CookTek (Middleby) Induction Ranges - VIC-9400-1
14 kW • 3,500 W per hob • 200–240 V / 3-Phase
Built for demanding back-of-house use, the CookTek VIC-9400-1 delivers rapid, pinpoint heat across four independent induction hobs while using over 90 % of its energy for cooking—not hot air. Redundant electronics, smart safety controls and premium components keep your kitchen running service after service.
Features
- Four independently controlled induction cook zones (3,500 W each)
- Rotary knobs with 0-10 power settings & LED bar-graph feedback
- Automatic pan detection sends energy to the pan only—no wasted heat
- Built-in redundancy keeps remaining zones operating if one requires service
- High-impact, easy-clean glass-ceramic surface with clearly marked zones
- Over 90 % energy efficient—outperforms gas and radiant electric burners
- Self-diagnosing microprocessor monitors temperature, voltage and internal components
- Integral cooling fans, grease filter and air baffles for a cooler, cleaner interior
- Automatic shut-off prevents overheating for safer operation
- Heavy-gauge Litz wire & high-quality electronics for commercial durability
- Seamlessly drops into an optional stainless-steel cart base with storage (sold separately)

What our Experts Think
-
High-capacity commercial induction range platform — the CookTek VIC-9400-1 is engineered with four independent 3,500W induction zones, delivering a total of ~14kW for continuous, high-volume cooking performance.
-
Precision multi-zone control for busy kitchens — each hob operates independently with 0–10 power settings and LED feedback, allowing chefs to run multiple cooking tasks simultaneously with tight control.
-
Built for back-of-house durability — stainless steel construction, high-impact glass-ceramic top, and commercial-grade internal electronics support nonstop restaurant service environments.
-
Energy-efficient induction heating (>90% efficiency) — directs energy straight into cookware, reducing heat loss, improving speed, and lowering ambient kitchen temperatures compared to gas or radiant systems.
-
Advanced safety + reliability systems — includes self-diagnosing microprocessor, automatic shut-off, and integrated cooling fans for stable long-term operation under heavy loads.
-
Designed for professional installation — hardwired 200–240V three-phase power ensures stable output and supports high-demand kitchen infrastructure.
-
Seamless drop-in integration — built as a modular unit for custom counters and commercial kitchen layouts where space optimization matters.
-
Compact takeaway — a true production-level induction range built for speed, precision, and continuous service rather than light-duty cooking.
