Component Cooktop System specifications

The GE Monogram Component Cooktop System is a high-end kitchen appliance designed for culinary enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function. A cornerstone of the Monogram line, this cooktop system represents a blend of advanced technology, flexibility, and elegant design.

One of the most striking features of the GE Monogram Component Cooktop is its modular design. Home chefs can customize their cooking experience based on personal preferences and cooking styles.
