Your SUMMIT® Induction Cooktop

Thank you for purchasing one of SUMMIT's induction cooktops. This
product is intended to provide you with many years of quality service.
Please read this manual in its entirety to maximize the lifespan and
performance of your appliance.

About Induction Cooking

When you turn on the power of your induction cooktop, coils inside
produce a magnetic field underneath the glass ceramic surface.
When the proper cookware is placed on top of a magnetized cooking
zone, the magnetic field sends currents into the cookware, causing
friction and generating instant heat inside your pot or pan.

We hope you enjoy the speed, efficiency, and safety of this
appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep these instructions handy for future use. If lost, this manual is available from our
website at www.summitappliance.com

Read these instructions carefully before installation or operation of the appliance.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion that causes property
damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury, take
the following precautions:

Safety During Installation

• This appliance must be installed by a qualified technician.

• Have the professional installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse.

• Do not place the unit on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

• See INSTALLATION for additional safety requirements.

Intended Use

• This appliance is for built-in household use only. Do not use outdoors or free­standing.

• Do not use the appliance to heat a room.

Cooking Safety

• Do not allow aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot zone.

• Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.

• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.

• Always use the proper pot and pan size. The use of undersized cookware will expose

a portion of the hot zone, which can result in ignition of clothing or personal burns.

• Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods before heating to avoid
explosion.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to hold the handles of pots and pans.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

Cleaning Safety

• When cleaning with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid burns from steam.

• Do not clean the unit when it is still hot. Some cleaners may produce noxious fumes

when applied to a hot surface.

Condition of Unit

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the

break and create the risk of electric shock.

Felix Storch, Inc. SUMMIT APPLIANCE

Environment of Unit

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not place any heating or cooking appliances beneath the
appliance.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not let any objects (glass, paper, etc.) obstruct the inlet
under your cooktop.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount unit over a sink.

• To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of the appliance

surface when the appliance is in operation.

• Always have a working smoke detector in or near the kitchen.

• Do not leave lids or other metal objects on the cooktop. If the cooktop is turned on,

these objects can heat up quickly and may cause burns.

• Do not place rough or uneven objects on the unit as they may damage the surface.

• If the cooktop is near a window, ensure that curtains do not blow over or near the

unit.

• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface. Certain substances such as salt, sugar, or
sand can scratch the glass ceramic surface.

• Do not store hard or pointed objects over the cooktop as they can damage the unit if
they fall on top.

• Do not put detergents or flammable materials in the equipment installed under the
cooktop.

Power Cord Safety

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or main body in water
or any other liquid.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.

• Do not allow cord to touch hot surface.

• A short power supply cord or detachable power supply cord should be used to

reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

For SINC1110 only: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Service and Repair Safety

• There are no user serviceable parts on this appliance. Only an authorized service
representative should attempt to service your cooktop.

How to Use Your Cooktop

1. Getting Started

Before operating your induction cooktop, clean the surface (see
CLEANING YOUR COOKTOP for instructions) to remove any foreign
substances that may remain from packaging, shipping and installation.

Place usable cooking utensils in the center of the cooking zone and plug
the appliance in. The instruction power light will illuminate.

The following illustration shows a typical control panel for an induction
cooktop:

HEATING

(upper burner)

HEATING

(lower burner)

ON/OFF refers to the appliance power, while HEATING and TIMER refer
to specific functions.

2. Heating

HEATING is the default function of the induction cooktop. When pressing
ON/OFF, the heating light will illuminate and the cooktop will heat the
cookware at 1200W. The heat can be adjusted by touching ▲ and ▼.
There are eight levels of power from 1 to 8, with 8 being the highest.

3. Timer

When pressing TIMER, the light of the TIMER and also the HEATING
light will illuminate accordingly. The cooktop will enter the Time Setting
mode. The timer can be adjusted from 0 to 180 minutes for model
SINC1110 (and from 0 to 99 minutes for the other models) by pressing
▲ and ▼. Five seconds after setting, the window will automatically shift
to the HEATING mode display.

Felix Storch, Inc. SUMMIT APPLIANCE

To view the countdown time, press TIMER again. The display window
will show you the remaining time.

5. Lock

Models manufactured prior to 2009 include a child lock that prevents you
from changing the settings while the appliance is turned on. This child
lock does NOT prevent the appliance from being turned on.

Models manufactured in and after 2009 contain child locks that will
prevent the cooktop power from turning on when touched in locked
mode. To unlock, touch the LOCK key again.

11

Notes on Using Your Cooktop

 This appliance will get hot during use and will remain hot for a time after

use.

 Never heat empty cookware. This can damage both the cookware and

the appliance.

 Remember to turn off cooktop after use. If left on, the ventilator will

continue to operate, causing a waste of energy.

 Keep unit away from a gas range or other heat source. If the

surrounding temperature is too hot, the cooktop will stop heating.

