COOKTOPS
Gas Cooktops
Gas cooktops feature either four of five burners in 36- or 30-inch widths. All of these models include burners with a variety of heat outputs. Easily accomplish any task--from melting and simmering to stir-frying and sauteing--and move cookware between burners effortlessly on full-width, cast-iron grates.
Considerations:
- Utilizes natural gas or propane to fuel burners
- Choose between two surface styling options: stainless steel with cast-iron grates or gas-on-glass
- Offers increased control of cooking temperatures
Electric Cooktops
Electric cooktops with Even-Heat™ technology feature elements that ensure consistent heat for exceptional boiling, simmering and melting. Triple- and/or double-ring elements allow cooks the versatility to select the appropriate element based on cookware size. In addition to exceptional performance, select models feature die-cast knobs.
Considerations:
- Utilizes electricity to power heating elements
- Offers an attractive watermark pattern that adds to the elegance of the sleek, easy to clean ceramic-glass surface
- Provides increased flexibility for installation and relocation

Induction Cooktops
Induction technology generates heat directly in magnetic cookware, making the cookware the heat source instead of a burner or element. This provides precise, responsive heating and cooling similar to a gas cooktop with a smooth ceramic-glass surface that allows for effortless cleanup.
