Additionally, the cooktop is equipped with an automatic switch-off feature that activates when the appliance has been left unattended for too long.

Ease of use is enhanced by the intuitive touch controls. These controls provide a responsive interface for adjusting heat settings and activating features like the timer, which helps you keep track of cooking times with precision. The flat surface of the cooktop makes it easy to clean, as spills can be wiped away effortlessly, ensuring your kitchen maintains a polished appearance.
