The VEC530 is Viking’s standard 30″ electric radiant cooktop, using glass-topped heating elements rather than the induction technology found in the brand’s VICU line. A single zone losing power is the most common complaint, and because each element wires in separately, that kind of problem is normally isolated to the affected zone rather than the whole cooktop.
Key Features
- 30" drop-in electric cooktop, radiant glass elements
- Multiple independently controlled zones
- Ceramic glass surface
- Touch or knob controls depending on configuration
Most Common Issues on This Model
