BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

Use quality cooktop cookware made with magnetic base material

The cooking zones will not activate if the cookware is not constructed with a base magnetic material.

For the best possible surface cooking results, it is recommended to only use high quality heavy gauge cookware on the induction cooking zones.

Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations when using cookware made for induction cooking.

IMPORTANT

For more detailed information about the types of induction cooktop cookware to purchase and how to properly use induction cookware see the Cookware Recommendations section.

Cooktop operational noises

The electronic processes involved with induction cooking may create some unusual background noises. You may hear a slight “buzz” sound when heating with the cooktop.

These noises are a part of the induction cooking process are considered normal.

Some cookware will “buzz” louder depending on the construction or base material used. The “buzz” sound may be more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold; as the pan heats up, the sound will decrease. If the power level setting is reduced, the sound level will also decrease.

NOTE

When using the induction cooktop, operational noises are more noticeable while cooking at the “Pb” level. Very loud noises are not part of normal induction cooking.

Moving cookware on smoothtop

It is recommended to always use heavier gauge high quality cookware on the cooking zones. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.

Even high quality cookware can still scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop without being lifted up.

IMPORTANT

Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass smoothtop.

Any cookware that has rough or dirty bottoms can mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always start with clean cookware.

Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the surface will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the ceramic surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

For more detailed information about the cooktop see “Cooktop maintenance” and “Cooktop cleaning” in the Care & Cleaning section.

Hot cookware and residual heat

The type and size of cookware, cooking duration, the number of cooking zones in use and their power level settings are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread beyond the cooking zones.

The induction cooking zones and areas surrounding the cooking zones may become hot enough to cause burns.

Be sure to read all cautions.

CAUTION

Unlike radiant surface elements, the 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.
