The NIT8661UC is the 36 inch 800 Series induction cooktop on a 37 inch glass, with Home Connect. Wide induction cooktops are where combinable zones become genuinely useful – two zones bridged into one long area for a griddle or a fish kettle. That flexibility is created in software over separate coil modules, which means a bridged area can fail as one zone while the other half continues working, and that asymmetry is a diagnostic clue rather than a puzzle.
