The main feature of the Siemens “freeInduction” cooktop is that cooks can place their pots and pans anywhere on the cooking surface. A touch screen provides simple and intuitive operation. Cooks can push pots and pans around without losing their settings. The cooking process continues uninterrupted. The subtle pattern printed on the cooking surface prevents it from getting scratched. The cooktop can be installed with a ceramic glass disk and side-mounted metal rails or flush in glass or stone countertops.
