With the ceramic Whirlpool AKT 8330/LX cooktop, you can easily prepare your favorite dishes. The cooktop has 4 cooking zones with different sizes. You place your large pot of rice in the rear left and you cook your eggs on one of the smaller rings at the front. You can easily control the cooktop with the Touch Control controls. This Whirlpool cooktop offers 9 settings. Found the right setting for your dish? You can lock it. That way, your curious kids can't accidentally turn up the heat and burn your pancakes. If you quickly want to boil some water, select the boost function. Your pan gets extra hot for a couple of minutes and automatically switches back to the previous setting.
