Accessories & Add-Ons

The cooktop operates using an enhanced surface protector, which not only activates the induction zones but also protects the worktop from scratches. A subtle, intuitive central light links to the control knob, changing its intensity to signal the zone’s status—whether it's in use, cooling down, or requires the surface protector. Once your cooking is complete, the light switches off, leaving your kitchen with a smooth, uninterrupted work surface that’s as functional as it is stylish.

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.
