Abstract: An induction cooktop includes a cooktop surface, a plurality of power delivery coils in an array beneath the cooktop surface, a cooking article detector, a light source directed toward the cooktop surface, and a controller. The controller receives a signal from the cooking article detector including size and position information for at least one detected cooking article on the cooktop surface and determines that a detected position of the detected cooking article does not correlate with a preferred position of the cooking article with respect to at least one of the plurality of power delivery coils. The controller then presents an indication, via the light source, of the preferred position of the detected cooking article on at least one of the detected cooking article and the cooktop surface.

Abstract: An induction cooktop may be reconfigured to be used as a built-in side-by-side warmer model, a built-in front-back warmer model, a countertop side-by-side warmer model, and a countertop front-back warmer model. The cooktop may include a housing with two warmers and a control panel for supplying power to the warmers. The control panel may be detached from one side of the cooktop and reattached to another side, thereby reconfiguring the cooktop from a side-by-side warmer model to a front-back warmer model. The inclusion of a ledge around the periphery of the housing may allow the cooktop to be used as both a built-in model and a countertop model.
