The CIT30FBG is a 30-inch, 4-element induction cooktop finished in Titanium Gray, using an Extended Flex Zone layout that lets adjacent zones combine for larger cookware. It’s rated at 7,200 total watts with 17 power levels and uses Thermador’s DirectSelect Touch Control interface rather than the Multitouch+ panel found on some other CIT models.
Flex-zone induction cooktops add one more variable to troubleshooting: besides the usual touch-panel and cookware-detection checks common to all induction units, a Flex Zone that won’t merge into a single cooking area for a large pan is often a placement or sensor issue rather than a problem with the zone itself.

Most Common Issues on This Model
An Extended Flex Zone that won't combine into one large cooking area is usually a cookware-placement or sensor-alignment issue rather than a hardware failure.
DirectSelect touch buttons that don't register a press reliably often just need cleaning - residue on the glass over the touch sensors is a common culprit.
As with any induction unit, a zone that stays cold with a compatible pan may indicate a failed induction coil requiring professional diagnosis.
