Getting to Know Your Range
About the Cooktop
•Your range is equipped with an induction type cook- top. Induction cooking is totally different from tradi- tional types of cooking. A magnetic induction element below the cooking surface heats utensils (magnetic only) directly. Induction cooking is much more effi- cient because less energy is lost heating the cooktop itself. Also, food that spills on the cooktop does not burn since the cooktop is much cooler.
•The cooktop has four circular cooking zones. Below each cooking zone is the magnetic induction cooking element. Each cooking zone has its own set of con- trols. The control keys are activated by touching them with your fingertip. Pressing hard is not necessary because the keys are not pressure sensitive. NOTE: Spills or cleaning solutions on the keys can cause unwanted operation. Dry the control area with a clean cloth and reset the control to correct.
•All of the induction elements under the cooking zones feature temperature limiters to ensure a safe operat- ing temperature for the glass ceramic top. The ele- ments automatically cycle on and off. At higher power settings, the induction element will stay on for longer periods of time.
