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 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.
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 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-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not
covered by your warranty).

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 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.
18).
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 difficult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Fig. 18
MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH
COOKING ZONES
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. 19). 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 deter-
mine the pan MAXIMUM size. After
centering the cookware of the
cooktop, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than ½”
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 is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO
SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone LED will display an FF
FF
Fcode and the pan will not heat.

POWER SHARING
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
level. Very loud noises are not part of normal Induction Cooking.
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
Power Level set will be maintained, while the
first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting.

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).

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop® 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.

General Care & Cleaning
CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
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 light to moderate soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use
a non-abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the
cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of CookTop® 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.
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CERAMIC GLASS
COOKTOP

20 General Care & Cleaning
CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CERAMIC GLASS
COOKTOP (CONTINUED)
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding
scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Remove loosened soils with cooktop
cleaning cream and buff surface clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you use an
abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktop.
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:
These types of soils need be removed immediately if spilled or melted onto the
ceramic cooktop surface. Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After turning the surface elements
OFF, use a razor blade scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to cool, and use the same
method for heavy or burned on soils.
Do not use the following on the ceramic cooktop (See Fig. 26):
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, such as metal and
some nylon pads. They may scratch the cooktop, making it more
difficult to clean.
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine bleach, ammonia or
oven cleaners, as they may etch or discolor the cooktop.
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper towels, as they can leave
soil or lint on the cooktop which can burn and cause discoloration.

Special Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum Cooking Utensils
•Aluminum foil - Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use thin aluminum
cooking utensils or allow foil to touch the ceramic cooktop under ANY circumstances.
•Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is much lower than that of other metals.
Care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used on the cooktop. If allowed to boil
dry, not only will the utensil be destroyed, but it may fuse to, break or mark the ceramic
glass surface, permanently damaging the cooktop surface.
CLEANING IMPORTANT NOTE:
Liquid, cleaning towel or objects on the control area of the cooktop display could cause the
cooktop displays an error code or momentarely disable touch control operation.
