This V-ZUG CookTopInduction V4000 makes creating your culinary delights simple. There are four cooking zones, supported by nine power levels. Using the bridging function, you can combine two cooking zones into one larger zone to accommodate your larger pots and pans. Induction technology works by generating heat directly into your cookware, rather than the cooktop itself heating up. This achieves rapid heating, efficient energy use, and a safer kitchen environment. Sleek slider controls and the digital display make setting your preferences easy. For added safety, residual heat indicators will let you know when the cooktop is hot to the touch. Plus, the automatic shut-off feature monitors the cooking zones and will shut off the cooking zone after a certain operating time, depending on the power level set. The cooktop is built with OptiGlass, a hard coating with a mirror-glass design, offering style and durability.
