Introduction to Induction Cooking

How Induction Cooking Works

Induction cooking uses high frequency (20-50 K hz) magnetic energy to heat a ferrous metal pan when it is placed over the induction coil. The induction ﬁ elds have no affect on nonmagnetic surfaces such as paper, plastic, or nonferrous metals like aluminum, or copper. Thermal sensors under the glass surface communicate with microprocessor controls for pan sensing and turn-down.

Part one: Coil produces electromagnetic energy

The ﬁ rst component needed is an induction coil or element. The induction coil generates the magnetic ﬁ eld needed for induction cooking.

Glass Cooktop Surface

Induction Coil

Part two: Pan uses the energy to produce heat

The second component is the ferromagnetic cooking pan with a bottom constructed of material that will attract a magnet. If a magnet will not stick to the bottom of the pan, it cannot be used for induction cooking.

Induction cooking is very efﬁ cient. The energy created by the induction coil is applied to only the bottom of the pan.

Induction Fields

The contents of the pan are therefore heated more quickly than they would be if heated by a gas ﬂ ame or a traditional radiant heating element.

By heating only the bottom of the pan, the surrounding surface remains cooler than with traditional cooktops.

Testing Bottom of Pan with Magnet

When the proper type of pan is placed over an energized induction coil, a ﬁ eld of magnetic waves will cause the bottom of the pan to heat.

Features:

Easy cleanability• ―Cooktop cleaning is easier

since spills and splatters do not burn on the cooktop, which is about 500°F vs 1200°F for radiant.

Control and responsiveness equal to gas• ―This

induction cooktop gives you instant control of the amount of heat added to the cookware.

Fast and powerful• ―Provides incredibly fast boil

time. 3700 W, 8.5 min. to boil vs 12 to 14 min. for radiant and 14 to 16 min. for gas (18k BTU).

Efﬁ cient performance• ―Induction technology

heats only the pan and its contents, not the kitchen. Efﬁ ciency ratings are: Induction 83%, Radiant 72%, and Gas 38%.

Using the correct size cookware

Each cooking element requires a MINIMUM pan size. If the pan is properly centered, and of the correct material, but is too small for the cooking element, the element cannot be activated. The power level setting displayed will ﬂ ash for approximately 30 seconds, then will turn off.

Cookware larger than the element ring may be used; however, induction heating will only occur above the element.

For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact with the glass surface.

Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim.

For best performance, match the pan size to the element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner will generate less power at any given setting.

– 7 –

(Continued next page)

Use flat-bottomed pans.

Use a griddle.

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Suitable Cookware

Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel and combinations of these materials.

Some cookware is specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work.

Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or slight ridges can be used.

Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly.

For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring.

Cookware “noise”

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 intermitted "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.

A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings.

Do not place wet pans

on the glass cooktop.

Do not use woks with support

rings on the glass cooktop.

Use flat-bottomed woks

on the glass cooktop.

For Best Results

■ Do not place wet pans or lids on the

cooking surface or induction rings.

■ Do not place wet fingers on the glass

cooktop. Wipe up spills on the controls with dry hands.

■ Do not use woks with support rings. This

type of wok will not heat on an induction element.

■ Use only a flat-bottomed wok, available

from many cookware manufacturers. The bottom of the wok should match the diameter of the induction ring to insure proper contact.

■ Some special cooking procedures

require specific cookware such as pressure cookers, deep-fat fryers, etc. Cookware with flat bottoms that match the size of the surface element being used will produce the best results.

To turn on a single surface unit:

Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch the

(+)/(–) pad.

Use the (+)/(–) pad to choose the desired

power setting.

To use the Melt feature:

Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch MELT. The element will automatically set to a predetermined setting and “L” will be displayed.

To use the Simmer feature:

Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch SIMMER. The element will automatically set to a predetermined setting and “3” will be displayed. Adjust, using the (+)/(–) pad to increase or decrease the simmer rate.

To turn off a single surface unit, touch the ON/OFF pad again.

(Continued next page)

Power Boil

Power Boil is the highest power level, designed for large quantity rapid cooking and boiling. Power Boil will operate for a maximum of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it will automatically revert to power level 9.

Power Boil may be repeated after the initial 10 minute cycle.

CAUTION: Do not leave a pot unattended while in the Power Boil mode.

