InductionCooking

Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cooler than with a traditional element.

Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.

The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning off the power.

Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.

Pan size, material (see “Cookware” section), and positioning is very important to achieve maximum wattage.

The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.

If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.

Cooktop Controls

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods such as chocolate or butter, or when proofing bread, the surface cooking area can be set to the keep warm function for minimal surface cooking area operation.

For maximum surface cooking area operation, all cooktop touch- activated electronic controls can be set to Performance boost function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Set the surface cooking area heat setting level to 9, then touch the “plus”

(+) key to immediately reach the highest setting.

NOTE: Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will automatically adjust to 208V operation.

First use or after a power failure:

After connecting the cooktop to an electrical power suppy or after a power failure, the control panel will be locked. An indicator light above the key icon will be on. To unlock the control panel, press and hold CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. The indicator light will turn off, and the cooktop is ready for use.
