IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
■
CAUTION:
cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on the
cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly
■
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the
■
Room.
■ Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
cooktop.
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
■
should never be worn while using the cooktop.
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
■
cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
■ Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be
stored near surface units.
■ Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
■ Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
■ DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces
facing the cooktop.
■ Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
Do not store items of interest to children in
■ Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
■
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
■
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface units.
■ Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
■
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
For units with ventilating hood –
■ Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
■ When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For units with coil elements –
■ Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in
Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
■ Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of
electric shock, or fire.
■ Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.

Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking
surface cooler than a traditional element.
Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning
off the power.
Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning
after use because the heat is created in the pan.
Pan size, material (see the “Cookware” section), and positioning are very important to achieve maximum wattage.
The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.
If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.

Ceramic Glass
Cleaning off the induction cooktop before and after each use will
help keep it free from stains and provide the most-even heating.
For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.
■ Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping
a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on
the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
■ For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills
and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool
down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the
spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are
allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop
and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
■ To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware
across the cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any
part of the entire cooktop.
■ To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop
as a cutting board.
■ Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed,
or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
■ Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the
ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.

To Stop Both the Cooking Area and Linked Timer:
1. Make sure the timer symbol for the desired cooking area is
lit up. If it is not, touch the Timer “+” and “-” keypads at the
same time until it is.
2. Touch the On/Off keypad for the desired cooking area to
stop the timer and turn off the cooking area, or touch the
Power keypad to stop all timers and turn off the entire
cooking zone.

■ To determine which pan to use on which induction element,
measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not
include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement
to help determine which induction element would best fit
your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are
usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom
may be smaller.
■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.
Ferromagnetic materials include:
■ Enameled steel
■ Cast iron
■ Stainless steel designed for induction cooking
Non-ferromagnetic materials include:
These types of pans will not work with induction cooking:
■ Stainless steel
■ Glass
■ Ceramic
■ Copper or aluminum pans
To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction
cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of
the pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the
bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for
induction cooking.
COOKTOP CARE
General Cleaning
IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and
the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning
products.
Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first
unless otherwise noted.
The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will
flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, the pan is
not made of the correct material, or it is not the correct size. It
will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface
cooking area or when the surface cooking area is turned off.
Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a
well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy
thickness.
Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area.
The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size
of the flexible cooking area or the bridge cooking area. See the
“Flexible Size Cooking Area” section or the “Bridge” section for
more information.
NOTE: Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across
the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the
base.
Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.
2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the
affected areas.
CERAMIC GLASS
Cleaning Method:
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive
powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.
1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.
■ For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the
cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is
recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping
the warm cooktop.
■ Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle
against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will
be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the
residue.
Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before
proceeding to Step 2.
■ Rub Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the
blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to
remove stubborn stains.
■ Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before
proceeding to Step 3.
3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.
■ Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn
or burned-on stains.
The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order and
includes the following:
■ Cooktop Scraper
■ Cooktop Cleaner
■ Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads
See the “Accessories” section for part numbers and information
on ordering.
