General Safety
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with pots and pans, handles should be positioned so they are
turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
• Clean your cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaners to clean your cooktop. Do not
use scourers or harsh abrasive cleaning agents, as these can scratch the ceramic
glass.
• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the cooktop
surface since they can get hot and increase risk of burns.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
WARNING
Light (Error Code) signals a component failure. If you see this error, disconnect
the power supply and contact ZLINE at 1-614-777-5004, as the appliance
must be repaired by a qualified service provider.

CUTTING HAZARD
• Using a single-edge razor blade scraper at a 30° to 45° angle against the glass
surface is appropriate during cleaning to scrape off hard-to-clean residue.
• Please note that the razor-sharp blade of a cooktop scraper is exposed when the
safety cover is retracted. Use with extreme care, always store safely, and keep out of
reach of children.
• Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

• If the range top is near a window, ensure that curtains and drapes do not blow over or
near the unit.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire from over-heated surface units, cabinet storage
space located above the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage is used, the risk
can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5
inches beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
WARNING

OPERATION
Induction Cooking
ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
• Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology.
It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than
indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the
pan eventually warms it up.
Iron pot
Magnetic circut
Cermaic glass plate
Induced currents
Induction coil
USING THE TOUCH CONTROLS
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not the tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls
difficult to operate.

10
Compatible Cookware
OPERATION
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction
symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check if cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet
toward the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. Follow the steps under "To start cooking".
3. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
• Flat-bottomed pots or pans made from cast iron, enameled iron, nickel, or
magnetic stainless steel work best on induction cooktops.
• The following cookware is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
×
×
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same
size as the cooking zone. Always center your pan on the cooking zone.
×

×
Always lift pans off the ceramic cooktop – do not slide or they may scratch the glass.
×
Compatible Cookware
NOTE: Some cookwares can produce noises when used on induction
cooking zones. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not
be impaired in any way as a result.
Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, only
certain materials can be used on your cooktop.
Induction
Optimally the cookware will have this
induction image on the retail box:
Induction requires pots and pans that are
made of ferrous(meaning magnetic)
materials.
Check your cookware’s retail box for the
induction symbol. To tell if your current
cookware is compatible with the induction
technology, grab a magnet and see if it
holds to the bottom of the cookware. If
your magnet stays on then your cookware
is ready to be used on the Induction
cooktop!
The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you use.
The following are not compatible: heat-resist
glass, ceramic, copper, aluminum pan/pots,
round-bottomed cookware, or cookware with a
base less than 5 inches.
