Safety
IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONSFORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP
• KnowwhichtouchkeypadscontrolseachsurfaceoftheCookingZones.
• Cleantheapplianceregularlytokeepallpartsfreeofgreasethatcouldcatchre.
Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease
to accumulate on hood or lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch re. When aming
food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
• UseProperPanSize. This appliance is equipped with one or more Cooking Zones of dif-
ferent sizes. Select utensils having at bottoms large enough to cover the Cooking Zones.
The pan detection sensors will not allow the affected Cooking Zones to operate without a
pan present.
•Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent
CookingZones. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
•NeverLeavePreparedFoodontheCookingZones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.
•ProtectiveLiners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use alu-
minum foil as recommended after cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over
the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may result in the risk of electric shock, re or short
circuit.
• GlazedCookingUtensils. Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
• Ventilatinghood.The ventilating hood above your cooking surface should be cleaned
frequently, so the grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or lter.
FORCERAMIC-GLASSCOOKTOPONLY
• 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 qualied technician immediately.
• CleanCooktopwithCaution.If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cook-
ing area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• DoNotPlaceHotCookwareonColdCooktopGlass. This could cause glass to break.
• DoNotSlidePanAcrosstheCooktopSurface.They may scratch the cooktop surface.
• DoNotLetPansBoilDry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage,
fusion, or marking that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty).

ACOOLERCOOKTOP - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON
or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
!
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.
MAGNETICDETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is
magnetic and eliminates accidental “turn-ONs.”
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 and delicate when simmering.

BeforeUsingtheCooktop
USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE
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 specically identied by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are 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. 1).
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 is slid 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 difcult
and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Fig. 1
MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS
USETHECORRECTSIZECOOKWARE
- The Cooking Zones available on the
Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM
pan size to be used at each location. The
inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your
guide to the correct MINIMUM 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 determine the pan
MAXIMUM size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop, make sure
the cookware 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: If a pan made of the correct
material is centered properly on any of
the active Cooking Zones but is TOO
SMALL, the LEDs around the digital part
of the display will start rotating around
the affected Cooking Zone Display and
the pan will not heat.
NOTE: Pan
bottom should
not exceed 1/2”
(13mm) from
outer Cooking
Zone (Induction)
rings
NOTE: Pan
bottom should
not exceed 1/2”
(13mm) from
