Fatorgreasemaycatchfireira,owedtobecome
too hot.
•Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a pot holder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
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 fire. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood
or filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch
fire. When flaming 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 different sizes.
Select utensils having flat 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 flammable 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 aluminum
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, fire or short circuit.
* Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
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 filter.
* 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 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.
*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-

Gettin Started
ACOOLER COOKTOP - A unique feature of the
Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF,
the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard
ceramic cooktops.
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii::
should have flat bottoms that make good contact iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii__i
with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii:_:
for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to follow all the
recommendations for using cookware.
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.
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 specifically
identified 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 slide 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.
Fig. 1
_:_iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii_
Fig. 2
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct material type
for Induction Cooking.
• 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.

Getting Started
Cookware recommendations
Be sure to follow the following recommendations
for using cookware as shown:
INCORRECT
Cookware not centered
on Cooking Zone
surface.
_ -._ ............... J
Curved or warped pan
bottoms or sides.
Min. size
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.

.............J
Pan rests completely on
the cooktop surface.
Pan is properly
balanced.
Fig. 1
Use the correct cookware size
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction
Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at
each location. The cross (+) of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size. The
pan bottom must FULLY cover the cross for proper
cooking to occur.
The outer dots 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 these dots 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.
Fig. 2
The Left Front Cooking Zone got a MINIMUM pan
size much smaller than the other cooking zones to
accommodate many pan sizes,
