The CI152TF/S carries the same two-element induction layout and per-zone cookware detection as the flush CI152T/S, just with the top set inside a raised frame rather than sitting level with the counter. That framed edge is the only meaningful difference between the two.
Touch controls that respond in some areas but not others are more common on framed cooktops than flush ones, simply because the frame’s seam can trap moisture or debris near the edge of the touch strip over time. Wiping that seam out thoroughly is worth doing before assuming the touch membrane itself has failed.
Key Features
- 15-inch induction cooktop with two induction elements
- Transitional framed trim, so the glass or steel top sits inside a raised frame rather than flush
- Per-element coil and pan detection, so one zone can fail while the others do not
