forming self-clean, then the surface cook-
ing unit must be turned off.
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar med-
ical 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 pace-
maker or similar medical device. It would
be advisable to consult your doctor or
the pacemaker or similar medical device
manufacturer about your particular situa-
tion.
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 off before remov-
ing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments. — To reduce the risk of burns, igni-
tion of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the uten-
sil, 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.
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the
cookware 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
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve efficiency.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
What is Electromagnetic Induction?
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 cre-
ates an electromagnetic 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 Features
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 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 Efciency: Because induction creates heat
directly in the pan, it uses less electricity than a
conventional cooktop.
CAUTION
Although induction cooking zones do not produce
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.
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.
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 per-
fectly flat on the bottom
may vibrate slightly against
the cooktop.
A loose handle may vibrate
in its socket.
Multi-material cookware may
allow small vibrations 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.
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.

en
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.
Check for flatness by ro-
tating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 2). Cook-
ware should have flat
bottoms that make good
contact with the entire
surface of the heating
element (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Ruler test
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 4).
Cookware Material Types
Cookware material is especially important when us-
ing an induction cooktop. The cookware must con-
tain magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction
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 mate-
rial. Porcelain-enamel on a compatible metal will
work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet
test to check porcelain-enamel cookware.
Cookware sold as induc-
tion-ready will often have
a symbol printed on the
bottom by the manufac-
turer.
Figure 3: Induction symbol
Magnet
Sticks
Magnet
Falls
Figure 4: Magnet test
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 cookware
will not heat up on your induction cooktop.
CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking
zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of
cookware is left on an operating induction cooking
zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp
or damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your in-
duction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the
magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware,
the cookware will work on your induction cooktop

Pan Sensing
When the cooktop is on, the cooking zones auto-
matically detect when cookware is placed on the
zone. The control for that zone will light up, making
it easy to know which section of the control to use
for that cooking zone.
Figure 6 shows conditions that can prevent pan
detection.
If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone,
the zone will turn off after 30 seconds.
If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any zone
for 30 seconds, the whole cooktop will turn off .
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and
maximum pan size for each cooking zone. For best
results, use cookware that matches the size of the
cooking zone.
Figure 7: Min / max pan size
The inner ring on each cooking zone indicates the
smallest pan size for the zone (Figure 7).
The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the
largest pan size for that zone (Figure 7).
Cookware that is too small for a zone may not acti-
vate the cookware detection sensor. Cookware that
is much larger than a cooking zone will still cook,
but may be slower and uneven. If your cookware is
not a perfect match, it is best to use a zone a little
smaller than the bottom of the cookware.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
• Cookware centered correctly
on cooking zone.
• Flat pan bottom and straight
sides.
• Pan rests completely and is
level on the cooktop
surface.
• Pan is properly balanced.
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop
edge.
• Cookware not centered on
cooking zone.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms
or sides.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Cookware base material has
good magnetic characteristics.
• Cookware base material is
non-magnetic.

CAUTION
• Although induction cooking zones do not di-
rectly generate 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 tem-
perature.
• Do not place flammable items such as plas-
tic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrapping on top of the range when it
is in use. Heat radiating from cookware could
cause these items to melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to hot cookware.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop. Improper installation of these lin-
ers may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
If these items melt on the cooktop, they will
damage the cooktop.

Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop
It’s best to lift cookware before moving it on the ce-
ramic glass cooktop. Cookware that has a rough or
dirty bottom can mark and scratch the ceramic glass
surface. Always start with clean cookware.
Figure 12: Move cookware carefully on cooktop
Power Management
Your induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and
4 or 5 cooking zones, depending on the model. A
generator may power 1 or 2 cooking zones. If you
use more than one cooking zone on high power at
the same time and they are on the same generator,
the cooktop may need to manage power to the two
cooking zones.
Figure 13: Power management, 4 cook zones
Figure 14: Power management, 5 cook zones
To get the best performance from your cooktop,
start cooking on only one cooking zone. After the
first piece of cookware has reached cooking tem-
perature, then start cooking on the second cooking
zone.

Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points
when home canning with your appliance. Check with
the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
Web site and be sure to read all the information they
have available as well as follow their recommenda-
tions for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no
ridges that radiate from the bottom center when
home canning. Heat is spread more evenly when
the bottom surface is flat. Use a straight-edge to
check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not
exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element mark-
ings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter can-
ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, re-
duce heat to lowest possible setting to maintain
that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carful-
ly. Check with your local Cooperative Agricultural
Extension Service or a manufacturer of glass jars
for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high
heat for an extended amount of time.

NOTE
To get an idea of how hot a piece of cookware will
get at a particular setting, try the Magnet Test
(page 9). The more strongly a magnet clings to
the cookware, the hotter that cookware will get at
any particular setting on the cooktop.
To get consistent results, use the same piece of
cookware for particular cooking tasks.
When using small amounts of oil for frying or sau-
téing, add the oil after the pan is preheated.
Keep an eye on your cookware during preheat. In-
duction is powerful, and letting cookware get too
hot while empty may warp or damage it.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
TempControl (only for BLACKS-
TAD and ÄLMESTAD)
TempControl uses a temperature
sensor to maintain a consistent tem-
perature when cooking. When cool
batter, liquid, or food is added to a
hot pan, the pan cools down a little.
TempControl senses this change and will use extra
power to maintain the desired temperature setting.
The feature also lets you know when your cookware
is preheated, so making pancakes or sautéing fresh
food has better results.
The temperature of your cookware will depend on
the level you select and the material of the cook-
ware you use. Experiment a little to determine what
works for you for cooking various dishes. Different
pots and pans will hold at different temperatures,
so you will need to learn how your cookware works
with this feature.
Figure 16: TempControl Indicator
TempControl is available for some cooking zones
when they are active.
Press the TempControl Indicator to activate the
TempControl function. The indicator turns red. Press
a number key to select one of the 9 preset cooking
levels.

You can change the TempControl setting at any time
by pressing another number key. The animated
sequence of squares will start again until the new
temperature is reached.

CARE AND CLEANING
Remove spills and any heavy soiling as soon as pos-
sible. Regular cleaning will reduce the difficulty of
major cleaning later.
Figure 22: Use cleaners with caution
CAUTION
Before cleaning any part of the appliance, be sure
all controls are turned off and the appliance is
cool.
If ammonia or appliance cleaners are used, they
must be removed and the appliance must be thor-
oughly rinsed before operating. Follow manufac-
turer’s instructions and provide adequate ventila-
tion.
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to main-
taining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to 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. This will make cleaning easier when soiled
from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a pro-
tective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches
and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal mark-
ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be
removed immediately after the cooktop has cooled
using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can be-
come 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 cook-
top.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the
bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface with-
out a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic glass
cooktop; they may cause it to crack.

Cooktop Cleaning
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The
glass surface could be hot from contact with hot
cookware, and burns may occur if the glass sur-
face is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass sur-
face.
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop. Use
a clean paper towel to clean the entire cooktop sur-
face. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,
leaving no residue. Do not use the towel you use to
clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream di-
rectly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using
a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal
razor blade scraper held at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning
cream.

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only
use cleaning products that have been specifically
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
