GE Profile 36 Induction Cooktop
Description
The GE Profile PHP9036SJSS represents the pinnacle of 36-inch induction cooking technology with five precision elements including an 11-inch Power Boil zone capable of 3,700 watts. For countertop fabricators serving high-end residential and commercial markets, this cooktop demands absolute dimensional accuracy for successful installation. Our professionally verified template ensures precise cutouts in granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, and ultra-compact surfaces. The PHP9036SJSS features SyncBurners technology for synchronized heating across large cookware, auto pan-size detection, and digital touch controls with LED displays. Unlike traditional gas cooktops, induction models like this require exact cutout specifications to accommodate sensitive electronics, cooling systems, and the rigid glass cooking surface that offers zero dimensional forgiveness.

Installation Overview
The PHP9036SJSS requires a cutout measuring 33.875 inches wide by 19.125 inches deep with mandatory 0.5-inch corner radii. Overall unit dimensions span 36.125 inches wide by 20.5 inches deep with a sleek 4.625-inch height profile. The larger 36-inch format presents specific installation challenges - the glass surface spans nearly three feet and cannot flex or adapt to dimensional errors. Cutout accuracy must be within ±1/16 inch across the entire opening. The five-element configuration includes synchronized burners that require unobstructed electromagnetic field generation - any metal reinforcement within 2 inches of the cutout perimeter can interfere with cooking performance. Touch controls along the front edge are pressure-sensitive and will malfunction if countertop edges create binding or stress points. This model draws 240V power through a 50-amp minimum circuit, with electrical connections at the rear underside requiring adequate cabinet depth clearance. The glass surface sits flush with the countertop, making edge finishing quality critical for both visual appeal and long-term durability.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC machine for a 33.875" x 19.125" opening with exact 0.5-inch radius corners using a 1-inch diameter bit - verify corner radii with precision gauges before committing to final cuts. For granite fabrication, maintain feed rates of 65-85 IPM with continuous water cooling and verify bit sharpness every 24 inches of cutting perimeter. The 36-inch width requires strategic material layout planning to avoid seams in visible areas. Engineered quartz cutting demands premium diamond tooling rated for extreme hardness - expect accelerated bit wear on materials like Caesarstone Concetto or Cambria Brittanicca due to their quartz concentration exceeding 93%. When cutting natural quartzite, inspect the material for natural fissures that could propagate during cutting or thermal cycling; reduce feed rates by 20% near any visible mineral veining. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton require specialized cutting parameters - reduce feed to 45-55 IPM and use coolant flood systems to prevent thermal buildup that can cause edge spalling. The corner radii are absolutely critical; induction cooktops with glass surfaces will not tolerate dimensional variance. Polish all cut edges to minimum 400-grit finish, inspecting for micro-chips that could create stress concentration points.
Material Compatibility
This template delivers professional results across all premium countertop materials with specific considerations for induction cooktop applications. Granite offers excellent thermal mass for heat dissipation and accommodates the 33.875-inch span without structural concerns - select slabs with minimal fissuring near the cutout zone. Engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, Cambria, Viatera) represents the ideal substrate for induction cooktops due to its dimensional stability under thermal cycling and immunity to heat damage from electromagnetic heating. Natural quartzite provides superior hardness and heat resistance but requires expert evaluation of grain patterns to prevent directional stress failures. Marble installations are aesthetically stunning but should incorporate epoxy-reinforced edges given marble's tendency toward thermal microcracking and relative softness. Ultra-compact surfaces like Neolith, Dekton, and Lapitec are engineered specifically for high-heat applications and handle induction cooktop installations flawlessly - their extreme hardness demands specialized tooling but delivers unmatched durability. Soapstone, while thermally stable and heat-resistant, requires careful handling during test fitting to avoid chipping the relatively soft stone. Porcelain slabs work exceptionally well but require diamond tooling rated for porcelain's unique hardness profile.
Where to Buy
The GE Profile PHP9036SJSS is available through GE Appliances authorized dealers including Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, AJ Madison, US Appliance, ABT Electronics, Designer Appliances, and Coast Appliances. Fabricators should establish contractor accounts with major appliance distributors for preferential pricing and technical support access. Retail pricing typically ranges $2,200-$2,800 depending on finish selection and seasonal promotions. Kitchen design showrooms often maintain demonstration units showcasing the SyncBurners technology and touch control features. For builder programs, multi-unit commercial projects, or hospitality installations, contact GE Appliances commercial sales division for volume pricing and extended warranty packages. This Energy Star certified model qualifies for various utility rebate programs - advise clients to check local energy efficiency incentives that can offset $100-$300 of purchase cost. Online retailers offer competitive pricing but verify shipping and handling protocols for this 90+ pound precision appliance.
