Using Your Cooktop

Induction Cooktop

Power level settings

The cooktop offers 19 power levels, including a Boost setting. Power levels range from “L” to 9 in precise half-step increments. For example: 1, 1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2 and up to power level 9.

Power Level “L”, the lowest setting, is recommended for “Keep Warm.”

The power level increases one-half level with each touch.

Power level 9 is the highest normal power setting.

1/2

The power level with a fraction indicates the additional half-step setting.

Flashing “F” in display

If a pan is removed or moved off-center from the cooking ring during the cooking process, the control will flash “F” along with the power setting. The flashing “F” indicates that the pan is no longer detected. After 30 seconds, the element will be deactivated and the display will turn off.

If the pan is returned to the surface element within 30 seconds, the flashing “F” will disappear and cooking will resume.

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:

1Place a pan matching the size of the induction element over the selected indicator ring.

2Touch the ON/OFF pad. “5” will flash in the display.

3Touch 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.
