Four induction elements and a range of easy-to-use options make this Whirlpool cooktop the perfect helping hand in the kitchen. Use the sleek touch controls to choose the best setting for each dish – develop sauces or glazes with a light touch using Precise Simmer, or try out the optional Assisted Boil or Frying functions for perfectly prepared starches and proteins. Intuitive digital controls on a glass smooth top surface make this appliance a low-profile, high-tech enhancement to the modern kitchen.

Unique Features
Compact Size: Cook with multiple pans on a cooktop that packs in four elements without taking up valuable counter space. Induction Elements: Induction technology transfers energy directly into any magnetic cookware for faster, more energy-efficient heating. Plus, the elements cool down faster to avoid baked-on messes for a quicker cleanup. Assisted Cooking: Use the Assisted Boiling feature for pasta and rice, or Assisted Frying for vegetables, meats and French fries – these settings indicate when water or oil reaches the correct temperature to add food. (Requires specialized accessory pot or pan, available separately through Whirlpool). Keep Warm Setting: Low heat keeps food ready to serve while you finish up meal preparation. Control Lock: Disable the control panel to avoid unintended use and make cleanup safe and easy. Melt Option: This function allows you to bring food to the ideal temperature for melting to achieve optimum taste and texture without risk of burning. This method won’t damage delicate ingredients like chocolate and helps prevent food from sticking to cookware. A Precise Simmer for Precise Cooking: Maintain a low temperature to prepare items with long cook times like sauces and soups. Pan Detection: Easily see which element is activated with Pan Detection. A flashing symbol alerts you when a pan is removed or replaced on an active element.
