Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which touch key pads controls each surface of the Cooking Zones.

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of different
sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Zones. The pan
detection sensors will not allow the affected Cooking Zones to operate without a pan present.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
Cooking Zones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due

to unintentional contact with the utensil.

• Never Leave Prepared Food on the Cooking Zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended after cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the
food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for
cooktop use.

• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned
frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions

and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if applied
to a hot surface.

• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass. This could cause glass to break.

• Do not slide pan across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage,

fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty).

USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE

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 identified by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If your not sure, use a magnet
to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom
of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig.

18).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.

This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Fig. 18

MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH
COOKING ZONES

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE

- The 4 Cooking Zones available on the
Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM
pan size to be used at each location
(Fig. 19). The inner ring of each Cooking
Zone is your guide to the correct
MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom
must FULLY cover the inner ring for
proper cooking to occur.

The thicker outer ring at each Cooking
Zone is helpful to determine the pan
MAXIMUM size. After centering the
cookware of the cooktop, make sure the
cookware does not extend more than ½”
beyond the thicker line on the Cooking
Zone (See example in Fig. 19). The pan
must make FULL contact on the glass
surface without the bottom of the pan
touching the metal cooktop trims
(Shown in Fig. 19).

NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking
Zones but is TOO SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone LED will display an
will not heat.

Before Using the Cooktop

USE QUALITY COOKWARE IN GOOD CONDITION

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 21). Be sure to follow all the recommendations
for using cookware as shown in Fig. 20.

Also remember to:

• Use cookware made with the correct material type for

Induction Cooking (See Fig. 18).

• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better
heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.

• The pan size should match the amount of food being
prepared.

• 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).

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

USING THE TOUCH CONTROL

The recommended way to use the touch pads on the cooktop is shown in
Fig. 22. Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad
as shown. If the finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop
may not respond to the selection made.

Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just
use the narrow end of your fingertip.

OPERATING THE COOKING ZONES

The Induction cooktop has four Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be
sure to place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (Fig.

19) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for the amount of food being prepared. Place
the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any of the
Cooktop controls.

To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:

1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired
Cooking Zone. Be sure to center the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering
the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the cookware

POWER SHARING

Your cooktop is equipped with four induction
elements within two heating sections. The
right-hand and left-hand 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 pans are cooking food items
on both right-hand Cooking Zones, the last
Power Level set will be maintained, while the
first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting.

Left-hand

Cooking Zones section

POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level for the food item you wish to
maintain last. Or, you may choose to maintain a constant power level for 2 food items by
placing the pans on one of the Cooking Zones of the left-hand heating section and the other
pan on one of the Cooking Zones of the right-hand heating section (See Fig. 23).

OPERATIONAL NOISES

The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking create some unusual background
noises. These noises are normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.

Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST
level. Very loud noises are not part of normal Induction Cooking.

General Care & Cleaning

CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® Cleaning Creme
to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning 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.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal
markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immedi-
ately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal
marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark or
scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across
the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the
kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do
not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause
it to crack.

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use
a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area
using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

General Care & Cleaning

CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CERAMIC GLASS
COOKTOP (CONTINUED)

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements
OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same
method for heavy or burned on soils.

Fig. 26

Do not use the following on the ceramic cooktop (See Fig. 26):

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils

• Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum

cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.

Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil
dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.

ENTIRE COOKTOP DOES NOT OPERATE

• Cooktop controls are locked. Set the cooktop controls to unlock the Cooktop (See p. 17
for further instructions).

• Make sure household electrical circuit breaker is ON and that power is properly supplied
to the Cooktop.

• Service wiring not complete. Contact installation agent or dealer.

• Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call local electric company.

COOKTOP TURNS OFF WHILE COOKING

• The automatic shut-off feature will turn all of the Cooking Zones and the entire
Cooktop OFF after any Cooking Zone has been in continuous use for 18 hours.

• Cooktop internal heat sensor has detected high temperatures inside the appliance. Be
sure the appliance vent holes are not blocked. (Refer to the Installation Instructions

supplied with the cooktop for more detailed cooktop installation information).

• Fluids spilled or object lying on controls area of cooktop. Clean spills or remove object.
Repower cooktop.

COOKING ZONE DOES NOT HEAT FOOD

• No cookware was placed on the Cooking Zone or cookware material type incorrect for
Induction Cooking (See Figs. 18 & 20).

• Cookware bottom not large enough for Cooking Zone (See Fig. 19).

• Cookware is warped or in poor condition (See Figs. 20 & 21).

• Cookware is not centered on Cooking Zone (See Fig. 20).

• Cookware resting on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on cooktop surface (See
Figs. 19 & 20).

• No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire cooktop does not operate" in
this checklist.

• Incorrect Cooking Zone control setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the Cooking
Zone being used.

22

Solutions to Common Problems

COOKING ZONE HEATS FOOD TOO HOT OR NOT HOT ENOUGH

• Incorrect power level setting. Adjust the power level setting higher or lower and refer to
recipe for guidance and adjust accordingly.

FOOD DOES NOT HEAT EVENLY

• Lightweight or warped pans were used. Be sure to use good quality cookware (Refer to
Figs. 20 & 21).

• Use only flat bottom, evenly balanced medium or heavyweight cookware. Heavy and
medium weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may
burn more easily (See pages 12 & 13 for further information).

• Adjust Cooking Zone power level setting until the proper amount of heat is obtained.

POOR COOKING RESULTS

• Many factors affect cooking results. Adjust the recipe's recommended power levels or
cooking times.

• Cookware is too lightweight or warped. Use heavier quality cookware so foods being
prepared may cook more evenly.

cooktop cleaning creme to remove the marks. See "Cooktop Cleaning & Maintenance" in
the General Care & Cleaning section (Refer to ps. 19 & 20).

SCRATCHES OR ABRASIONS ON CERAMIC
COOKTOP GLASS

• Coarse particles such as salt or sand between cooktop and cookware or cooking utensils
can cause scratches. Be sure cooktop surface and bottoms of utensils are clean before
