Important Instructions for Using your
Cooktop
Know which keys controls each surface
cooking zone. Place pan with food on the
cooking zone before turning it on. Turn the
cooking zone off before removing the
pan.
Use proper pan size. This appliance is
equipped with induction cooking zones of
different sizes. Select utensils specifically
manufactured or approved for induction
cooking. Pans should have flat bottoms
that match the induction cooking zone
size. Using the proper utensil on the
cooking zone will improve efficiency.
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spills due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the
utensil handles should be turned inward
and not extend over other cooking zones.
Never leave surface cooking zones unat-
tended. Bail-avers may cause smoking
and greasy spills may ignite. A pan that
has bailed dry could be damaged and
may damage the cooktop.

Before Setting Surface Controls
Using 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 (Figure 1)..
Use Quality Cookware in Good Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the
Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware (Figure 2). Be sure to follow all the
recommendations for using cookware.
Figure 1: Check pan for magnetic properties
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, espe-
cially 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 appear-
ance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will
make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall
appearance of the cooktop.
Induction Cooktop Features
•When the induction cooktop is turned on, the cooktop
surface remains much cooler than standard ceramic
cooktops.
_The cooking zone may appear to be cool while
turned on and after they have been turned off. But the glass
surface may be hot from residual heat transferred from the
cookware and burns may occur.
• Magnetic detector. The coil sensor automatically detects if
a pan is magnetic. If it is not, the cooking zone will not
activate.
• Pan size detection. The pan detection sensor automatically
adapts the size of cooking zone to the pan sizes in use.
• Efficiency. Induction cooking heats faster while using less
energy. Induction power boils more quickly and simmers
more evenly.
Figure 2: Check flatness of cookware
Important note:
• 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. Do not
use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are
easy to clean after cooking.
Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands
from burns.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of
the ceramic cooktop.
Before Setting Surface Controls
Induction Cookware
The induction cooking zones have pan sensing to let you know
that the cookware is in proper position for cooking. The display
showing the selected power setting will flash on and off if the
pan is not placed properly on the cooking zone. Move the pan
to the center of the zone and the display will stop flashing.
INCORRECT CORRECT
Minimum Pan Size Requirements
Important: Pan bottoms should not extend more than 1/2"
(13mm) beyond outer Cooking Zone (Induction).
Figure 3: How to set cookware for proper induction cooking
W
-Flat bottom and straight
sides.
- Tight fitting lids.
-Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
-Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
-Made of material that
conducts heat well.
- Easy to clean.
- Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
- Curved and warped pans.
Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
-Heavy handle tilts pan.
-Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Important note: If the cookware meets any of these incorrect
conditions, one or more of the cooking zones will not heat
indicated by a flashing power level display. Correct the
problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Figure 4: Induction cooking zone sizes
Pan Sensing-Induction Cooking Zones
Minimum Pan Size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to
activate. The cookware bottom must meet the minimum area for
the heating process to begin.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is too
small, the cooking zone display will flash the last power level
setting and the pan will not heat. Select a larger pan that meets
the minimum size requirement to activate the cooking zone.
Maximum Recommended Pan Size
The graphics on each cooking zone location are your guides to
the correct maximum pan size for that zone (See Figure 4).
It is recommended to not use pans with bottoms that extend
more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond any of the longer line marks
provided on the cooktop.
The cookware must make full contact with the ceramic glass
surface. Cookware should not rest on or touch the metal edges
of the cooktop.
Before Setting Surface Controls
Cooktop Display Windows
The cooktop controls provide a digital display for each of the
radiant surface elements located on the cooktop. Power levels
and messages are easily monitored and adjusted using the
corresponding control key in combination with the window
displays.
The Available Power Level Settings
The cooktop control will display heat levels ranging from Power
Boost (Pb) to Hi to Lo and OFF (Figure 5). The settings between
9.5 and 3.0 (Figure 6) decrease or increase in increments of .5
(1/2). The settings between 2.8 and 1.2 (Figure 6) are Simmer
settings which decrease or increase in increments of .2 (1/5) to
Lo for more precise settings at lower heat levels.
The highest setting Power Boost (Pb) provides the highest
possible power for 10 minutes, and if not changed to a lower
power setting, will automatically lower the power to the HI
setting.
Figure 5: Range from Power Boost (Pb) to Hi setting to Lo and
OFF (blank display)
Sabbath Feature (Sb) Message
The cooktop display windows will show the -- message
whenever the Sabbath feature is active (Figure 8). The oven
control display will show Sab.
When activated, the Sabbath feature locks the cooktop and
only allows oven operation. See "Setting the Sabbath feature
(for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays)" on page 30 for
complete instructions.
Figure 8: Display indicating cooktop is locked when oven is set
for Sabbath
Pan Sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface
require that certain cookware conditions are met before the
induction cooking zones can operate. If a cooking zone is
activated and no cookware is detected, then zone display will
flash with the last power level setting (Figure 9). If improper
cookware is used, the cooking zones may not heat.
Figure 6: Settings between 9.5 and 3.0 (.5 increments) and
settings between 2.8 and 1.2 (.2 increments)
Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the cooking zones on the
cooktop, the glass surface may be hot from residual heat trans-
ferred from the cookware and burns may occur if surface is
touched.
The control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and
displays the message HE (hot element) warning when the
cooktop is still too hot to touch (Figure 7). The HE will remain on
until the cooktop has cooled to a moderate level. If the HE
message appears in the display, the control can still be turned
on again for use.
