  • No separate ON indicator light.
  • Need to select cooking zone then press '+' or '-' to increase and decrease power, only OK for a larger fingers.
  • Accommodates only 3 cooking zones at the same time.
  • Pan slides easily on glass surface when stirring, need to keep pan within the cooking zone.
  • Saucepan/pan larger than 18cm in diameter may not be efficient.
  • Noticeably noisy cooling fan turns on when cooking zone is used, turns off approximately 1 minute after cooktop is turned off.
  • Controls must be kept free of grease and moisture otherwise they will not respond to touch.
