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.

How it Works

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced

by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes

heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.

Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than induction or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings

away. When

YOU

turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

COOKWARE TO USE

Some of your pots and pans will probably give good results on the induction cooktop. Which ones? Find out this way:

Put a small amount of water in the pan and center it on one of the cooking surfaces. Press the ON/OFF and HIGH pads. If the pan is suitable, it will heat in seconds. If the pan is not suitable, the control display will flash on and off and the pan will not heat.

For information and specific brands of induction cookware, call the GE Answer Center” at 800-626-2000.

Suitable New Cookware

When you shop for suitable new cookware, take a magnet along and test before you buy.

Look for cookware made from magnetic stainless steel, cast iron, enameled steel and combinations of these materials.

Do not use aluminum, or aluminum-clad cookware, copper or copper-clad cookware, aluminum foil, glass/ceramic cookware and some stainless steel that will not attract a magnet.

The bottom of the pan need not be perfectly flat.

Although pans with rims or slight ridges are acceptable, flat-bottomed pans give best results.

Enamel-coated steel or cast-iron cookware may

also be used.

Pan Size

The cooking unit is

surface when the unit is on—items such as steel spatulas, cooking spoons, knives and other small utensils.

Some steel pans have a layer of aluminum in the bottom. Test them carefully with a magnet before

you buy. Some can be used in induction cooking. Others cannot.

Round pans give best results. Square or rectangular pans do not heat evenly.

:,,

We do not recommend frying pans over 10%” in diameter for foods that are not stirred or moved around in the skillet while frying—foods such as

fried eggs, French toast or pancakes. The outer edges of an oversize skillet develop less heat than areas within the may be undercooked.

However, foods that are stirred like scrambled eggs, or moved around like chicken, can be cooked successfully in skillets up to 12” (10%” across the

bottom) because the heat evens out when you stir or

move the food around while it is cooking.

Q. If I do not select a heat setting, what will happen?

A. Fifteen seconds after you press the ON/OFF pad,

the unit will automatically shut off if you have not

selected a heat setting. Press the ON/OFF pad again and then select the desired heat setting to begin cooking.

Q. May I change heat settings more than once

during cooking?

A. Yes, as many times as you wish. Q. Must I add water to my foods before cooking

them?

A. Yes, in some instances such as defrosting frozen vegetables, more water may be needed. Since induction heats the bottom of the pan first and then the sides, the water might tend to evaporate slightly faster.

Q. Is it necessary to have a pan on the unit before

setting the controls?

A. No. However, the control will beep and the display will flash for a minute or until you (a) place proper cookware correctly on the unit or (b) press ON/OFF pad.

—

Q. Should I use a cover when bringing foods to

a boil?

A. Yes, lids help reduce heat loss and shorten cooking time.

Q. Will my food continue to cook after the unit is turned off?

A. Boiling stops quickly when a unit is turned off because there is no surface unit or burner to retain heat.

Q. Does the shape of the pan affect cooking

results?

A. Yes. Only round pans are recommended since square or rectangular pans do not heat evenly. The induction coils generate heat on the surface of the pan, and round pans match best with the round coil of the unit.

Q. Will I hear any sound during cooking? A. You may hear a slight fan noise after the unit is

turned on—the sound of cooling air flowing through the cooktop. The noise may also be caused by some types of cookware. It may be lessened by moving it slightly. Some pans produce a slight “pinging” or “buzzing” noise as food is cooking.

Q. What if the cooking surface is accidentally

turned off during cooking?

A. You must reset. Press the ON/OFF pad, then

select the desired heat setting and the unit will

resume cooking.

Q. What will happen if I cook with a large pan that

covers two cooking surfaces-for example, a large griddle?

A. Heat distribution cook satisfactorily.

CARE AND CLEANING

The smooth glass surface of your induction cooktop requires very little care to keep it glossy and new looking.

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it thoroughly

from the packing material. Use a smooth-cooktop cleaner/conditioner and follow package directions.

to remove any dirt or dust

The cooking surfaces may get hot enough spills and boilovers to stick. Spills and spatters wipe off with a damp cloth or sponge. Heavier soil may be removed with warm, soapy water, the cooking unit cleaner/conditioner, or baking soda. Plastic pads may be used

Avoid use of abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powders and soap-filled pads which may scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.

Clean the cooktop regularly to avoid discoloration and stains from soil buildup. Wiping before each use will remove tiny, coarse particles of dust, sugar or salt that may cause scratches if caught between cooking unit and pan. Regular use of a good cooking unit cleaner/conditioner will build a coating to protect the surface from scratches and make it easier to clean.

PREWRING FOR INSTALLATION

When choosing a location, consider the following:

. This cooktop is not approved for installation

over built-in ovens.

. The cooktop should be easy to reach and

lighted with natural light during the day.

● Select a countertop capable of supporting

230 pounds.

. Avoid placing cabinets above cooktop unit, if possible, in order to reduce the hazard caused by reaching over heated surface unit.

● If cabinetry is used above cooktop, allow a

minimum 30” clearance between the cooking surface and the bottom of the unprotected cabinet.

● If clearance between cooktop and cabinetry is

less than 30”, cabinet bottom must be protected with flame retardant

thick, covered with 28 gauge steel or 0.020” thick copper. Clearance between cooktop and

—

protected cabinetry must NEVER BE LESS THAN 24”.

● The hazard can be further reduced by

millboard

at least 1/4”

installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5“ beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

● Working areas adjacent to the cooktop should

have a 15” minimum clearance between countertop and bottom of cabinet. If clearance is less than 15”, adjacent cabinets should beat least 2“ from side edge of cooktop.

● Be sure to position cooktop so that vent grille

will not be blocked.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
