SAFETY DURING USE

••This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

••Take care when plugging in electric appliances near the cooktop. Cords must not come into contact with the hot surface. This could cause damage to the cooktop and cable insulation.

••After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

••Always keep the control display panel clean and dry.

Do not let liquids or grease remain on the cooktop display area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean the display area thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.

••Avoid placing metal cooking utensils on the cooking surface areas. Metal objects can become hot and cause burns.

6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

••Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

••Use Proper Pan Sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size.

••Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the cooking zones. The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected cooking zones to operate without a pan present.

••Do not place any object on or near the display area in order to prevent accidental activation of the cooktop controls.

••Cookware 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 cookware, the handles of cookware should be positioned so that they are turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.

••Never leave prepared food on the cooking zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

••Protective liners: Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.

••Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due

to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

••Do not clean or operate a 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.

••Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause glass to break.

••Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

••Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)

••Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

••Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

NOTE

Keep pets away from the product to avoid risk of fire or burns. Do not allow pets to climb on the product even when it is not in operation.

••Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling is not always present when the container is removed from the cooktop.

This could result in very hot liquids suddenly boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid.

To reduce the risk of injury to persons.

-Do not overheat the liquid.

-Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

-Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

-After heating, allow the container to stand on the cooktop for a short time before moving the container.

-Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container after heating.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7

SAFETY WHEN CLEANING

••Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

••For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.

••Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

••Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

••Clean cooktop cautiously. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a proper metal scraper.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY

••Cook meat and poultry thoroughly-meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illnesses.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE

••Prior to using the cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking.

The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

••Do not use the cooktop as a worksurface or storage space.

••Please be careful at the edges when moving pots and pans.

••Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.

••Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element.

••Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.

••Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on glass.

••If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

••Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.

••Keep meltable objects or materials away from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminum foil, or cooking wraps.

If any materials or foodstuffs melt on the ceramic-glass surface, these should be cleaned up immediately.

NOTE

There is a risk of burning yourself when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!

••Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on the bottom.

••Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop surface.

••Refer to the owner's manual for proper cleaning and maintenance of the cooktop.

Introduction to Induction Cooking 9

INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING

How Induction Cooking Works

An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass cooking

surface generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and

pans.

Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the cooking zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop

does become hot when heat is transferred from the cookware.

IMPORTANT

•• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones.

•• Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g., credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use.

•• Do not put any metal objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the cooking zones as they can become hot when the cooking zones are in use.

Induction Cookware

NOTE

Before using the induction cooking elements, carefully read and follow these cookware recommendations and the instructions in the pan sensing sections.

When purchasing pans for use on the induction cooktop, look for cookware identified by the manufacturer as "induction ready" or "induction capable", or that is marked by the manufacturer as specifically designed for induction cooking.

The base material of the cookware must be magnetic for the cooking elements to activate. Use a magnet to check if the cookware base material is suitable. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be used for induction cooking.

For the best possible surface cooking results, use only high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on the induction cooking elements. Follow manufacturer's recommendations when using induction cookware.

Induction Cookware Types

The three most common induction cookware types available are stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain- enamel-coated metals.

•• Stainless Steel is generally excellent for induction cooking. It is durable, easy to clean, and resists staining.

NOTE

Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic; stainless steel is not always suitable for induction cooking.

•• Cast iron cooks evenly and is also good for induction cooking. Do not slide cast iron cookware on the cooktop; cast iron cookware with a rough surface will scratch the ceramic cooktop.

•• Porcelain-enamel-coated metals have variable heating characteristics depending on the quality of the base metal. Make sure the porcelain-enamel coating is smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic cooktop.

10 Introduction to Induction Cooking

Incompatible Cookware

•• Aluminum, nickel-silver pots

•• Heat-resistant glass pots

•• Roasting pans

•• Stone pots

•• Stainless steel pots (without the IH mark)

−−Without the IH mark, heating may not work well.

•• Pots with partially magnetic base

−−Even if there is an IH mark, a container that only has magnetic material on part of the bottom of the container may not be automatically detected or the product may not work properly.

Material that sticks to the magnet

Material that does not stick to magnet

•• A pot with legs

•• A pot with a round bottom

−−The smaller contact area may give poor results.

•• Do not use a container with a flat bottom surface smaller than the burner size.

Noises during Cooktop Operation

The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some background noises. You may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction cooking process and are considered normal.

Some cookware will buzz, depending on the construction or base material. The buzz may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold. As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The noise will also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.

