, and integrate with compatible kitchen tools. It provides peace of mind by letting you check if a burner was left on and can even facilitate software updates to keep your appliance running optimally.
