Induction cooking is 70% more efficient than gas and 20% more efficient than electric and offers more responsive, exceptional temperature control at low and high heats, so it is gentle enough to melt chocolate and powerful enough to boil water. And because heat is generated directly in the cookware, the cooktop stays cooler to the touch, making it safer and easier to clean. Induction elements are compatible with most stainless-steel cookware. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pot or pan, it is induction friendly. Empava products offer the best in contemporary design matched with the latest in appliance technologies to transform the way you live.

    How much clearance is needed below the countertop for this cooktop? Would like to plan for drawers under this cooktop.
    ByMar 23, 2025
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Hey there, Thank you for your question! To ensure proper installation and ventilation for your induction cooktop, we recommend the following: Minimum Clearance Below Countertop: The cooktop itself is 2.12 inches tall, and additional space is needed for wiring and plumbing (typically 1–2 inches). A cut-out height of around 5 inches is ideal to accommodate these components. Ventilation & Heat Dissipation: It’s important to leave adequate space below the cooktop for airflow. The cabinet bottom should not be fully enclosed—please ensure there’s proper ventilation to prevent overheating. For optimal performance and safety, we advise planning your drawer depth accordingly while maintaining sufficient clearance and ventilation space. To better assist you with this concern, please don't hesitate to get in touch with The Home Depot Customer Service Department at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM. A member of this team will help you solve this problem soon. Thank you!

      Answer This Question

      Hey there, Bridge elements activate adjoining elements together to provide a larger cooking area when in use. it provides an oblong heating area for use with a griddle, open roaster, or fish poacher. To better assist you with this concern, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our The Home Depot Customer Service Department at SUPPORT@EMPAVA.COM. Thank you!

                  I've had it over a year.
                  It takes a little getting used to. biggest drawback cuz you can't use your aluminum pots and pans It's kind of hard to find ones that work that aren't just stainless steel where everything sticks. but after a year it's scratchless and clean. We cook a lot we stay at home a lot covid and all. It is held up well. when things over boil they don't go down and burn you can put your finger right next to a boiling pot.

                    Great Price!
                    Purchased as a replacement for our 10 year old S***s K*****e Elite which had developed a problem with the power supply and/or inverters. The Empava cost was less than the replacement part for the previous cooktop so that was a no brainer. From order to delivery to my local store was 6 days. Installation required me to fabricate a filler trim strip of aluminum as the Empava was slightly smaller than the previous cooktop. The Empava does make slightly more noise during operation but I feel that is the due to the changes of the induction technology the past 10 years. The only demerit I can place on the Empava is the digital display can be washed out if there are lights on your vent hood illuminating the cooktop. These displays could be much brighter. Would give the Empava 4.9 out of 5.0 otherwise.

                      This is a terrible stove despite the good price
                      Empava Induction Cooktop This is a terrible cooktop. It is everything you do not want in an induction cooktop. 1. the temperature controls are in steps, so you can’t turn it down low-low, which is one of the best things about induction. If I put on a one quart saucepan and want it to boil for a while (like making rice), on level 1 it does not boil, on level 2, it boils over, then stops, boils over then stops, every ten seconds. 2. The big, powerful burner in the middle, which is why I chose this particular stove, can really only be used on low settings. On high settings it sounds like we are being shot at by Klingons, continuously. It is LOUD. The manual says that is because I am using poor quality cookware. It does it with cast iron and AllClad and Emeril and all the other very nice, induction ready, pans I used on my previous induction cookware without loud noise. 3. The big burner also only cooks in the middle of our big frying pan. So making naan, it burns in the middle and nothing else is cooked. That is in a cast iron frying pan 4. If you pick up a pan to swirl around the contents or flip something, the stove starts beeping frantically in like two seconds. To make it stop you have to shut the whole thing off, then restart each burner and set it to whatever level you had it at before. I know this is to tell you that a pot has moved off a burner that is still on, but it is way too fast and you can’t just put the pot back and have it sense it and turn off the warning. 5. When you wipe the stove off, it activates the controls. There is a lock you can use to make it stop doing that, but then we can’t get the lock to turn off, we have to go outside and tun off the breaker to unlock the stove. I am looking for a different, used one ( because i cant afford another new one) to rep,ace this brand new cooktop. I hate it that much. My housemates are asking for gas

                          This Empava cooktop is beautiful
                          This Empava cooktop is beautiful. I read reviews before purchase and found a website that compares induction cooktops and reviews many of them. I found that Empava was rated #1 and included top name brands like Samsung, GE, & KitchenAid. I was hesitant as I had never heard of this brand but decided to order based on the reviews. I absolutely love this cooktop. The bridge is amazing as you can use a griddle and it heats the entire surface of the griddle evenly. The customer service was amazing. They even called after installation to make sure we were satisfied. Didn't get that kind of customer service from Samsung (for refrigerator and dishwasher) or LG (for the built in microwave/oven). I would definitely recommend Empava for any appliance they make.

                              I've put it to use. Like everybody else I researched and I read the reviews. Sometimes reviews can make us wondering if we should buy it or not. I am glad I bought this cooktop. So far I am happy with it. We love our new cooktop. It has even heat and is easy to clean. Excellent buy for the price.
