Safety

“H” indicates that the Boost power level has been selected for rapid cooking and boiling.

Boost Setting

Boost is the highest power level, designed for large quantity rapid cooking and boiling. Boost will operate for a maximum of 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, it will automatically revert to power level 9.

Boost may be repeated after the initial 10 minute cycle.

CAUTION: Do not leave a pot unattended while in the Boost Mode.

To start the Boost power setting:

Place a pan matching the size of the induction element over the selected indicator ring.

Touch the ON/OFF pad. “5” will flash in the display.

Touch and hold the (+) pad until the display reads “H.”

NOTE: If the pan is removed, the display will flash “F” alternating to “H”. After 30 seconds, the elements will turn off automatically.

Sounds you may hear:

You may hear a slight “buzz” sound when cooking with the Boost or high mode. This is normal. The sound depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will “buzz” louder depending on the material. A “buzz” sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is reduced, the sound level will go down.

Instructions Operating Instructions Care

4 burner cooktops with right and left side (2) induction generators.

5 burner cooktops with right, left and center (3) induction generators.

Power Sharing

Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones. The right and left side cooking zones are powered by separate and independent induction generators. One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within a heating section share the power of one generator.

Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones. The right and left side have separate cooking zones and the large center element is another separate cooking zone.

Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost (H). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing. When Boost operation is complete

(10 minutes), the other element may be reset to any power level. Both elements can operate simultaneously at normal power level settings of “L” to 9.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOUR BURNER MODELS:

The elements on the right side share one generator. Both elements can operate at any non-Boost (level L to 9) power level at the same time. When the large 11element is set for “H” or Boost, the smaller element is automatically shut off and cannot be activated. After 10 minutes, Boost (H) will revert to power level 9. At that time, the smaller element may be activated and set for any power level.
