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

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

ENGLISH

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.

•Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING

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

ENGLISH

The three most common induction cookware types
available are stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain­enamel-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
to fit the cooking element and
amount of food being prepared.
Check for flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom of the
cookware.

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 at 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.

WARNING

Your cooktop has a residual heat indicator for

enough heat to cause burns. Avoid touching
the cooking zone when this indicator is shown.
Although the cooktop is OFF, the popup message
will stay lit until the cooktop has cooled down.

NOTE

If the following pop-up screen appears during
operation, check the following.

•The cookware is not centered within the
cooking zone.

•The cookware is not compatible with induction
cooking.

•There is no cookware on 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning the Cooktop

Normal Daily Use Cleaning

ONLY use Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner on the glass

cooktop. Other creams may not be as effective or
they might damage the surface with scratches or
permanent staining.

To maintain and protect the surface of the glass
cooktop, follow these steps:

Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean

1

it with Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. This helps
protect the top and makes cleanup easier.

Daily use of Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner will help

2

keep the cooktop looking new.

Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few

3

drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.

Use a paper towel to clean the entire cooktop

4

surface.

Rinse with clear water and use a dry cloth or

5

paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.

NOTE

•Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

•Hold the scraper at approximately a 30° angle

to the cooktop.

•The razor scraper will not damage the markings

on the cooking surface.

When the cooking surface has completely

2

cooled, apply a few dime-sized dabs of a
ceramic glass cooktop cleaner in each burner
area. Work the cleaning cream over the cooktop
surface with a damp paper towel. Leave the
cleaner on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off.

Rinse with clean water and wipe the cooktop

3

surface with a clean, dry paper towel.

NOTE

It is very important that you DO NOT heat the
cooktop until it has been cleaned thoroughly.

CAUTION

•DO NOT use scrub pads or abrasive
cleaning pads. They may damage the glass

cooktop surface.

•For your safety please wear an oven mitt or pot
holder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.

Burned-On Residue

While the cooktop is still warm, remove any

1

burnt on deposits or spilled food from the glass­ceramic cooking surface with a suitable metal
razor scraper. To prevent burns, wear an oven
mitt or pot holder while using the metal scraper.

IMPORTANT

•If any sugar or food containing sugar spills, or
plastic or foil melts on the cooktop, remove the
material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor scraper
while the cooking surface is still hot to avoid the
risk of damage to the glass-ceramic surface.
When used correctly, the scraper will not damage
the cooktop surface. For your safety, please use
an oven mitt or pot holder while scraping the hot
cooking surface.

•If water or food containing water spills, remove the
spill IMMEDIATELY with a dry paper towel.

NOTE

ANY DAMAGE OR FAILURE OF THE
PRODUCT RESULTING FROM 1 OR 2 BELOW
MAY NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIMITED
WARRANTY.

1. Sugary spillovers (such as preserves, ketchup,

tomato sauce, jellies, fudge, candy, syrups, or
chocolate) or melted plastics can cause pitting
on the surface of your cooktop.

2. If food or water containing calcium (such as

baking powder, wine, milk, spinach, or broccoli)
is spilled on the cooktop, it can permanently
stain or discolor the surface.
