GE Profile 30 Induction Cooktop
Description
The GE Profile PHP9030STSS brings modern induction cooking technology to countertop installations with four precision cooking elements and WiFi-enabled smart controls. For fabricators specializing in contemporary kitchen designs, this 30-inch induction cooktop demands exact cutout specifications to ensure proper electromagnetic field operation and heat dissipation. Our verified template provides professional-grade accuracy for installations in granite, engineered quartz, marble, and ultra-compact surfaces. The PHP9030STSS features touch controls, an 11-inch power boil element, and ADA-compliant design. Unlike gas cooktops, induction models require absolutely precise cutout dimensions to maintain proper clearances for electronic components and cooling systems.

Installation Overview
This induction cooktop requires a cutout measuring 28.5 inches wide by 19.625 inches deep with 0.5-inch corner radii. The overall unit dimensions are 29.875 inches wide by 21 inches deep with a low-profile 4.625-inch height. Induction cooktops generate electromagnetic fields that require specific clearance considerations - metal reinforcement bars or steel supports within 2 inches of the cutout edge can interfere with cooking performance. The touch control panel along the front edge is particularly sensitive to installation accuracy; any binding or pressure from countertop edges will cause control malfunction. Electrical requirements include 240V service with a minimum 40-amp circuit. The smooth glass surface sits nearly flush with the countertop, making edge finishing critical for both aesthetics and safety. Ensure cabinet depth accommodates the full 21-inch depth plus clearance for electrical connections and ventilation.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC for the 28.5" x 19.625" opening with precise 0.5-inch radius corners - induction cooktops offer zero tolerance for dimensional variance due to their rigid glass surface and electronic components. Feed rates for granite should range 60-80 IPM with continuous water cooling; the clean edge quality is critical because the glass cooktop surface will reveal any irregularities. For engineered quartz, use premium diamond tooling and maintain consistent feed rates to prevent chipping that could create stress points against the glass. The corner radii must be exact - use a 1-inch diameter bit and verify with radius gauges before finalizing the cut. When working with ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton, reduce feed rates by 25% and ensure bit sharpness as these materials are unforgiving of dull tooling. Test fit is mandatory with induction units; the glass top will not flex or adapt to dimensional errors like stainless steel cooktops might. Polish all edges to a minimum 400-grit finish to prevent any micro-abrasions that could stress the glass during installation.
Material Compatibility
This template excels with all premium countertop materials, though induction cooktop installations present unique considerations. Granite provides excellent thermal mass to dissipate residual heat from the cooktop's underside electronics. Engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, Cambria) works exceptionally well due to dimensional stability and resistance to thermal cycling - critical for induction units that can generate significant heat in adjacent countertop areas. Natural quartzite offers superior hardness but requires careful attention to natural fissures near the cutout edge that could propagate under thermal stress. Marble installations are suitable but should incorporate edge reinforcement given marble's tendency to microcrack under repeated thermal expansion. Ultra-compact surfaces like Neolith and Dekton are ideal for induction cooktops due to their extreme heat resistance and dimensional stability. Soapstone, while thermally stable, requires careful handling during fitting due to its relative softness.
Where to Buy
The GE Profile PHP9030STSS induction cooktop is available through authorized GE Appliances retailers including Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, AJ Madison, US Appliance, and ABT Electronics. Fabricators should direct clients to authorized dealers to ensure warranty coverage and proper electrical installation support. Retail pricing typically ranges $1,600-$2,200 depending on promotions and finish options. Many appliance showrooms maintain demonstration units to showcase the induction cooking technology. For contractor pricing on multiple units or builder programs, contact GE Appliances commercial sales division or establish trade accounts with major appliance distributors. This model qualifies for various energy rebate programs due to its Energy Star certification - advise clients to check local utility company incentives.