NOTE

•• When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more noticeable while cooking in Boost mode. But very loud noises are not normal when induction cooking.

•• The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the temperature of the product, even when the surface elements are not being used.

•• Cookware that is not marked "IH" may make a loud noise.

•• Under certain conditions, your cookware may produce a high-pitched whistling noise when two elements are in use at the same time.

The power levels at which this occurs may vary depending on the kind of cookware being used. Change the power level to eliminate the noise or reduce its volume.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time required to preheat cookware compared to cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.

Pay close attention to all food items while cooking on the cooktop and until all cooking processes are complete.

CAUTION

Remember that induction surface cooking initially heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the cookware does not contain food.

Use Flat-Bottomed Cookware

	Cookware must fully contact the
	surface of the cooking element.
	Use flat-bottomed pans sized	Pan Size
	to fit the cooking element and

amount of food being prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

	cooking zone
	Flexible	4.7" x 10.6"(120 mm x 270 mm)
	cooking zone

•• The Center area is a Dual Cooking Zone which activates single or dual elements depending on pot/ pan size. If the cooktop detects cookware that is less than 9” in diameter, only the inner ring (single element) will activate. If it detects cookware larger than 9” in diameter, it will activate both the inner and outer rings (dual element)

•• To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at least 9" in diameter so that the center dual element is activated, and turn off all other elements.

Minimum Cookware Size

•• Use cookware with a bottom surface diameter of 5.5” (140 mm) or greater.

•• For Flexible Cooking Zone, minimum cookware size is 4.7” x 10.6” (120 mm x 270 mm)

Cookware Placement

Use the proper cookware and place it correctly on the cooktop. One or more of the cooking elements will not heat if any of the incorrect conditions shown is detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.

Correct

•• Cookware is centered correctly on surface of cooking element.

•• Pan has flat bottom and straight sides.

•• Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for the cooking element.

•• Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.

•• Pan is properly balanced.

Incorrect

•• Cookware is not centered on surface of cooking element.

•• Pan has curved or warped bottom or sides.

•• Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the cooking element used.

•• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.

•• Pan is unbalanced by heavy handle.

Avoiding Scratches

Use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on your ceramic cooktop surface. This will help reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.

Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface.

Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic cooktop surface to prevent scratching.

Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop may alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches can make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Scratches can also result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.

For Best Results:

Always follow the recommendations for proper cookware type and size. In addition:

•• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the pans are clean and dry.

•• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use large pots so that nothing can boil over.

•• 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.)

•• Match the pan size and cooking zone to the amount of food being prepared.

Tips for Saving Energy:

•• Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.

not aligned

bottom not flat

handle too heavy

•• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more electricity.

•• Whenever possible, place lids firmly on pots and pans so that they are completely covered.

•• The base of the pot should be the same size as the cooking zone.

Tips for Induction Cooking

Getting the results you want when cooking can take a bit of time and effort. If you are not familiar with induction cooking, it may take a bit of practice or adjusting of your usual methods to achieve the expected results. Using the cooking chart and these cooking tips as a guide, you will soon be enjoying the benefits of induction cooking.

•• The quantity or quality of some foods can affect their cooking times.

•• When safe, allow food to come to room temperature before cooking to take advantage of induction's ability to heat food quickly.

•• Cookware heats up very quickly when induction cooking. Check food or liquids occasionally and stir or reduce heat to avoid scorching, overcooking, splattering, or boilovers.

•• Sauces, soups, and stews may heat up more quickly than you are used to and boil over if not watched. For best results, stir frequently.

•• Overcooked food loses moisture and tastes dry, while undercooked food can cause illness. For best results, use a thermometer to ensure that food is heated to a safe internal temperature.

•• Use nonstick or seasoned pans when cooking to reduce the amount of additional fat added to a recipe.

•• Don't overcrowd cookware. To avoid slow cooking times and poor results, use cookware that is appropriately sized for the amount of food you are cooking.

•• When boiling water on the center element, an 11” diameter pot gives the best performance and saves the most time.

•• Use the Boost setting to quickly boil water, or whenever you need extra heating power in one element.

•• To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at least 9" in diameter so that the center dual element is activated, and turn off all other elements.

•• To prevent damage to the product, if one of the rightside elements is turned on when the center dual element is using the Boost setting, the power setting of the center dual element is automatically reduced to power level 9. To maintain the Boost setting on the center dual element, use any of the left-side elements instead.
