OPERATION

READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

The cooking surface areas of your glass ceramic cook top are identified by permanent patterns in the cook top. The appliance is easy to maintain and easy to clean. Keeping the cook top in top performance can be achieved by following the simple guidelines for use and cleaning below:

Chances are that your existing cookware will work just fine with your glass ceramic cook top. Cooking on a glass ceramic cook top does not require special pots or pans. Since cookware plays an important role in cooking efficiency and convenience, keep in mind the following information when selecting your cookware.

The cookware should have a flat bottom. Although glass and other types of cookware can be used, metal cookware with thick, smooth, flat bottoms will generally conduct the heat well. Aluminum and stainless steel cookware usually works best. Avoid cookware with shaped and rounded bottoms as well as utensils that warp when heated.

Use cookware of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about as wide as the cooking zone on which it is used – not much wider or much narrower. By using utensils with the correct diameter, you should achieve maximum heating efficiency with the shortest possible boiling times.

Be certain that both the cook top panel and the bottom of your pots and pans are clean and dry before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains.

Heating Elements

This KENYON cook top contains ribbon-type, radiant heating elements. The radiant elements will “light up” about 4-5 seconds after being turned on. The special design of these elements direct the heat up through the ceramic glass providing efficient cooking. Temperature limiters are included in each element to ensure that the safe operating temperature of the ceramic glass top is not exceeded. The temperature limiter will cycle the radiant element off to prevent exceeding the maximum surface temperature.

Knobs & Indicator Lights

The cooking area controls are called “infinite” controls. This type of control has an infinite selection of heat settings. The control settings begin at low and increase heat output by cycling the heating elements between “off” and full power as you turn the knob clockwise. The heating elements will stay at full power for longer periods and at zero power for shorter periods as you turn the knob clockwise, thus controlling the heat output.

UL/C-UL specifications

Kenyon UL and C-UL are sophisticated induction cooktops that seamlessly merge modern technology with user-friendly design, elevating the culinary experience. Kenyon is renowned for its commitment to innovative cooking solutions, and the UL and C-UL models epitomize the brand’s vision of efficiency, safety, and style.

One of the standout features of Kenyon UL/C-UL cooktops is their induction heating technology. Unlike traditional gas or electric cooktops that transfer heat through direct contact, induction cooktops use electromagnetic fields to heat pots and pans directly. This results in faster cooking times and greater energy efficiency, as heat is generated only when compatible cookware is placed on the surface. Users can expect to boil water quickly, sear meats to perfection, and achieve precise temperature control, making these cooktops ideal for both novice cooks and professional chefs alike.

Another critical characteristic is the sleek design that complements any kitchen aesthetic. The UL and C-UL cooktops feature a minimalist surface composed of durable materials that are easy to clean. Spills do not burn onto the surface due to the low temperatures around the cook zone, making maintenance a breeze. The elegant appearance of these cooktops not only enhances the kitchen's visual appeal but also provides a functional workspace.

Safety is paramount in kitchen appliances, and Kenyon does not compromise in this area. The UL/C-UL models come equipped with features such as automatic shut-off, which activates when cookware is removed or if there is a malfunction. In addition, these cooktops have child-lock capabilities, ensuring that little hands won’t accidentally turn on the heat.

The UL/C-UL models are also adaptable, accommodating a variety of cooking styles. With multiple heat settings and customizable zones, users can prepare various dishes simultaneously, from simmering sauces to stir-frying vegetables. The versatility of the cooktops makes them suitable for diverse culinary techniques, thus inviting creativity in meal preparation.

In summary, the Kenyon UL and C-UL cooktops represent a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology, safety, and stylish design. Their induction heating system promises quick and efficient cooking, while their aesthetic appeal makes them a perfect fit for any contemporary kitchen. With features prioritizing user safety and convenience, these cooktops are certainly a noteworthy addition for anyone passionate about cooking.
