The Whirlpool AKZ 647 IX ceramic cooktop offers various functions to make cooking easier and more efficient. With its dual zone feature, you can extend the heating area to use large pots or rectangular cookware. The fast boil function rapidly brings water to a boil and automatically adjusts to the maximum power setting afterward. For delicate tasks like melting chocolate or keeping food warm, the gentle heat function maintains a constant 60°C temperature. Additionally, the initial cooking function accelerates heating for a set duration and then switches to the selected power level.
