IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place pan of food on the element before turning it

on, and turn the element off before removing the pan.

• Use Proper Pan Size=This appliance is equipped with

one or more surface burners of different sizes. Select

utensils having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the

surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of surface heating unit to direct contact and

may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface will also improve efficiency.

- Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward

and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface

Units--To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of

flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil

should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface unit.

- Do not use Searing Grill on the cooktop--The

Searinggrillisnotdesignedforuseon the cooktop.

Doing so may result in a fire.

- Never Leave Surface Units Unattended--Boilovers

cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

= Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line

oven bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only

use aluminum as recommended for baking if used as a

cover placed on the food. Any other used of protective

liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric

shock or fire or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop 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.

Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers,

If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.

FOR 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 Glass 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.

• Avoid Scratching the Cooktop Glass with Sharp
Objects.

• 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).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USING YOUR OVEN

. Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warm

8=Serve Drawer (if equipped)--Stand to the side
of the appliance when opening the door/drawer of a

hot appliance. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven/drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is

vented at the front above the oven door. Touching the

surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may
cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-

sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.

appliance is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack

before removing rack. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use pot holders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let

pot holders contact the hot oven element or interior of

the oven/Warm & Serve Drawer (if equipped).

Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler

pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.

Do not cover the broiler grid or oven bottom with
aluminum foil, Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

Induction Element Characteristics (Right

Front and Rear Elements)

A COOLER COOk'TOP- A unique feature of the Induction

Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF,the cooktop surface
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR- The coil sensor automatically
detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates

accidental "turn-On."
PAN SIZE DETECTION- The pan recognition sensor

automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to
the pan sizes in use.

EFFICIENT = Induction cooking heats faster while using
less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and
when simmering,

About the ceramic glass cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has inductors and radiant surface

elements located below the surface of the glass. The
design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the
surface element underneath. Be sure to match the pan

size with the diameter of the element outline on the
cooktop and only fiat-bottom cookware should be used.

The Element ON indicator lights are located between
the control knobs, on each side of the control panel. It
will glow when its associated surface element is turned
ON. On the induction (right side) controls, the Element
ON indicator light will turn green if the Power Sharing
feature is activated (see the Setting Induction Surface
Controls section for more informations).

The type and size of cookware, the number of surface

elements in use and their settings, are all factors that
will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas
beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the
elements may become hot enough to cause burns.

Pleaseread detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop

cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and

Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care

Guide.

About the radiant surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly.

As the temperature rises, the element will glow red. To

maintain the selected setting the element will cycle on and
off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide
a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For
efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat

to complete the cooking process.

Locations of the surface radiant &
induction elements

Your cooktop is equipped with radiant and induction
surface elements with different wattage ratings. The
ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the element wattage increases.

• Two 7 inch radiant elements are located at the left front
and rear positions.

- One mid-position radiant element located between left
front and rear element. Connects with front element to

form Bridge element.

- One 6 inch induction element located at the right rear

position.

- One 10 inch induction element located at the right front

position.

Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element

to cycle ON and OFF, even at the HI setting. This helps

to prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling

at the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware

is too small for the radiant element or if the cookware

bottom is not fiat.

Be sure to read detailed instructions for ceramic glass

cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning
section and Before You Call checklist section of this
Use and Care Guide.

Cooktop ON & Element ON indicator lights

Your appliance is equipped with two different types of

surface indicator lights (see Feature at a Glance section

for locations) that will glow on the control panel; the

Cooktop ON indicator light and the Element ON indicator
lights.

The Cooktop ON indicator light is located on the control

panel between the warmer zone touch pads and the
upper left radiant element control knob and will glow
when any surface element is turned ON.

Using proper cookware with radiant
elements

The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow
the recommendations for using proper cookware as
illustrated in Figures 1 & 2.

Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire surface heating element (Figure

1). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 2).

Cookware material types for radiant

elements

The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly

heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:

Aluminum= Excellent heat conductor. Some types
of food will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum
cookware resists staining & pitting). If aluminum pans
slide across the ceramic glass cooktop, they may leave

metal marks which will resemble scratches. Remove

these marks immediately.
Copper= Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily. May

leave metal marks on ceramic glass (see Aluminum above).

Stainless steel= Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking

results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.

Cast iron= A poor heat conductor however will retain

heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.

Porcelain=enamel on metal= Heating characteristics
will vary depending on base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic
cooktops.

Glass= Slow heat conductor. Not recommended for
ceramic cooktop surfaces because it may scratch the

glass.

Cookware recommendations for
inductions elements

Be sure to follow the following recommendations for
using cookware as shown:

Figure 2

Also remember to:

- Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking.

- Usequality 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.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while

turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The

glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred

from the cookware and burns may occur.

DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.

Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of

the ceramic cooktop.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly
with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.

ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1
may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic

cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of
these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will

not heat indicated by a flashing power level in the digital
display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before

attempting to reactivate the 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 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.

Use the correct cookware type for induction
elements

For the induction zones, 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 you are 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. 1).

Fig. 1

Use the correct coole_are size for induction

elements

The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop

require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.
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 on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does

not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the
glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the

metal cooktop trims.

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.

Operational Noise
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.

If a pan made of the correct material iscentered properly
on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL,

the power level will flash in the in the digital display and

the pan will not heat. After 3 minutes, an "Er" error code

w!!l be d!sp!ayed unti! the contro!s are set to O1=!=-.........................................

