Cooktop dilemma

Gabriella Sakula

10 years ago

Hello, we are redoing our kitchen and would like to do a cooktop over built in oven combo. We would like an induction cooktop but the folks at IKEA tell us that we cannot put an induction cooktop over a built in oven. Does anyone have any information about this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have no idea. But I'd ask advice at an appliance store rather than ikea or a big box store.

Just buy an induction range. Induction cooktop require a lot of additional ventilation space below them, or the electronics overheat. Very few makers will certify their cooktop to go over ovens. If they do, then it's only their own brand, and the oven will need to be virtually on the floor.
