The first question is bound to be "Why not buy one made for the US
market with a valid warranty?" There are plenty of US-based dealers,
including one 30 miles from me.

The next question might be "Are there any parts of the cooktop, such
as a clock, that depend on the 50Hz power to remain functioning
accurately?"