To start the Power Boil power setting:

Place a pan matching the size of the

induction element over the selected indicator ring.

Touch the ON/OFF pad, then touch the

POWER BOIL pad.

The element will be set to the Power

Boil setting and "H" will appear in the display.

Power Sharing

NOTE: If the pan is removed, the display will

ﬂ ash “H”. After 30 seconds, the element will turn off automatically.

Sounds you may hear:

You may hear a slight “buzz” sound when cooking with the or high 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.

Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones. The right and left side cooking zones are powered by separate and independent induction generators. Each generator controls the 2 elements in the zone.

Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost (H). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing. When Boost operation is complete (10 minutes), the other element may be reset to any power level. Both elements can operate simultaneously at normal power level settings of “L” to 9. If the right rear element is operating on power level H and the right front element is set between 7 1/2 to 9, the right front will be reduced to power level 7.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOUR BURNER MODELS:

The elements on the right side share one generator. Both elements can operate at any non-Boost (level L to 9) power level at the same time. If the large front element is set for "H" or Boost, the smaller element at the right rear will be deactivated or turned off automatically. The smaller right rear element can be activated and set for any power level after the Boost operation of the larger element is completed (10 minutes).

HOT COOKTOP

Using the "L" Low Setting

CAUTION: Do not warm food on the “L” power level for more than two hours.

HOT COOKTOP

Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may melt onto the surface and be very difﬁ cult to remove.

Use only cookware recommended for this cooktop.

Hot Cooktop Indicator Light

A HOT COOKTOP indicator light (one for each cooking element) will glow immediately when any element is activated. The indicator light(s) glow when the glass surface is hot, and will remain on until the surface has cooled to a temperature that is safe to touch.

Place a pan with food onto the induction element. The pan size should match the indicator ring.

Touch the ON/OFF pad. “5” will ﬂ ash in the display.

Touch the (-) pad until the display reads “L.” A sound will beep.

The Low setting will keep hot, cooked food at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use to heat cold food.

Placing uncooked or cold food on surface element set for Low could result in foodborne illness.

For best results, all food set for Low should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil. Pastries or breads should be vented to allow moisture to escape.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the element set for Low as cookware and plates will be hot.

WARNING: FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in food at temperatures below 140°F.

• Always start with hot food. Do not use warm settings to heat cold food.

• Do not warm food for more than 2 hours.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in food borne illness.

Operation Overview

The controls for the oven system consist of a key panel touch-ﬁ lm-on-glass assembly and main logic board with its model-select resistor plug located in the control panel. There is also one RTD oven sensor, optional meat probe, and a motor door lock assembly with position switches. The oven and warming drawer are controlled by relays found on the RPSM main board.

There are four induction cooktop coils. The controls for the cooktop module consist of two burner touch boards connected to and working through the main logic board. The main logic board is connected via the local interconnect network (LIN) serial wire to the cooktop module and a relay power supply board (RPSM) located on the back of the unit.

A ﬁ fth cooktop element is a resistive warmer controlled by RPSM relays. (See

and Wiring Diagrams.) No relay boards or line

BOOST MODE AND POWER SHARING

The induction coils on the left side are paired for power sharing and both cannot be used simultaneously on “H.” The last coil set to “H” will remain on “H” and the other coil will reduce to power level “7½.” The induction coils on the right side are likewise paired for power sharing. The last coil set to “H” will remain on “H” and the other coil will reduce accordingly (RF coil will reduce to “7” and the RR coil will shut off).

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 08Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If the electrical service provided does not meet the above speciﬁ cations, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

WARNING: ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS, MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR UL-LISTED RANGE CORD.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50-amp range cord is not recommended but, if used, it should

be marked for use with nominal 1

-in. diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, ﬂ exible service conduit or cord must be used.

Electrical Requirements

Caution: For personal safety, do not use an

extension cord with this appliance.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as speciﬁ ed on the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the left-hand side of the lower oven front frame.

Anti-Tip Bracket

WARNING: The range must be secured by the anti-

tip bracket supplied. Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped by stepping or sitting on the doors. Injury may result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.

An anti-tip bracket is supplied with instructions for installation in a variety of locations. The instructions include all necessary information to complete the installation. Read the safety instructions and the instructions that ﬁ t your situation before beginning installation.
