Magic No, Magnets.Beneath the sleek minimalist surface of the Wolf 15" Induction Cooktop dwells a cooking technology of startling precision and power. It's called magnetic induction. The cooktop doesn't heat up, the cookware does, fast and with perfectly distributed heat. Turn an element up or down, and the temperature response is instantaneous - up to 40% faster than gas or electric. Wolf induction produces very high highs and very low lows, for faster sears and boils or gentle simmers and melts. (A low-end finesse that other induction cooktops may not give you.)The CI152T/S is highly efficient, exceptionally safe and easy to clean, because the cooktop stays relatively cool. Black ceramic glass surface resists scratching, staining, impact and heat. Illuminated white LED sliding touch controls are crisp and easy to read. Ideal for smaller kitchens or as a companion to a cooktop or range, their 15" induction cooktop coordinates nicely with any kitchen decor.In the BeginningIn 1943, Westye F. Bakke built the first freestanding freezer in the basement of his Madison, WI. home. A businessman with a keen ability to anticipate post-World War II refrigeration trends, he founded Sub-Zero Freezer Company just two years later in an old two-car garage. From its modest beginnings, Sub-Zero has become what it is today: the recognized leading manufacturer of premium built-in home refrigerators. Available at Designer Appliances.Since its founding, Sub-Zero has pioneered quality products that meet its customers needs. In the mid-1950s, for example, the company developed the built-in refrigerator - a unit that changed the future of kitchen design by fitting within surrounding counter and cabinet space. Over time, the company has refined its early concept and has brought to market a comprehensive line of built-in models, including the 200 Series of undercounter models, its award-winning 500 Series, the design-flexible 600 Series, the integrated 700 Series, and, most recently, the state-of-the-art 400 Series of wine storage.For 60 years, Sub-Zero has offered innovative, aesthetically appealing and technologically advanced solutions to meet virtually any home refrigeration need. Through foresight and responsiveness, the company has earned its position as an industry leader - a position Sub-Zero intends to maintain well into the new millennium.What do you want your kitchen to be Sub-Zero refrigerators, freezers and wine storage units are the definitive kitchen components. Made by hand. Tested to the nth degree. With innovative dual refrigeration. Built to the same exacting standards, Wolf cooking instruments help give the fullest expression to your love of good food and the pleasure of preparing it. Wolf fuels your passion for cooking.
Key Features
Magic No, Magnets
In induction cooking, the electricity flows through a coil to generate a magnetic field under the glass ceramic surface.
When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the cooktop, currents are induced in the pan and instant heat is generated.
Incredible Control
Delivers lightning fast high heat or very low lows, with a melt setting for gentle heat and a true simmer setting to prevent scorching.
Low-end finesse other induction cooktops may not be capable of.
Highly Efficient
Almost no heat is wasted or lost into the air during cooking because energy is supplied directly and only to the cooking vessel.
Cooktop Stays Cool
With magnetic induction, the cooktop stays relatively cool, while the cookware heats up, fast and with perfectly distributed heat.
Safe to operate, and easier to clean.
40% Faster Response
Turn an element up or down, and the temperature response is instantaneous - up to 40% faster than gas or electric.
Think of the fast boils!
The Perfect Companion
Their 15" induction cooktop is the perfect companion to a larger cooktop or range, or combines with other smaller modules to create your own custom cooking array.
Cookware Sensing
No worries about leaving a hot burner on, because elements can't be energized without an induction-compatible pan on the surface (such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel).
Wolf exclusive induction elements sense pan size to focus power for optimum performance.
Stainless Steel Trim
Stainless steel trim to match Wolf transitional products.
Ceran Glass-Ceramic Surface
Ceran glass-ceramic surface for scratch resistance and easy cleaning.
Boost Mode
Boost mode boosts power by diverting power from an adjacent element.
Melt Setting
Wolf exclusive melt setting for gentle heat, and true simmer setting prevents scorching.
Touch Controls
Touch controls display an intuitive power scale for precise control.
Indicators
Indicators including boost mode, illuminate on the control panel.
