The La Cornue range top is the modular cooking surface that sits atop the cooker, and it is where the brand’s craftsmanship is most visible. You can specify brass “flammes” gas burners, the cast-iron French Top (plaque coup de feu, engraved with the La Cornue étoiles), a lava-rock grill, induction zones, an electric Teppanyaki plate, and the Flamberge gas rotisserie — mixed to suit how you cook. No two range tops need be alike, which is the point of a made-to-order La Cornue.
Choosing and arranging the modules
Each cooker size offers a set of rangetop configurations — codes such as B1–B3, C1–C5, E0–E5, K1–K6, and N1–N9 on the Grand Palais — that determine which modules sit where. The French Top creates a gradient of heat zones from a single burner beneath a cast-iron plate engraved with the La Cornue étoiles; the induction modules add fast, precise control with pan detection and the residual-heat “H” indicator; the lava-rock grill and the Flamberge rotisserie bring live-fire-style cooking; and the Teppanyaki plate offers a flat electric griddle. The CornuFé 90 and 110 carry five-burner gas or five-zone induction tops within this same logic, and the brass “flammes” burners run near 17,000 BTU on the front and 7,500 BTU on the rear.
Service for your range top
Because the surface is assembled to order from these parts, each range top carries its own mix of modules and its own finish in brass, nickel, chrome, or copper trim, and replacement parts are matched to that original build. For a module fault — an induction “U,” a clicking gas igniter, a cracked French top, a Flamberge that will not turn — see our range top diagnostics first. Our technicians service every module type with genuine parts under the 5-year warranty, coordinating components through the National Service Center where needed — book a range top repair (from $X). Explore the module options across the model lineup, and confirm specifications on the official La Cornue site.
