The art of reduction
The Essential Induction is innovation in its purest form – a cooktop and worktop combined into one.
Its single surface with no barriers, frames, or gaps allows it to seamlessly integrate into any living space, offering a high-quality cooking experience and the utmost freedom to explore and experiment.
A Dot​
​
The dot is much more than just a dot. It is a beacon. A subtle light that intuitively links the knob to the cooking zone in operation. Not only is it a guide to where to place cookware, its variation in intensity, colour, and state lets the user know if the module is on, if there is residual heat, or if the surface protector is missing. When not in use, it automatically turns off, returning the surface to a space of preparation, serving, eating and a stage for socializing.
A Surface​
​
The 12 mm ultra-compact Dekton worktop is required and available in a myriad of unique immersive colours and finishes, all scratch and heat resistant.
Out of sight, two sizes of high-performance induction modules can be combined to offer an uncompromising cooking experience. The standard 21 cm module accommodates pots and pans between 10 and 21 cm in diameter, while the large 28 cm module is tailored for cookware between 15 and 28 cm in diameter.
​
​
To guarantee optimal performance, the induction modules are activated through enhanced surface protectors that magnetically connect to the cookware. More than a key to the product, they help protect the worktop from scratches and dampen sounds for a more enjoyable cooking experience.
A Control Knob
​
The 400 series front-mounted control knobs make the Essential Induction undeniably and uniquely Gaggenau. Their high precision allows for direct, fast, and intuitive selection of the 12 power levels, keep warm function, and boost. They are available in stainless steel or black, to either seamlessly complement or boldly contrast the chosen surface design finish.
