Induction Cooktop Operation
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the manufacturing process.
If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial use.
There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this is normal and will disappear.
Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware being selected and used.
The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is dropped on it.
Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and /or cooktop.
Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch the glass
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in cooktop damage.

Power Sharing
Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones.
One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within a heating section share the power of one generator. Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost (P). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing.
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on high settings. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or both of the elements.
