Invisible cooktop: Fully integrated induction from Gaggenau
Invisible cooktop – discover fully integrated induction from Gaggenau in the magazine.
Reading time: approx. 2 minutes
A modern cooktop blends seamlessly into the kitchen. An even more modern cooktop disappears completely. It is not merely unobtrusive; it is virtually invisible. The fully integrated induction system from our premium brand Gaggenau does exactly that: it vanishes invisibly beneath the countertop, showcasing an innovative design that is perfect for an open-plan kitchen. All that remains visible is a single dot and a signature Gaggenau control knob on the side. Here in the magazine, we explain exactly how this invisible induction technology works and how to plan and integrate it into your kitchen.
How it works
Gaggenau’s fully integrated induction system works just like a standard induction cooktop, except that the technology is installed invisibly within the worktop: induction modules located beneath the surface heat the base of the cookware directly, while the worktop itself remains largely cool. Gaggenau’s signature control knobs (available in stainless steel or black) are a visual highlight of this fully integrated system. Thanks to their high precision, they allow for direct, rapid, and intuitive selection of the twelve power levels, as well as the keep-warm and booster functions. The knobs can be positioned either centrally or flush with the cooking zones.
A small dot of light signals the connection between the control knob and the active cooking zone by glowing subtly, while also serving as a positioning guide for the cookware.
- Place magnetic cookware on the marked area of the worktop
- An LED dot indicates the cooking zone
- Control the power level using the signature Gaggenau control knobs with illuminated rings
Fully integrated induction is perfect for this type of kitchen
Not every kitchen is suited to this innovation from Gaggenau. However, there are numerous ways to integrate this modern induction technology. The invisible cooktop works perfectly—especially in an open-plan kitchen—without any visible appliances. Combine it, for example, with an invisible ceiling extractor or a stylish island hood that looks like a designer light fixture.
Our recommendation:
Invisible induction is ideal for...
- ... design enthusiasts who value the perfect harmony of form and function
- ... open-plan kitchens that blend the cooking area with the living space
- ... tech-savvy users who want to try out the latest innovations
These ceiling and island hoods could be a good match.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions and answers regarding Gaggenau’s fully integrated induction system.
Which cookware is suitable?
The innovative cooking system works only with ferromagnetic cookware—i.e., pots and pans suitable for induction. Ideally, they should have a round base. Also, ensure you use the correct size for the various modules.
How is the countertop protected against scratches?
A removable magnetic surface protector is available; it shields the countertop from scratches while also dampening noise when sliding pots and pans across the surface.
Which countertop materials are suitable for the invisible induction system?
12 mm thick Dekton countertops are compatible with the invisible induction modules. In general, the countertop must be able to support the induction modules and possess sufficient mechanical stability.
What needs to be considered during installation?
To ensure a safe installation, observe the specified minimum clearances. Additionally, no other appliances—such as ovens, refrigerators, or dishwashers—may be installed beneath the module.
