Induction Technology Provides Powerful Precision Cooking Our uniquely engineered induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking. Using electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware — and only your cookware — induction is about 5-10% more energy-efficient than radiant electric cooktops and about 3 times more efficient than gas. Plus, the cooktop surface remains cool, making it safer to operate and easier to clean. 5 Induction Elements Five induction cooktop elements of varying sizes and power levels provide all the power and precision you need. Induction works with a wide range of cookware, from cast iron to stainless steel — if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, it’s good to go. UltraHeat™ 4.3kW Element for Quick Boil and True Simmer With 4,300 watts of power, our UltraHeat™ element is powerful enough to rapidly boil water and flexible enough to turn down to a true simmer, perfect for soups and sauces. Boost Your Cooking Power Need extra cooking power? Activate Boost mode to temporarily maximize an element's power output. Ideal for quickly boiling large pots of water or heating large quantities of food. Stylish Modern Design Enjoy the professional look and feel of a ceramic induction cooktop that elevates any kitchen.

SmoothTouch® Glass Controls Not only do the intuitive SmoothTouch® glass controls look sleek, but they provide effortless operation with just a touch of your finger. A Smarter Home Starts with the LG ThinQ® App The ThinQ® app offers control and convenience to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Sync the cooktop and a smart LG hood or over-the-range microwave to auto-activate the fan and light when the cooktop is in use. Plus, access remote monitoring, Smart Diagnosis, customer support, and more. ThinQ UP™ appliances receive software updates for new features and enhancements. Safer, Easy to Clean, and Detects Your Cookware Because induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat only your induction-compatible cookware, and not the cooktop itself, fire hazards and risk of burns are reduced for a safer experience. And since the cooktop remains relatively cool, drips and splatters won’t burn onto the surface, allowing for easier cleanup than radiant electric and gas cooktops. Cookware Compatibility Indicator How well your cookware heats on an induction element depends on several factors, such as the cookware's size, material, and shape of its base. Our cooktop is equipped with a built-in Cookware Compatibility Indicator, which rates cookware and element compatibility on a scale from 0 to 10, to help you optimize the power output and performance of each element and maximize energy efficiency. Get the Perfect Simmer with Just a Tap Thanks to a dedicated Simmer key on the control panel, you can quickly and easily achieve the perfect simmer. Great for sauces, stews, and more.
