WARNING
Tip-Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor. Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding th
range back such that the foot is engaged.
• Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
• Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns

engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip bracket.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear leveling leg is

Surface Units
How Induction Surface Cooking Works
The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metal pans that are in close proximity.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.
When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.
Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware
CAUTION
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.

enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to deliver full power.
The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on.

WARMING ZONE could result in foodborne illness.
USING THE RANGE:
To turn the WARMING ZONE on, press Warming Zone ON/OFF, select Lo, Med or Hi with the number pads,
and press Start.
For best results, all foods on the WARMING ZONE should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. When warming pastries or breads, the cover should be vented to allow moisture to escape.
The initial temperature, type and amount of food, type of pan, and the time held will affect the quality of the food.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the WARMING ZONE, since cookware and plates will be hot.
How To Synchronize Left Elements
To Turn On
Hold the Sync Burners pad for about half a second to connect the two elements. Operate either element as described in Operating the Cooktop Elements to adjust power level.
To Turn Off

Cookware for Induction Cooktop
Using the correct size cookware
Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow the induction elements to turn on, and the ON indicator for that element location will flash for 25 seconds and then turn off. If a pan is removed from the induction coil or not centered on the coil for more than 30 seconds, the power for that element will be shut off.
Cookware larger than the element ring may be used; however, heat will only occur above the element.
For best performance, match the pan size to the element

Cookware “Noise”
USING THE RANGE: Cookware for Induction Cooktop
Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermittent “hum”. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the elements. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise.
Power Control
If a surface unit is on power level H (high), for an extended period of time or if multiple surface units are on, there may be a slight reduction in power to the surface unit. Water under pans may also cause the controls to reduce the power delivered to the cookware.
10
A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings.
Sounds you may here: You may hear a slight “Buzz” when cooking with Hi mode. This is normal. The sound depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will “Buzz” louder depending on the material. A “Buzz” sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is reduced, the sound level will go down.
