SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. Size, shape, and construction
are all factors for suitable cookware.
1. Suitable Cookware: the base of the cookware must be made of ferrous magnetic materials
including cast iron, carbon steel, magnetic stainless steel or cast aluminum with an induction
rated base.
2. Unsuitable Cookware: will cause an E0 error and the cooktop will not operate.
3. In general, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on your induction
cooktop. A magnet is included for you to use to test your cookware.
4. If proper cookware is not available we offer an Induction Interface Disk (#6010) that will provide
the necessary connectivity between the induction cooktop and your non-suitable cookware. It is
normal for reduced efficiency when using the Interface Disk.
NOTE: Different types of cookware and sizes will result in varying wattage/heat efficiency. For maximum
efficiency, do not use cookware with a base larger than 14” or a combined weight over 60 lbs.

Start-Up

2. Place the unit on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from other objects to allow proper
ventilation.

use only one appliance per outlet. A red LED above ON/OFF will appear indicating the cooktop is
ready to use.
4. Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the cookware and place it on the
glass plate centered over the COOKWARE PLACEMENT GUIDES.
5. Touch the ON/OFF symbol to turn the unit on. The LCD DISPLAY will illuminate and the default

Controls
All operations are easily controlled using the touchpad and PUSH TO SET CONTROL KNOB. The
control knob will increase or decrease your selection by turning the knob. Once a desired setting is
reached, push the knob to select it.
POWER LEVEL/TIMER MODE (10-watt settings)
This is the default mode. Use this mode for quick heat-up and where close temperature control is not
a requirement. The higher the Power Level, the more wattage applied to the cookware and increased
heating rate. Cookware will respond differently depending on type and size.
1. Touch the POWER LEVEL/TIMER symbol to select this mode. The default PL-1 will flash in the
LCD window. Use the CONTROL KNOB to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clockwise)
the power as needed. Push the KNOB to lock in the setting.
2. Next the TIMER symbol will flash in the LCD window. You will then be able to set the timer from
1-180 minutes. For safety only 180-minutes is available. If 0 is selected or nothing is selected
within a few seconds, the timer function will not be used.
3. Your cooktop will follow the power level and time settings you selected and turn off when
finished. You can change the settings at any time by pressing the CONTROL KNOB and repeat
these steps.

ONE-TOUCH & LOCK FUNCTIONS
1. One-touch BOIL function will instantly select the PL-10 setting.

3. Touch the LOCK symbol at any time to lock in your desired setting. To unlock, touch and hold the
LOCK symbol for 2 seconds or power the unit off and restart.
TEMP LEVEL/TIMER MODE (21 settings)
This mode is best when more accurate cooking temperature control is needed. It is important to
realize that the following settings measure the temperature of the base of your cookware and not the
temperature of the food you are cooking.
NOTE: For more precise temperature control, go to the TEMPERATURE PROBE section below.
1. Touch the TEMP LEVEL/TIMER symbol to select this mode. The default 100° temperature will
flash in the LCD window. Use the CONTROL KNOB to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) the temperature as needed. Push the KNOB to lock in the setting.
Temperature settings will increase by 10° from 100° to 200°F and by 25° from 225° to 450°F.
