The CI36060C/B is Wolf’s zoneless induction cooktop at 36 inches — rather than a fixed set of marked cooking rings, the entire surface is a coil array, and pan position is detected in software rather than by a pan simply sitting within a pre-marked zone. Contemporary trim finishes it with controls printed into the black glass.
Because software handles pan detection and positioning across the whole coil array, the detection electronics matter more here than on a standard ringed cooktop, and a cookware-recognition complaint on this model is more often a software or sensor-array issue than on Wolf’s other CI cooktops. Moving a pan slightly and watching whether the cooktop re-detects it is worth trying before calling.
