BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
INDUCTION COOKTOP
CHARACTERISTICS
Indu ct ion cook ing is a sa fe, adva nc e d, efc ient, an d ec onomical
cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic eld generat-
ing instant heat directly in the cookware bottom, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface.
CAUTION
turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass
surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the
cookware and burns may occur.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR
The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates accidental “Turn-On.”
PAN SIZE DETECTION
The pan recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the
Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
EFFICIENT
Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction
power levels are quick to boil the water.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while
COOKWARE
USING COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
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, optimally the cookware will have the
induction compatible symbol on the retail box. Check that the
bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to nd out if they
are suit able.
SELECTING SURFACE COOKING COOKWARE
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have at
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the
Cooking Zone. Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommenda-
tions for using cookware. Use cookware made with the correct
material type for Induction Cooking.
PROPER COOKWARE MATERIAL
• Magnetic stainless steel
• Cast iron
IMPROPER COOKWARE MATERIAL
• Non-magnetic stainless steel
• Bottom measuring less than
4.7 inches (12 cm)
• Pot with stands
ATTENTION:
• 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.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface,
especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop sur-
face 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 difcult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.
• Enameled iron
• Nickel
• Heat resistant glass
• Ceramic container
• Copper
• Aluminum
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless
steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
If the base of the cookware is only partially magnetic, only the
area that is magnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will
not be distributed evenly. The non-magnetic area may not heat
up to a sufcient temperature for cooking.
CAUTION
• The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON
and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may
be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware
and burns may occur.
• DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the
ceramic cooktop.
• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly
with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
E7
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
Be sure to follow the following recommendations for using
cookware:
INCORRECT
• Cookware not centered on Cooking Zone surface.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.
• Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the Cooking
Zone used.
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely
on the cooktop surface.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
CORRECT
Cooking zone outer line
±1/2”
max
min
COOKWARE SIZE GUIDE
The thick outer line at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine
the pan MINIMUM size as well as the pan MAXIMUM size.
After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the
cookware does cover 1/2” inside of the thick outer line and does
not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking
Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface
without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trims.
NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2” (13 mm) from outer
Cooking Zone (Induction).
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any
of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the power level
will ash in the in the digital display and the pan will not heat.
• Cookware centered correctly on Cooking Zone surface.
• Flat pan bottom & straight sides.
• Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size
for the Cooking Zone.
• Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.
• Pan is properly balanced.
NOTE: ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed may be
detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop
surface. If the cookware does not meet any of these conditions,
one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat indicated by a
ashing power level in the digital display for that affected zone.
Correct the problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE SIZE
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require
a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.
COOKTOP NOISE
The induction elds are generated by electronics equipment,
which produce heat at a high power level. A soft-sounding cooling fan runs when the unit is running multiple cooking zones.
Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware.
Some of the possible causes include:
• Clicking noise may be heard at low power settings. This is
due to the magnetic elds in use, which is considered normal
operation.
• The operational noises may be different with various cookware used on the cooktop.
• Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less
noise than a lighter weight stainless steel pan; Light weight
cookware may also vibrate. Heavy weight quality cookware
is recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate
audibly on the ceramic glass surface, though again typically
only at high power settings.
• A “cracking” noise may be heard if the cookware base is
made of layer of different material.
• A low “humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is
normal particularly at high power settings.
• Whistling can occur if both cooking zones are being used
at the same time at the high settings, and the cookware has
bases made of layer of different material.
• Loose-tting handles on cookware, typically when riveted
on, can vibrate slightly.
• High quality cookware of solid cast iron including enamelware will lower the noise.

sections, the right side and left side. In each cooking section, the
cooking zones share power of one induction inverter.
Power sharing is activated when multiple cooking zones
in the same area are turned on, and the controls adjust the
power automatically for “Power Sharing”. This power sharing is
administered by the unit's microprocessors, which will alternate
power in one area.
Power sharing tips: To maintain full setting heat for two items,
place one item on a cooking zone in one section (left side), and
the other item on a cooking zone in another section (right side).
