What is the difference between ceramic and induction cooktops?

Ceramic cooktops contain coiled metal elements underneath the tempered ceramic glass. These are heated electronically, which then heats the ceramic glass surface and warms the pan. Induction cooktops feature powerful, high-frequency electromagnets under the surface, rather than metal coils.

Answer: Wolf 14″ Downdrafts can be installed with a Cooktop and a Wall Oven below if there is enough space for all products using the individual specifications. The cooktop and Downdraft must have one continuous opening for Downdraft installation.

Radiant cooktops use metal coils below the surface. The heat radiates through the surface in the cooking zone and heats the cookware placed on top of the burner. There are different cooking zones that are individually controlled by the panel. Radiant cooktops have a sleek, flat surface and finish.

The tops are formed first as glass, then treated with a heat application that causes it to partially crystallize. This gives the cooktop the expansion capabilities of a ceramic without the porous nature of a true ceramic.

Downdraft designs are compatible with gas, electric, and induction cooktops, and require space behind or at the side of the burners for insertion, which is why they work especially well on islands and peninsulas.

Though not as common, some radiant heat cooktops use gas flames instead of electric coils beneath the ceramic surface. No special cookware is needed for radiant-heat cooktops, but flat-bottomed pots and pans allow for better heat distribution.

Because of their placement, behind the stovetop where they pull air across the burners, downdraft vents that create too much airflow could extinguish the flames of a gas stovetop, or cool the pans and play havoc with the cooking temperatures.

Almost all ovens have vents whether they are electric, gas, convection, or wall ovens. The ovens that come along with a stovetop need a range hood (whether with duct or ductless) to help vent out the oven air. As almost all ovens come with built-in venting, you do not need to vent them additionally.

Yes. Gas stoves produce intense heat and smoke, so you need a kitchen fan that can vent heavy cooking exhaust outside your home.

Induction cooktops do not need much venting as gas or electric cooktops do. But they do need ventilation. Residual heat, steam, grease, and smoke are bound to come out of the cooking vessel, which is better handled when you have ventilation.

From the burners to the food it requires heat transfer between every component. Radiant cooktops heat by passing electricity through heating elements below the smooth ceramic top. These elements radiate their heat without appreciably warming the surrounding air.

No, almost certainly not. The heat pump documentation specifies the breaker and conductor size, and that’s what must be used. Increasing the breaker size could lead to damage to the equipment and/or property, injury, death, and fire.

Downdraft ranges have built-in vents between the burners, and suck smoke and steam through an exhaust pipe or filtration system. That means they don’t need an external vent hooda trait that makes them popular in open kitchens, and kitchens with cathedral ceilings.

Unfortunately, many people are unaware of this and it might be because a gas range doesn’t have to be vented. Across the United States, the majority of residential homes cooking with gas do not need to vent their range. However, just because you don’t have to does not mean that you shouldn’t.
