Once active, the Cooking Zones will provide 10 Power Levels to choose from. These include 7
2, 3, _, 5, 6 (fig. 14), 7, 8, 9. The highest setting of Por "Power Boost" provides 125%
power level for 10 minutes (See Fig. 13). Each key pad touch (or just holding down the Power
Level key pad) will scroll through all the available power levels for any Cooking Zone quickly
(See pages 14-17 for complete instructions).
RESIDUAL HEAT- Once any Cooking Zone has been used for cooking and turned OFF, and
if the cooktop surface temperature on any of the Cooking Zones is still too HOT, H(See Fig.
15) will appear in the LED display for the affected Cooking Zone. The H will continue to

Zone is turned ON and no pan is detected for the Cooking Zone, the pan has been moved or
if the pan is not centered correctly or if the pan is not made of magnetic material, F(See Fig.
17) will appear in the affected Cooking Zone LED display.

USETHECORRECTCOOKWARETYPE
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
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, look for cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If your not sure, use a magnet
to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom
of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig. Fig.18
t8).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware isslid over the ceramic cooktop
surface 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 difficult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOK-
WARE -The 5 Cooking Zones
available on the Induction Cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be
used at each location (Fig. t 9). The
inner ring of each Cooking Zone is
your guide to the correct MINI MUM
pan size. The pan bottom must
FULLY cover the inner ring for
proper cooking to occur.
The thicker outer ring at each
Cooking Zone is helpful to deter-
mine the pan MAXIMUM size. After
centering the cookware of the
cooktop, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than 1/2"
beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone (See example in Fig.
19). The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trims (Shown in Fig. 19).
NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material iscentered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but isTOO
SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone LED will display an Fcode and the pan will not heat.

POWERSHARING
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
Your cooktop is equipped with five induction
elements within three heating sections. The
right-hand, left-hand and center Cooking
Zones are powered by three independent
induction inverters -one inverter for each
heating sections. Two Cooking Zones in a
heating section share the power of one
inverter. This is called Power Sharing.
A third heating section is used to power the
Center zone induction element. There is no
power sharing for the center zone.
For example, if pans are cooking food items
on both right-hand Cooking Zones, the last
Left-hand Right-hand Power Level set will be maintained, while the
Cooking Zones section Cooking Zones section first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting.
..............................................................................................................................................................Fig. 23
POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level for the food item you wish to
maintain last. Or, you may choose to maintain a constant power level for 2 food items by
placing the pans on one of the Cooking Zones of the left-hand heating section and the other
pan on the Center Cooking Zones or on one of the Cooking Zones of the right-hand heating
section (See Fig. 23).
OPE TIONAL NOISES
[] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking create some unusual background
noises. These noises are normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.
Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop(b Cleaning Creme
to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning 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.
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause
metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed
immediately after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning
cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future
use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can mark
or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass
across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop,
because they may cause it to crack.

For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop(b Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area
using a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do not use the
pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
