This 36-inch Bosch electric cooktop Benchmark Series features AutoChef technology, PreciseSelect, 5 cooktop elements, and PowerStart.

• Autochef: AutoChef applies the perfect amount of heat, without having to fidget with temperature settings. So every pancake comes out golden brown and every steak is seared to perfection. The AutoChef sensor regulates the temperatures continuously during frying and adjusts them precisely if needed.
• Bridge Element: A bridge element accommodates oblong pans and many diameters of cookware.
• ChildLock: Bosch cooktops take safety up a notch. The ChildLock function prevents the cooktop from being accidentally switched on.
• Countdown Timer: The days of working over a hot stove are long gone, thanks to this ingenious function that allows you to pre-set a cooking time for each individual heating element. Now you can multitask in the kitchen, and the cooktop will automatically shut off individual cooking elements when their programmed time has expired.
• Dual Element: A cooktop customized to the size of your cookware, our dual element lets you save energy with a focused area for a small pot or pan and an enlarged area for a bigger pot or pan.
• Heat Indicator: A light on the cooktop warns if the surface is hot due to any residual heat from the cooking vessel.
• PowerStart: With PowerStart, give your dinner preparations a kick-start. Pressing PowerStart delivers maximum power initially, then decreases automatically to your pre-selected temperature.
• Precise Select: Juggling multiple pots and pans on different power levels can be confusing and frustrating. With PreciseSelect, an intuitive control panel allows you to select the cooking zones and set the specific power level you want – quickly and easily. Cooking on a Bosch cooktop is made simple and enjoyable.
• SpeedBoost: Sometimes you don't want to wait for a pot of water to boil. The SpeedBoost function on Bosch induction cooktops adds even more power to speed up the cooking process.
