Product Features

Induction Technology Provides Powerful, Precision Cooking

Our uniquely engineered induction cooktops offer exceptional power, precision, and responsiveness for fast, efficient heating and even cooking. Using electromagnetic energy to directly heat your cookware—and only your cookware—induction is about 5-10% more energy-efficient than radiant electric cooktops and about 3 times more efficient than gas. Plus, the cooktop surface remains relatively cool, making it safer to operate and easier to clean. Learn more about induction cooking here.

UltraHeat™ 5.0kW Element for Quick Boil or True Simmer

With 5,000 watts of power, our UltraHeat™ element is powerful enough to rapidly boil water and flexible enough to turn down to a true simmer, perfect for soups and sauces.

Heat Larger Cookware with the Flexible Cooking Zone

Conveniently expand your cooking area by combining the two left elements into one continuous cooking zone, allowing you to evenly heat longer pans, griddles, and oblong cookware.

Boost Your Cooking Power

Need extra cooking power? Activate Boost mode to maximize an element's power output for up to 6 minutes. Ideal for quickly boiling large pots of water or heating large quantities of food.

Stylish Modern Design

Enjoy the professional look and feel of a ceramic induction cooktop that elevates any kitchen. Featuring SmoothTouch® Glass Controls and smooth surface that easily wipes clean, this cooktop delivers seamless, built-in style and premium form and function to your countertop.

Backlit SmoothTouch® Glass Controls

The backlit LED SmoothTouch® glass controls deliver sleek style, high-definition-visibility and easy operation, with just a touch of your finger. The controls appear hidden when off, for a minimalistic, low-profile look. Plus, the smooth surface easily wipes clean for a design that is as practical as it is stylish.

Cooktop LED Bars for Convenient Monitoring

Each cooking element features a red LED bar that displays its current power level—allowing you to quickly and easily monitor the cooktop.

A Smarter Home Starts with the LG ThinQ® App

The ThinQ app offers control and convenience for smart LG appliances to help you simplify life and enjoy the comforts of home. Manage and monitor your cooktop remotely, sync it with your smart LG hood or over-the-range microwave to auto-activate the light and vent, and more. ThinQ UP appliances receive software updates for new features and enhancements. Learn More.

Safer, Easy to Clean, and Detects Your Cookware

Because induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat only your induction-compatible cookware, and not the cooktop itself, fire hazards and risk of burns are reduced for a safer experience. And since the cooktop remains cool, drips and splatters won’t burn onto the surface, allowing for easier cleanup.

Cookware Compatibility Indicator

How well your cookware heats on an induction element depends on several factors, such as the cookware's size, material, and shape of its base. Our cooktop is equipped with a built-in Cookware Compatibility Indicator, which rates cookware and element compatibility on a scale from 0 to 10, to help you optimize the power output and performance of each element and maximize energy efficiency.

Get the Perfect Simmer with Just a Tap

Thanks to a dedicated Simmer key on the control panel, you can quickly and easily achieve the perfect simmer. Great for sauces, stews and more.
