Before Setting Surface Controls
Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking
Fast and efficient - The induction cooking zones heat faster
while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil
and efficient when simmering.
A cooler cooktop - A unique feature of the induction cooking
zones is whether turned on or off, the cooking zones remain
cooler than radiant type elements. Virtually no wasted heat is
produced because the heat begins with the presence of
cookware.
Easy cleanups - The cooler cooking zones make cleanup easier.
Spills resist sticking or burning, so they wipe up easily.
Magnetic detector - The cooking zone has a sensor that auto-
matically detects whether or not cookware is magnetic. This will
reduce accidental turn-ons.
Pan size detection - The pan size recognition sensor automati-
cally detects and adapts the induction cooking zones to the pan
sizes in use for consistent, more even cooking.
More responsive - The induction cooking zones are more respon-
sive than their electric or gas counterparts because the pan is
what heats. This type of cooking heats easier and will be just as
responsive when reducing to a simmer.
About the Induction Cooktop
The cooktop is equipped with four differently-sized induction
cooking zones and a radiant heat warm zone.

Figure 2: Induction cooking zones
Induction cooking heats the pan directly, and heating will only
begin when cookware is properly placed on the cooking zones.
Induction Cookware
Important note:
Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to carefully
read and follow these cookware recommendations and the
instructions in the "Pan Sensing" section.
Induction cooktops allow the flexibility to use a wide range of
cookware. Induction cooking only requires the cookware to be
magnetic. Induction-specific cookware may be purchased.
The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not
constructed with a base magnetic material. To check if the
cookware base material is suitable, use a magnet to test
(Figure 3). If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the
material type is correct.
V
Figure 3: Cookware verification
For best results, only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on
the induction cooking zones. Follow all the manufacturer's
recommendations when using cookware made for induction
cooking.
Induction Cookware Types
The most common induction cookware types available are:
Stainless steel - Generally, excellent for induction cooking. Is
durable, easy to clean, and resists staining. Not all stainless steel
cookware is magnetic. Check before purchase or use.
Cast iron - Good for induction cooking. Cooks evenly. Do not
slide cast iron cookware on cooktop. Cast iron cookware with a
rough bottom will scratch a ceramic cooktop
Porcelain-enameled metal - Heating characteristics vary
depending on quality of base material. Porcelain-enamel
coating must be smooth to avoid scratching ceramic cooktop.
Test with a magnet before purchase or use.

BeforeSettingSurfaceControls
When Using the Cooking Zones
• Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic
base material.
• Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution.
Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good
contact with the entire cooking zone area. Check for
flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the
cookware (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Check for level-bottomed cookware
• Be sure cookware is properly balanced and does not tilt
from a heavy handle.
• Be sure that the pan size matches the amount of food to be
prepared. The size and type of cookware used will influence
the setting needed for best cooking results.
• Never let cookware boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage to the cooktop, such as breakage, fusion, or
marring.
• Use cookware that meets the minimum and maximum
cookware size requirements for each cooking zone.
Hot Cookware and Residual Heat
Unlike radiant surface elements, the cooking
zones will not glow red when they are hot. The glass surface
may be hot from residual heat transferred from the cookware
and burns may occur. Do not touch hot cookware or pans
directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.
The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the number of
cooking zones in use, and their power level settings are all
factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread
beyond the cooking zones.
The induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the cooking
zones may become hot enough to cause burns. Be sure to read
all cautions.
Important note:
Some accessories are made to straddle cooking zones. Never
straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking
zones heating at the same time unless it designed for straddling.
This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the
ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Home Canning
Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Always raise the lid to
vent steam away from you. Safe canning requires that harmful
micro-organisms are destroyed and the jars are sealed
completely. When canning in a water bath canner, a gentle but
steady boil must be maintained continuously for the required
time.
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when home
canning with your appliance. Check with the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) website (www.usda.gov) and
be sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges
that radiate from the bottom center when home canning
using a range with a ceramic glass cooktop.
Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed 1
inch beyond the cooking zone markings. Use smaller
diameter canners on ranges with ceramic glass or open coil
electric cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to boil water quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water to
a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to lowest possible setting
to maintain that boil.
Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check
with your local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service
or a manufacturer of glass jars for the latest canning infor-
mation.
• 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.
• Alternate surface units between each batch to allow the
units and surrounding surfaces to cool down. Try to avoid
canning on the same burner unit all day.
