Important Safety Information

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning

•
cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning
easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective
finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.

•

Please be careful on the edges when moving pots and pans around.

•
Do not have the cooking zones on with empty pans or with no pots or pans on them.

•

Ceramic glass is very tough and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not

•
unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall onto it.

Be very cautious when using pots made of cast iron or other pots with rough edges or

•

burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on glass.

If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove

•

immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

NOTE: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking

zone!

Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example,

•
plastic utensils, aluminum foil or cooking wraps. If any materials or foods melt on the

ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.

DISPOSAL OF OLD APPLIANCES

To protect the environment, it is important that worn-out appliances are disposed of in the
correct manner.

The appliance must not be disposed of with household rubbish.

•

You can obtain information about collection or public refuse disposal sites from your local

•
health council or environmental health office.

CAUTION Before disposing of old appliances, please make them inoperable

so they cannot be a source of danger. To do this, have a qualified person

disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.

Introduction to Induction Cooking

INDUCTION COOKING
How Induction Cooking Works

An induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This generates
magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans as
compared to methods that first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the

base of the pan is immediately heated up, saving time and energy.

Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the Cooking Zone
itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop becomes hot from the heat from the base of the pan.

NOTE: If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone, there is no energy transfer (heating up).
This prevents the Cooking Zones being switched on and becoming hot accidentally.

IMPORTANT

Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton and

•
plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging

materials.

Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and

•

phones.

Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g. credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on

•
or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use!
Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the Cooking Zones as they can

•
become hot when the Cooking Zones are in use.

Selecting Cookware

The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of
cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the
Cooking Zones. When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically labeled by the
manufacturer for use with induction cooktops.

Pots and Pans

In principle, all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These include steel, steel-

•

enamel as well as cast-iron pots and pans.
High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base are suitable for induction only if the

•
manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case, they have a magnetic

material in the base.

If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok),

•

please follow the manufacturer's instructions and do not use a very thin pan.

NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking zones. This is not
a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result.

Suitability Test

If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for use with your induction cooktop, you can find

out with a few simple tests:

Place a pot filled with a little water (1/8" or 1/4") on the Cooking Zone. Set the Cooking Zone

•
to full power (power level 9).

— 9 —

Introduction to Induction Cooking

Selecting Cookware

CAUTION The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few

seconds! The water should boil rapidly.

You can also check cookware suitability with a magnet. If the

•
magnet remains fixed to the base of the pan, the pan is suitable for
induction cooking.

Avoiding Scratches

It is recommended to always use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your induction
cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic
surface. Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface.

Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.
Sliding any type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop can affect the overall appearance of the
cooktop. Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop may alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches can make cleaning the
surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Scratches can also result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing vegetables) which are
dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.

Use Flat-Bottomed Cookware

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use
flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking element and the amount of food
being prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware with a base less than 5".

For Best Results

Always follow the recommendations for proper cookware type and size. In addition:

•

Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after

cooking and make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry.

•

When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use large pots so that nothing can boil over.

•

Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion
or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop (this type of damage is not covered by your

warranty).

•

Match the pan size and Cooking Zone to the amount of food being prepared.

Tips for Saving Energy

Always position pots and pans before you switch on the

•
Cooking Zone.
Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more electricity.

•
Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on

•

the pots and pans so that they are completely covered.

Introduction to Induction Cooking

Selecting Cookware

Cookware Selection and Placement

It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one

of the incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the

ceramic cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and
an E will appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting
to use the cooktop.

Correct Incorrect

Cookware centered

correctly on

Cooking Zone

surface.

Pan rests completely

on the cooktop

surface.

Flat pan bottom
& straight sides.

Pan is properly

balanced.

Pan size meets
or exceeds the

recommended

Pan does not

meet the

minimum size

required for the

Cooking Zone

used.

Heavy handle

tilts pan.

Cooking Noise

It is normal for cooktop to generate minor noises or buzz while in use. The sounds you may
hear depend on cookware material, size of pan, amount of contents, power level and heating

elements used.

•

Heavy pans such as enameled cast iron pans are quieter than light weight multi-ply
stainless steel pans.

•

Pans that cover entirely the heating element are less noisy.

•

Cooktop may produce noises if the pan contents are cold. As pan warms up, the sound will

diminish.

•

Hearing a low humming noise or buzz is normal when cooking on high settings. When

reducing power levels, the noise level will decrease as well.

•

When using simultaneous heating elements at certain power levels, the magnetic fields may

interact and produce a soft whistle or intermitted “hum”. By lowering or raising the power
level settings of one or both of the elements, these noises can be reduced or eliminated.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning the Cooktop

General cleaning for induction ceramic glass cooking surfaces is considerably easier than for
cooking surfaces with radiant heating.

NOTE: To prevent accidental activation of the controls, it is recommended that you set the
CHILD LOCK feature before cleaning.

IMPORTANT

•

Cleaning agents must not come into contact with the hot ceramic glass surface. All cleaning
agents must be rinsed off thoroughly with clean water.

•

Do not use any aggressive cleaners such as grill or oven sprays, coarse scouring cleansers
or abrasive pan cleaners.

•

Clean the ceramic-glass surface after each use when it is warm to the touch or cold. This

will prevent spills from becoming burnt on. Remove water marks, grease and discoloration

with a glass scraper and ceramic glass cleaner.

NOTE: You may purchase glass scrapers and ceramic glass cleaners from your local hardware
store.

General Cleaning

1.

When it is cool, wipe the ceramic glass surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of
ceramic glass cleaner.

2.

Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

3.

Once a week, thoroughly clean the entire ceramic-glass cooking surface with a

commercially available ceramic glass cleaner.

4.

Then, wipe the ceramic glass surface using a clean, soft cloth dampened with clean water
and polish dry with a clean lint-free cloth.

Removing Heavy Soil

To remove food that has boiled over or stubborn spills, use a glass scraper.

1.

Hold the glass scraper at an angle of about 45° to the

ceramic-glass surface.

2.

Remove soiling by sliding the blade across the area.

3.

Use a ceramic glass cleaner as described in GENERAL
CLEANING.

Problem Soils

1. Remove sugar, melted plastic, aluminum foil, or other meltable materials with a glass
scraper immediately and while still hot. Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to

the cooktop surface. If the Cooking Zone has already cooled down, warm it up again.

IMPORTANT: There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot
Cooking Zone. Use care and wear an oven mitt.

2. Then clean the cooktop normally when it has cooled down.

NOTE: Scratches or dark marks on the ceramic glass surface caused by a pan base with sharp
edges cannot be removed. However, they do not impair the function of the cooktop.

Other Functions

Other Functions

Power Sharing

Your cooktop is equipped with four induction Cooking Zones within two heating sections. The
right and left Cooking Zones are powered by two independent induction inverters, one inverter
for each of the two heating sections. Two Cooking Zones in a heating section share the power

of one inverter. This is called power sharing.

For example, if you are cooking on both right Cooking Zones, the last power level set will be
maintained, while the first Cooking Zone may experience a slight reduction in the power level.

Power Sharing Tips

Remember to set the power level for the food item you wish to keep constant last. When using
two Cooking Zones, you can maintain a constant power level for two pans on separate heating
sections. Place one pan on one of the Cooking Zones of the left heating section and the other
pan on one of the Cooking Zones of the right heating section.