The electronic surface element control

(ESEC)

The ElectronicSurfaceElementControl (ESEC)feature includes

digital display windows. The ESECfeature provides a numeric
digital setting for the radiant surface element positions on the

cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob
setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in

digital windows.

The available ESEC display settings

The ESECcontrol provides various heat levels from Hi (Figure

2) to Lo (Figure 5) and OFF (Figure 1). The settings between
3,0 and 9,5 increase or decrease in increments of .5 (1/2).

The settings between 1,2 and 3,0 are Simmer settings which

decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to Lo (Figure 5;
lowest Simmer setting) for more precise settings at lower heat
levels.Usethe RecommendedSurfaceSetting Chartto determine

the correct setting for the kind of food you are preparing.

Power Boost Indicator Message (Pb)

When an induction zone isfirst set at Hi, the Power Boost

feature will turn on (see Fig. 6). The Power Boost feature

is used to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking
temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power Boost
feature will give you up to 139% power output for a set

amount of time (approx. 10 min).

Power failure indicator message (PF)

When the range isfirst plugged in or when the power supply to
the range has been interrupted, the ESECcontrol willdisplaythe

message "PF" (Power Failure; Figure 7). After a few seconds
the "PF" message will disappear from the display.

Hot element indicator message (HE)

After using any ofthe element positionsthe cooktopwill become
very hot. Evenafter turning the controlknobto OFF,thecooktop

will remain hot for some time. The ESECcontrolmonitors the
temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE"

(hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to
touch (Figure 4). If the HE message appears in the window,

the control can still be turned ONagain for use.

Error indicator message (Er)

An error message will be displayed (glowing "Er") at power up

(or after a power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs

were left in the ON positions (Figure 8). If a power failure

should occur, be sure to set all of the surface control knobs
to the OFF position. This will reset the surface controls.

Also, if the induction sensors cannot detect a pan made of the

correct material or if the pan is not centered properly or if the

pan istoo small, the power level will flash in the digital display

and the pan will not heat. After 3 minutes, an "Eft' error code

will be displayed until the controls are set to OFF.

Lockout Feature ( - - )

The ESECfeature will not operate during a Self=Cleancycle

or when the Lockout feature is active. Whenever the Lockout
feature is active," - -" will appear in any ESECdigital display

windows (See Figure 9) to show that all surface elements can

not be activated.

The elements have a limiter that allows the element to

cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to
prevent damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at

the HI setting is normal and can occur if the cookware

is too small for the element or if the cookware bottom
is not fiat.

Single radiant surface element

The cooktop has 1 SINGLE radiant surface element: the
left rear position (Figures 1), The left rear element may
also be used with the Bridge element,

To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements
1, Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface

element.

2. Push in and turn the surface contro! knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 2). Start most

cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn
to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates
the cookware is too small for the surface heating
area.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Bridge surface radiant element

The cooktop is equipped with a "BRIDGE" surface element

located at the left front and middle (Fig. 1) positions.

The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular

(like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element

will maintain an even temperature setting across both

portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware,
the Bridge element can work like a single element without
the Bridge (Fig. 4). The • symbol indicates that only the

front potion wilt heat (Fig. 2). The _ symbol indicates that

both front and middle portions will heat (Fig. 3). You may
switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element

1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface
element.

2. Push in and turn the control knob as shown in Figure

2 to heat the front portion of the Bridge element for

normal shaped cookware or in Figure 3 for larger
or rectangular shaped cookware. Turn the knob to
adjust the setting if needed. Start most cooking
operations on a higher setting and then turn to a

lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element

provides a constant amount of heat at each setting.
A glowing red surface heating area extending

beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates
the cookware istoo small. Please note that not all

cookware will fit the Bridge element correctly.

3. When cooking has completed, turn the surface
control knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination
with the left rear single element (Fig. 6). Because these
elements have 2 different controls, one element can be

used to cook while the other element may be used to
keep food warm.

Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper
shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
cooktop when it is in use, These items could melt or

ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch

if placed too close to the surface elements.

Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass

cooktop, If these items melt on the cooktop they will

damage the ceramic cooktop.

The surface"Element On" indicator lights will glow when
one or more elements are turned on. A quick glance at

these indicator lights when cooking is finished is an easy
check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.

Operating the induction surface elements
The cool<top is equipped with 2 induction surface elements:
the RIGHT FRONTand REAR positions (Figure 1).

To Operate the Induction Surface Elements

1. Place the correctly sized cookware of the proper
material on the induction surface element.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 2).

Note: Turning the knob from Off to Hi will activate the

Power Boost feature. The Power Boost feature is used
to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking

temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power
Boost feature will give you up to 139% power output
for a set amount of time (approx. 10 min).

3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting.

4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.

Power Sharing

Your cool<topis equipped with two induction elements
within one heating section. The heating section is powered
by an independent induction inverter. The two cooking
zones in the heating section share the power of the
inverter. This is called Power Sharing.

For example, if pans are cooking food items on both
Cooking Zones, the last Power Level set will be maintained,
while the first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting. The element ON indicator light will
turn GREEN when power sharing is enabled.

POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level
for the food item you wish to maintain last (See Fig. 3).
