6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the cook-
ware manufacturer’s recommendations for
cooktop use.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with flat bot-
toms that match the surface unit size. Using
the proper cookware on the cooking area will
improve efficiency.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage the
cooktop.
When you are flaming foods under a ventilat-
ing hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar medi-
cal device should exercise caution using or
standing near an induction unit while it is in
operation, as the electromagnetic field may
affect the working of the pacemaker or sim-
ilar medical device. It would be advisable
to consult your doctor or the pacemaker or
similar medical device manufacturer about
your particular situation.
Know which knob or key controls each sur-
face heating area. Place cookware with food
on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn
the cooking area off before removing the
cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments. — To reduce the risk of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the cookware should be positioned
so that it is turned inward, and does not ex-
tend over other cooking areas.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types
of cookware are suitable for cook top service
and must be magnetic to work properly on
the induction zones. Check the manufactur-
er’s recommendations for cook top use to
ensure that the cookware is compatible with
induction cooking.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
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.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Although induction cooking zones do not pro-
duce heat, they can become hot from contact
with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking
zone or the surrounding area is touched before it
has cooled to a safe temperature.
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction
cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” sec-
tion and “Before You Call” checklist section of this
Use and Care Manual.
Sounds
The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone
may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or
humming noise. These sounds are not unusual, espe-
cially at high settings.
Cookware that is not
perfectly flat on the
bottom may vibrate
slightly against the
cooktop.
A loose handle may
vibrate in its socket.
Multi-material cookware
may allow small vibra-
tions in its structure.
Figure 1: Induction sounds
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher
quality cookware.
An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking
sounds from the electronic switches that maintain the
desired cooking temperature. You may also hear a fan
that cools the electronics inside the cooktop.
How does induction work?
Most cooking uses radiant heat that must pass through
the cookware to get food hot. Induction is a process
that induces heat with an energy reaction. When each
cooking zone is turned on, power goes to a coil under
the cooktop. The powered coil creates an electro-
magnetic field. The electromagnetic field reacts with
compatible materials in cookware, creating heat in the
cookware itself. The power level controls the heating
level, delivering precise results.
Induction Benefits
Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the
cooktop, induction offers several advantages.
Cleaner cooking: Because induction works by heating
the cookware and not the cooktop, spills don’t cook or
stick to the surface.
Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be cool-
er when you remove cookware than a conventional
cooktop would be. The only radiant heat produced
in induction is from the cookware itself, so the kitchen
stays cooler, too.
Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on a
conventional electric cooktop. Pay close attention to
avoid scorching food when starting to cook. You may
need to use a lower setting for cooking food than you
are used to.
Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware will
change immediately when you change the setting of
the cooking zone.
Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more
evenly on an induction cooktop, so you are less likely
to have hot or cool spots in the cookware.
Energy Efficiency: Because induction creates heat
directly in the pan, it uses less electricity than a con-
ventional cooktop.
Before Using Your Cooktop
Before using your cooktop for the first time, apply a
ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most
hardware, grocery, and department stores) to the
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper
towel. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a protective
finish on the glass that will make cleaning easier when
the cooktop is soiled from cooking and help prevent
scratches and abrasions.

10 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will influence the
heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure
to follow the recommendations for using proper cook-
ware as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Check for flatness by
rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 1). Cookware
should have flat bottoms
that make good contact
with the entire surface of
the heating element (see
Figure 2).
Cookware Material Types
Cookware material is especially important when
using an induction cooktop. The cookware must
contain magnetic iron or steel to work on an in-
duction cooktop. Common materials for induction
cookware include the following:
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor. Durable,
easy to clean, and resists staining. Some types
of stainless steel will not work on an induction
cooktop. Use the magnet test (see “Figure 4:
Magnet test”) to check stainless steel cookware.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking tem-
perature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac-
teristics will vary depending on the base ma-
terial. Porcelain-enamel on a compatible metal
will work on an induction cooktop. Use the
magnet test to check porcelain-enamel cook-
ware.
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the
magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cook-
ware, the cookware will work on your induction
cooktop
Cookware sold as induc-
tion-ready will often have a
symbol printed on the bottom
by the manufacturer.
Figure 3: Induction symbol
The Magnet Test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induc-
tion cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see Figure 2).
If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cook-
ware, it will work on your induction cooktop. If the
magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will
not heat up on your induction cooktop.

CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cook-
ing zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty
piece of cookware is left on an operating induc-
tion cooking zone, the rapid change in tempera-
ture may warp or damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.
