Please note that the power level control
The length of time it takes for the Boil alert beep to go off after the water reached the boiling point will vary. Factors that determine the timing of the alert beep include cookware diameter, amount of water in the cookware, the flatness of the cookware bottom surface(the flatter, the better) and iron content of cookware.
Since the Boil alert only works on the 11” element, we recommend that you use cookware that is at least 7.5” in surface diameter to enjoy the full benefit of Boil alert.
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
Use quality cookware in good condition
The cookware used with the cooktop surface should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.
Also remember to:
•Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking. See the “Correct Cookware Type” (28 page).
•Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
•The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
•Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.
•The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been
CAUTION turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.
•DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands. Always
CAUTION use oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
•DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may
CAUTION permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
