SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

—

When you press ON, select a power level and center a cast iron or steel pan on the cooking surface, the induction coil circuit detects the pan and allows the induction coil to be activated.

This high-frequency coil, located just below the

cooking surface, produces a magnetic field that causes the electrons in the ferrous metal pan to vibrate, which produces heat.

The pan begins to heat immediately and, in turn, heats the contents of the pan.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. The only

heat produced is that which is transferred from the cooking pan, and no heat is generated unless a pan is placed on the cooking surface.

FEATURES OF YOUR COOKTOP

The power comes on right away, for precise cooking control. No time is lost waiting for the cooking unit to heat. And no cool-down time is required after cooking.
