can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

You instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

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.

■ 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation.

This induction cooktop may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by:

Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television. Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the receiver. Connecting the receiver into a different outlet.

It is the user’s responsibility to correct any interference. NOTE: People with a pacemaker or similar medical device should use care when standing near this induction cooktop while it is on. The

electromagnetic field may affect the pacemaker or similar device. Consult your doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields of the induction cooktop.

COOKTOP USE

This manual covers different models. The cooktop you have purchased may have some or all of the features listed.

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 “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.

A. Single size B. Dual size

The dual size surface cooking area comprises two cooking areas. If the size of the pan is the same as the single size surface

cooking area, the cooking area will work as a single size cooking area.

If the pan is slightly larger than the single size cooking area, it may only activate part of the dual size cooking area. This will result in the burner being less efficient and increase the heating time.

If the size of the pan is the same as the dual size surface cooking area, the dual size cooking area will activate automatically.

Cooktop Power Off

The Cooktop Power Off key turns off all surface cooking areas at once.

Touch and hold COOKTOP POWER OFF until the indicator goes out. This turns off all the surface cooking areas. The hot surface indicator “H” stays on the display until the surface cooking areas have cooled down.

Ceramic Glass

Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating. For more information, see “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. Aluminum or copper bottoms and rough finishes on cookware or bakeware could leave scratches or marks on 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 cookware about the same size as the surface cooking

area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

A. Surface cooking area B. Cookware/canner

C. ½" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang

■ 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.

■ Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry

before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Home Canning

IMPORTANT: Aluminum canners or canners that are not completely flat on the bottom will not activate the cooking surface area. See “Cookware” section.

When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

■ Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area.

Canners should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area.

■ Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas at the same

time.

■ For more information, contact your local agricultural

department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

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.

The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, or the pan is not made of the right material, or it is not the right size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place the correct pan on the surface cooking area, the surface cooking area will turn 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 surface cooking area.

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.
