Surface Operation

Rear and Front

Elements

Push in and turn the control knob

counterclockwise to the desired setting.

The element will

adjust the power output to maintain

the desired heat setting. Some elements have a “Boost” feature. A boost of power is provided for 10 minutes and is used for quickly boiling water when the element is turned to “HI”. When finished boiling, turn the control knob to “MED HI” to maintain the boil or to a lower setting for steaming, warming, and simmering sauces. Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous and boiling time is decreased when using the proper induction cookware.

CA UTIO N

DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.

Surface Indicator Lights The surface indicator lights

are located at

the front of the glass cooktop.

The indicator lights are used

to indicate activation, hot surface, and warnings.

Note: If all elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside of the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop to turn off.
