Operation

Surface Operation

Rear and Front Elements Push in and turn the control knob

counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will adjust the power output to maintain the desired heat setting. Some elements have a “Boost” feature. A boost of power is provided for 10 minutes and is used for quickly boiling

water when the element is turned to HI. When

finished boiling, turn the control knob to Med HI to maintain the boil or to a lower setting for steaming, warming, and simmering sauces.

Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous and boiling time is decreased when using the proper induction cookware.

CAUTION

Do not heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.

Surface Indicator Lights

The surface indicator lights are located at the front of the glass cooktop. The

indicator lights are used to indicate activation, hot surface, and warnings.

Note: If the indicator lights have a 2 to 3 second pause in between flashes, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.

Surface Cooking Tips

•The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not recommended.

•Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop to turn off.

Note: The above information is given as a guide only. You may need to vary the heat settings to suit your personal requirements.
