SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not touch glass ceramic surface

elements while cooking. This surface meg

be hot enough to burn even though it meg appear dark in color. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the cooking surface. Note

the hot indicator lights and allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Hot surfaces mag include both the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should

be turned toward the center of the cooktop

without extending over any nearby surface

elements.

Always turn off the surface element control

before removing the cookware. Never leave surface elements unattended

at high heat settings. Boilovers may cause

smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Keep an eye on foods being fried at high

or medium-high heat settings.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and over the sides of the pan. Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can

cause spillovers when food is added. Ifa combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or as

fats melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep-fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

• Never try to move o pan of hot fat, especially o deep-fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• Do not store flammable materials near the cooktop.

• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to ovoid grease fires.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.

• Clean only parts listed in this Owner's Manual.

• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food on the cooktop when not

in use.

• Keep cooktop clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers

which may ignite.

• Never heat unopened food containers.

Pressure buildup may make container burst

and cause injury,

• Never leave jars or cons of fat drippings on or near your cooktop.

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

INDUCTIONSURFACEELEMENTS

Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry.

Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

Do not place or store items on top of the

glass cooktop surface when it is not in use.

Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface

when it is in use. They may become hot

and could cause burns.

Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may

damage the cooktop and the pan. Do not allow water, other liquids or grease

to remain on the cooktop.

Do not operate the glass surface elements if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop

and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should

your glass cooktop become broken. Spilled or burnt-on foods may cause

accidental activation or deactivation of the

keypad. Clean the keypad thoroughly, and controls will resume normal operation.

Clean the cooktop with caution. Always lock the control panel using the control lock feature and wait until the entire glass surface is cool before attempting to clean the cooktop. See the Locking the Cooktop section for details. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface element, be

careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to

a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid

wiping any surface element areas until they

have cooled and the indicator light has gone

off. Sugar spills are the exception to this.

Please see the Cleaning the glass cooktop

section. To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply the cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all the cleaning cream

residue. Read and follow all instructions and

How

induction

cooking

works

Using the

correct size

cookware

The elements beneath the cooking surface

produce a magnetic field that causes the electrons in the ferrous metal pan to vibrate and produce heat.

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 immediatelg and in turn heats the contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware made of ferrous metals-metals

to which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel. Use pans that fit the element size.The pan must

be large enough for the safetg sensor to activate an element.

Eachcooking element requires a MINIMUMpan size. Ifthe panis properlg centered, and of the correct

material,but is too small for the cooking element,

the element cannot be activated. The displagwill flash "F"along with the power levelselected.

The cooktop will not start if a verg small steel or iron utensil {lessthan the minimum size across

the bottom)is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on-items such as steel

spatulas, cooking spoons, knives and other small utensils.

Use the minimum size pan for the element. The pan material is correct if a magnet

sticks to the bottom.

Cookware larger than the element ring mag be

used;however,heat will onlg occur abovethe

element.

Forbest results,the cookware must make FULL

contact with the glass surface.

Donot allow the bottom of the pan or cookware

to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim or to overlap the cooktop controls.

Forbest performance, match the pan sizeto the

element size.Usinga smaller pot on a larger burner will generate less power at anggiven setting.

Choosing

cookware

Use qualit Ucookware 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 specificallg identified bg the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work,

Flat-bottomed pans give best results, Panswith rims or slight ridges can be used,

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

Use flat-bottomed pans.

Use a griddle.

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

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Cookware "noise" Slight sounds mag be produced bg different

tgpes of cookware. Heavier pans suchas enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-pl Ustainless 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 mag interact and produce a low whistle or intermitted

"hum".These noises can be reduced or eliminated bg lowering or raising the power level settings of

one or both of the elements. Pansthat completel U cover the element ring will produce less noise.

A low "humming" noise is normal particularl U on high settings.

For best results

Donot place wet pans or lids on the cooking

surface or induction rings.

Donot place wet fingers on the glass cooktop.

Wipe up spillson the controls with drg hands.

Donot usewoks with support rings.Thistgpe

of wok will not heat on an induction element.

Use onlg a flat-bottomed wok, availablefrom mang cookware manufacturers. The bottom of the wok

should match the diameter of the induction ring to insure proper contact.

Somespecial cooking procedures require specific cookware such as pressurecookers,deep-fat frgers,

etc. Cookwarewith flat bottoms that match the size of the surface element being used will producethe

best results.

Power sharing

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. One generator

controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within a heating section share the power of one generatoE

Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones.

The right and left side have separate cooking

zones and the large center element is another separate cooking 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOUR BURNER

MODELS:

The elements on the right side share one generoto_ Both elements con operate at any

non-Boost (level L to 9) power level at the some 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 onblpower level after the Boost operation

Overheating of the element is caused by placing an empty pan on the element and selecting a high

power level. The element sensor detects very high temperatures (above normal cooking temperatures),

turns offthe power and displays the erroE A second potential cause of this error is a lack of cooling air

to the bottom of the cooktop, which can cause overheating of the electronics. If this situation

occurs, make sure the air inlet below the cooktop is unobstructed.

Touch the ON/OFF pad and allow the cooktop to cool for 30 to 45 minutes before operation

can begin again. If either of these conditions persist, call for service.

IMPORTANT: Ifthe "E" flashes alone, without alternating to a "c" or "o", a hardware error has

occurred. Call for service.

Control lock IMPORTANT: As a convenience, you can lock the

entire cooktop at any time when it is not in use or before cleaning. Locking the cooktop will prevent

surface elements from being turned on accidentally. To lock the cooktop:

Touch and hold the CONTROL LOCK pad for 5 seconds.

A two-beep signal will sound, and the CONTROL LOCK light will glow, indicating that the cooktop is

Observe the following

points in

canning

When canning with water-bath or pressure canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is

because boiling water temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces

surrounding the surface elements.

HOWEVER,DO NOTUSELARGE-DIAMETER

CANNERSOROTHERLARGE-DIAMETERPOTSFOR

FRYINGORBOILINGFOODSOTHERTHANWATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures-and all types of

frying--cook at temperatures much higher than

boiling water. Suchtemperatures could eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.

1 Be sure the canner fits over the center of the

surface element. If your cooktop or its location does not allow the canner to be centered on

the surface element, use smaller-diameter pots for good canning results.

2 Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not

use canners with flanged or rippled bottoms

(often found in enamelware) because they don't make enough contact with the surface elements and take a long time to boil water.

3 When canning, use recipes and procedures

from reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures are available from the

manufacturer of your canner; manufacturers

of glass jars for canning, such as Balland Kerr

brand; and the United States Department

of Agriculture Extension Service,

4 Remember that canning is a process that

generates large amounts of steam. To avoid

burns from steam or heat, be careful when

canning,

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.

NOTE:If your house has low voltage, canning may take longer than expected, even though directions have been carefully followed. The process time will be shortened by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and (2) starting with HOTtap water for fastest

heating of large quantities of water.

CAUTION:

• Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms are destroyed and that the

jars are sealed completely. When canning

foods in a water-bath canner, a gentle but steady boil must be maintained for the

required time. When canning foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be

maintained for the required time.

• After you have adjusted the controls, it isvery important to make sure the prescribed boil or

pressure levels are maintained for the required time.

• Since you must make sure to process the canning jars for the prescribed time, with no

interruption in processing time, do not can on any cooktop surface element if your canner is not flat.
