Operating induction cooking zones

Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.

The suggested settings (provided in Fig. 1) may vary slightly depending on the cookware design, quality and amount of food being prepared.

Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with magnetic base material and meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements.

CAUTION

•Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction 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 cooking zones may appear to have cooled after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may still be hot from residual heat and burns may occur if the cooktop is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

•Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware.
