Before Using the Cooktop
Induction Cooktop Features
A COOLER COOKTOP - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically detects if a pan is magnetic; if it is not, the Cooking Zone will not activate.
PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan detection sensor automatically adapts the size of Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power boils more quickly and simmers more evenly.
Use the Correct Cookware Type
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for
Induction cooking (Fig. 5).
Fig. 5
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Use Quality Cookware in Good
Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6). Be sure
to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as shown on pages 6 & 7.
Fig. 6
Also remember to:
•Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking (Fig. 5).
•Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
•The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
•Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot
holders to protect hands from burns.
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit www. sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning creme leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
