Accessories & Add-Ons

The induction modules are activated through an enhanced surface protector, ensuring both performance and protection against scratches. The discreet central cooking zone light is more than just a visual guide—it intuitively connects to the control knob, adjusting in colour and brightness to let you know if the zone is active, hot, or needs attention. When you’re done, the light fades, and the cooktop blends back into the sleek, uninterrupted surface of your worktop, keeping the space open and versatile.

A Dot of Intuition
The dot on Gaggenau’s Essential Induction cooktop links the knob to the active zone. Its changing brightness and colour indicate the cooktop’s status—whether it's in use, cooling down, or missing a surface protector. When off, the light disappears, returning the surface to an open, multifunctional workspace.

The Essential Induction
This sleek, barrier-free induction cooktop integrates effortlessly into any kitchen, blending advanced technology with minimalist design. Just a dot, a surface, and a knob—Gaggenau’s Essential Induction offers performance and aesthetic freedom.

Enhanced Surface Protector Activation
The Gaggenau Essential Induction cooktop operates exclusively with enhanced surface protectors. These magnetic protectors activate the induction zones while preventing scratches, ensuring the cooktop performs at its best. Without the surface protectors in place, the cooking zones won’t engage. This thoughtful design also dampens sound, offering a quieter, more refined cooking experience while protecting your kitchen’s sleek surfaces.
