The main idea behind the i-Cooking system consists of two components:

• The flush mounting of a gas burner system into a worktop.
• The burner positions can be adjusted to the needs of the user.

integration with the worktop

In the traditional gas cooker the burners are usually mounted on top of a metal dripplate or glass ceramic sheet. Because of this construction method it is very difficult to flush mount them into a worktop. Usually, they are just mounted on top of the worktop. A common complaint on these cooktops is that all corners, seams and crevices are difficult to clean. With a i-Cooking cooktop these problems are gone forever. Through a unique, patented mounting principle the dripplate is removed and thus all edges and seams where dirt can accumulate are gone. It also gives a unique look to the worktop, because it becomes part of the worktop instead something that is just added to it.

Optimized configurations

To give you an idea of what is possible with i-Cooking cooktops we have a number of predefined formats. The starting point for the design was to get the most useful working space between the burners. The limiting factor in this is the kitchen cabinet that usually sits under a cooktop, a cooktop often cannot be larger than that cabinet size. A second factor is the depth of the worktop. For a worktop with a rear mounted wall the pans need to be at a certain minimum distance from the rear so the wall won’t get to hot. This limits the depth of the cooktop. The predefined cooktops are suitable for cabinet widths of 900, 1000 and 1200mm and a worksheet depth of 600mm with a 20mm rear wall mounted on top it.

Flush mounting

The predefined cooktops have a solid 4mm dripplate and can be flush mounted or mounted on top of a worktop. For the flush-mounted cooktop a 4mm deep slot should be milled in the worktop.

Customized configurations

All configurations can also be integrated directly into a worktop. This is possible in 4mm stainless steel, stone and composite worktops. Other application methods are still in development. Usually, the predefined setups will be satisfactory but you do have the freedom to design your own cooktop. In consultation with the experts of ABK InnoVent you can designs a i-Cooking cooktop witch is the best suitable for your kitchen or your cooking habbits.
