This top-of-the-line stainless-steel gas cooktop features Siemens’ new Interlink function, which links the cooktop to the extractor hood. If the cooktop is activated, the exhaust fan is automatically activated. Unique is the new timer with integrated flame indicator. It indicates via bright blue LEDs that the flame is on – no need to peek below the pot to see whether the burner is lit. The timer can shut off the two burners after up to 99 minutes. For even more convenience, the cooktop is also equipped with auto-ignition. The knob needs only to be pushed down once and the flame is ignited automatically.
