6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Improper cookware may break due to
sudden changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of dierent sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve eciency.
Never leave surface elements unattend-
ed. 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 venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
WARNING
If an oven installed underneath is perform-
ing self-clean, then the surface cooking
unit must be turned o.
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar
medical device should exercise caution
using or standing near an induction unit
while it is in operation, as the electro-
magnetic field may aect the working
of the pacemaker or similar 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
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area o before re-
moving the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned in-
ward and not extend over adjacent surface
elements. — To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend 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 manufacturer’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 Cook-
top. If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric 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,
especially 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 click-
ing sounds from the electronic switches that main-
tain 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 reac-
tion. When each cooking zone is turned on, power
goes to a coil under the cooktop. The powered
coil creates an electromagnetic field. The electro-
magnetic 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 oers 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
cooler when you remove cookware than a con-
ventional 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 atten-
tion 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 set-
ting 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 Eciency: Because induction creates heat
directly in the pan, it uses less electricity than a
conventional 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 bu with a clean
paper towel. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a
protective finish on the glass that will make clean-
ing 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 cookware as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Check for flatness by ro-
tating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 1). Cookware
should have flat bot-
toms 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
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see
Figure 2).
If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the
cookware, it will work on your induction cooktop.
If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cook-
ware 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.
