Be sure to place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (see pages 7 & 8) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for the amount of food being prepared.

To Turn ON one or more Cooking Zones:
1.Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface.
2.Touch and hold the key pad for 2 seconds (or until a long beep sounds). The Power LED located above the key pad will turn ON. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the cooktop will clear.

4.Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by
touching either the or key pad. If the key pad is touched the Cooking Zone will start at a “Power Boost” maximum power level (the Cooking Zone display will indicate “P” and the control will beep once). If the key pad is touched once the Cooking Zone will start at low (the Cooking Zone display will show “1 ” and the control will beep once). PLEASE NOTE: If the cookware requirements for the Cooking Zone (See pages 7 & 8) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and the display will flash with the power level in the affected
Cooking Zone display. Any problems must be corrected before proceeding.
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the or key pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at any time during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels touch and hold the or key pads until the power level desired is reached). Once the Cooking Zone power level has been set the food will begin to heat at that level until the power level is manually changed or power sharing is activated.
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1.Once cooking is complete, touch the key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2.The corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF LED located
above the key pad will turn OFF. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level display will turn off. If no other key pads are touched the Cooking Zone will shut OFF.
3.When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking Zone display may show H if the Cooking Zone temperature is HOT. The display will continue to show H, even if the Cooktop is switched OFF the display will continue to indicate H as long as the cooking zone remains HOT.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
Important operating notes:
•Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code and turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the objects from the cooktop. The zone that was affected has to be touched twice on the ON/OFF key. Once to clear the stuck key and once to turn the zone back on.
•Be sure the cooktop vent holes are NOT blocked. If the vent holes are blocked the cooktop internal sensor may shut OFF the cooktop to avoid overheating the appliance.
•If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected
Cooking Zone display will flash the power level set for the
Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF.
