Introducing a redesigned interface, per-element timers, updated charging controls, and a new interaction model that creates a stronger foundation for future software capabilities. Redesigned Interface The display has been reorganized into three dedicated areas so the information you need is always where you expect it. 

• System Bar for battery status, Wi-Fi, and system notifications. 

• Cooking Area for active cooking. 

• Element Dock where each element always displays its current temperature, active power, timer, and element-specific notifications. 

This new layout gives every type of information a consistent home, making the cooktop easier to understand at a glance. 

New Interactive Modal 

Additional features are now accessed by pressing and holding any knob to open the new Menu. 

From there, you can access the Timer. When all elements are off, you’ll also be able to enter the full Settings menu.

Per-Element Timers 

Every element now includes its own independent timer. 

To start a timer: 

• Press and hold the knob. 

• Select Timer. 

• Choose a duration. 

By default, the timer behaves like a traditional kitchen timer. Simply choose a duration and continue cooking—the menu will automatically close after a short time.

 You can also choose an after-state: 

• Keep Warm (approximately 160°F) 

• Room Temperature 

After the timer finishes, you’ll hear an audio alert and the LED Element Ring will briefly flash to get your attention. The timer then automatically begins counting elapsed time, making it easy to see how long it’s been since the timer completed. Press the knob to dismiss the elapsed timer. 

Timers can also be used even when an element isn’t actively cooking, making them useful for timing the oven, resting food, or track-ing other steps in your recipe.

Easier to Understand While Cooking 

The cooktop now does a better job of explaining what’s happening while you cook. 

• System information—like Wi-Fi, battery status, and software updates—appears in the System Bar. 

• Cooking information appears alongside the element it affects. 

Whether the cooktop is optimizing cooking performance, balancing available power, or needs your attention, notifications now provide clearer explanations about what’s happening and why.

Battery Status 

The battery is now always visible in the System Bar, giving you a quick sense of how much energy is available while you cook. Rather than displaying a constantly changing battery percentage, the cooktop uses a simple battery icon that’s easy to understand at a glance. If the battery reaches a low level, the cooktop will let you know.

Charge Now 

Charge Now lets you begin charging immediately whenever you choose.

It’s especially useful if you’re preparing for a large meal, want to top off the battery before cooking, or would like to take advantage of lower electricity rates or available solar energy. To recharge the battery immediately, open Settings → Power & Battery and select Charge Now.

Charging Preferences 

Charging Preferences replace the previous Scheduled Charging feature, redesigned to give you more flexibility while reducing the amount you need to manage. 

Instead of selecting a single charging time, you can now define Charging Windows throughout the day. This makes it easier to match your charging schedule to time-of-use electricity rates, rooftop solar production, or your daily routine. 

Battery Reserve has also been redesigned. Rather than selecting an exact battery reserve percentage, simply choose one of three options: 

• Low — Maximizes battery utilization before recharging. 

• Balanced — Recommended for most households. (Default)

 • High — Keeps more energy available throughout the day for larger cooking sessions or greater backup readiness.

 The cooktop automatically manages charging behavior based on the preference you choose. 

You can continue to customize your Maximum Charging Speed. Higher speeds recharge the battery more quickly, while lower speeds reduce electrical demand and may also reduce charging fan noise. The minimum setting is 4 amps, while the maximum depends on whether your cooktop has a 120-volt or 240-volt connection. 

Choose the behavior that best matches your home and your energy needs, and the cooktop automatically manages charging behind the scenes.

 If you’ve previously configured Scheduled Charging, your charging preferences will be migrated to the new system.

 • Your Charging Window will default to a 6-hour window beginning at your previous scheduled charging start time. 

• Your Maximum Charging Speed will remain the same as your previous maximum charging current setting.

 • Battery Reserve will be reset to Balanced, our recommended default for most households. You can update any of these preferences at any time under Settings → Power & Battery.

We’ve refined how the cooktop responds when cookware cannot reliably support high power settings.

In these situations, the heating element will pause and display a notification asking you to restart at a lower power setting. Lower power settings often allow cooking to continue normally. As a general guideline, restart below 3 kW; if the notification appears again, restart at an even lower setting.

This update helps protect the system while providing clearer guidance when these cookware-related conditions occur.

This release includes smoother menu navigation, reliability improvements, and additional system updates to improve overall performance and stability.

Minor updates to pan detection behavior to improve accuracy, especially when moving or adjusting the pan on the cooking element.

Pan Detection and Coil Behavior This follow-up update includes a targeted refinement to pan detection and coil behavior, to ensure consistently seamless cooking performance.

Clearer cooking controls

• When turning the knob, all cooking levels are now visible so it’s easier to see where to move next (for example, Low / Medium / High in Power Mode, or Melt / Brown / Sear in Temperature Mode).
• A new on-screen hint shows how to press the knob to switch between cooking modes.
• In Power Mode, cooking levels are now shown first, with Watts shown second. This layout better matches how folks typically think about cooking and makes Power and Temperature modes easier to tell apart.
• The cooking unit is now shown directly next to the set power level or temperature. This was previously at the bottom of the colored bar.

Note: You may occasionally see these cooking levels appear or shift slightly without an intentional knob turn. This is a known behavior. We’re continuing to tune knob sensitivity in upcoming releases to make the interaction feel even more precise.

More informative cooktop behavior

• Updated turn-off animation to better communicate sleep vs. power down states.
• The display now indicates when shutdown is delayed due to a hot cooking zone.
• Improved handling when cancelling shutdown while a element is cooling.

Performance and behind-the-scenes system improvements

• Smoother, more responsive UI performance.
• Improved stability when the stove connects to wifi.
• Onboarding system improvements for long-term reliability.
• Demo mode support for factory and showroom use that disables power output.