 Make sure to wipe off water from the bottom of the pot before heating.



Use caution when boiling water. During the boiling process, hot water
may splash out.

SUMMIT APPLIANCE Felix Storch, Inc.

12

Proper & Improper Cookware

The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you use.
Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, only
certain materials can be used on your cooktop.

Proper Cookware

Flat-bottom pots or pans with diameter from 12 to 26 cm (4.7 to 10.83
inches) made from the following:

• Magnetic stainless steel

• Cast iron

• Enameled iron

• Nickel

Improper Cookware

Pots or pans with or made of the following CANNOT be used on your
cooktop:

• Rounded-bottom

• Bottom measuring less than 12 cm (4.7 inches)

• Pot with stands

• Heat resistant glass

• Ceramic container

• Copper

• Aluminum

• Non-magnetic stainless steel

 If you are unsure about the usability of your cookware, simply

take a magnet (such as one on your refrigerator) and hold it
under the bottom of your pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the
cookware CAN be used on the induction cooktop.

Felix Storch, Inc. SUMMIT APPLIANCE

13

Cleaning Your Cooktop

After each use, unplug or turn off the power and let your unit cool down
completely. When it is cool to the touch, apply approximately 1 teaspoon (5
ml) of nonabrasive cleaner to the surface of the ceramic glass with a lightly
dampened cloth. Use a second cloth to remove any remaining cleaner
residue. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.

Do NOT use the following to clean your unit:

• Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach as these
materials may stain the cooktop

• Caustic cleaners that may etch the surface

• Abrasive cleaners

• Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges

• Powdery cleaners containing chorine bleach

• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40

Note: Sugary products can damage the ceramic glass surface. If dry

sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products, or milk spills on the surface
DURING heating, clean immediately.

SCHOTT CERAN® Use & Care Guide

Your SCHOTT CERAN® cooking surface is developed to be easy to use and to look
great. The following hints and tips will help you to keep it that way for a long time to
come. SCHOTT CERAN® cooktop panels can stand up to plenty of wear and tear if
you follow the simple instructions provided in this manual.

SCHOTT CERAN® is made of exceptionally durable, long-lasting glass ceramic. The
flat surface lets you move pots and pans around safely with almost no risk of spills or
overturning.

SCHOTT CERAN® cooking surfaces are easy to clean
Tip: Clean your SCHOTT CERAN® cooking surface regularly, preferably after each

time you use it.

1. First remove any burnt-on deposits or spilled

food from your SCHOTT CERAN® cooking
surface with a suitable metal razor scraper
(similar to scraping paint off of your
windowpanes in your home - it will not damage
the decorated cooking surface). Hold the
scraper at approximately a 30° angle to the
cooktop. For your safety, please wear a mitt
potholder while using the metal scraper.

2. When the cooking surface has cooled down

apply a few dabs (about the size of a dime) of
an approved cleaner in each burner area and
work the cleaning cream over the cooktop
surface with a damp paper towel as if you were
cleaning a window.

3. As a final step, clean with clear water and wipe

the cooktop surface with a clean, dry paper
towel.

Important: If any sugar or food containing sugar (preserves, ketchup, tomato
sauce, etc.), a plastic item or kitchen foil accidentally melts on the hot surface of
your cooktop, remove the molten material IMMEDIATELY with a metal razor
scraper (it will not damage the decorated cooking surface) while the cooking
surface is still hot to avoid the risk of damage to the SCHOTT CERAN® surface.
For your safety please wear a mitt potholder while cleaning the hot cooking surface.

The bases of pots and pans should be slightly concave at room temperature, as it
slightly expands when it gets hot. This ensures that it sits flush with the cooking
surface resulting in the most efficient use of the heat.

(room temp.)

pot when heated

Please ensure that the pan base is the same
size as the cooking zone.

For best cooking results use stainless
steel or enameled steel pots & pans. The
base of stainless steel pans with
sandwich bottoms should be 4-6 mm
thick and the base of enameled steel
pans should be 2-3 mm thick.

Glass ceramic cookware is not really suitable because of its poor heat conductance
and its potential to scratch the cooking surface.

Pots and pans with copper and/or aluminum bases are not recommended because
they are softer than the cooking surface and tend to leave small particles, which are
difficult to remove. If those particles are not immediately removed with an
appropriate cleaning agent, they may burn onto the surface and mar its appearance.

Every pan base should be clean, dry and ridge-free to prevent any residue from
burning onto the cooktop panel, scratching or other damage or deposits (such as
lime specks).

Updated 7/8/08, Elder

Scratches resulting from daily use are quite harmless and only impair the visual
effect. There is no need to worry if something spills or boils over. Even burned-on
food can be easily removed using the metal scraper. Please make sure that all
deposits are removed before the cooking surface will be used again.

Following these simple hints will ensure that your SCHOTT CERAN® cooking surface
will look good for a long time to come.
