5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

• Never leave prepared food on the cooking zones. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt or become damaged.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as recommended after

the cooking process, if used as a cover to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil may

result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.

• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician

immediately.

• Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite.

• Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

• Keep pets away from the product to avoid risk of fire or burns. Do not allow pets to climb on the product

even when it is not in operation.

• Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without

appearing to be boiling, due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling is not always

present when the container is removed from the cooktop. This could result in very hot liquids suddenly

boiling over when the container is disturbed or a spoon or other utensil is inserted into the liquid. To

reduce the risk of injury to persons:

- Do not overheat the liquid.

- Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.

- Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.

- After heating, allow the container to stand on the cooktop for a short time before moving the

container.

- Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container after heating.

• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface or storage space.

• Do not operate the cooking zones with empty pots or pans.

• Do not turn on the cooking zones with no pots or pans on the element.

• The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised

continuously.

• The appliance must not be installed behind a decorative door in order to avoid overheating.

Maintenance

• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance. All servicing should be done only by a qualified

technician to avoid the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Take care to avoid steam burns if using a wet sponge or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area.

• Wait for the cooktop to cool before using cooktop cleaners. Some cleaners can produce NOXIOUS

FUMES if applied to a hot surface.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly

qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• If your appliance malfunctions or fractures, switch off all cooking zones, and contact an LG Customer

Information Center for service.

• Always keep the control panel clean and dry. Do not let liquids or grease remain on the cooktop display

area. Spilled or burnt-on foods can activate or deactivate the appliance. Clean the display area

thoroughly to resume normal operation of the appliance.

• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation

hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on the hood or filters.

Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION STATEMENTS

CAUTION

• To reduce the risk of minor or moderate injury to persons, malfunction, or damage to the product or

property when using this product, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Operation

• This appliance may only be used for normal cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for

commercial or industrial purposes.

• Use proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes.

• Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the cooking zones. The pan detection

sensors will not allow the affected cooking zones to operate without a pan present.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable

for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

• Do not place hot cookware on cold cooktop glass. This could cause the glass to break.

• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may scratch the cooktop surface.

• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking

that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.)

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly, meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160 ℉ and poultry to at

least an INTERNAL temperature of 180 ℉. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-

borne illnesses.

• Prior to using the cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning cream to the

ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier when the cooktop

gets soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to

help prevent scratches and abrasions.

• Please be careful of the cooktop edges when moving pots and pans.

• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It

can be damaged if hard or sharp objects fall on it.

• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron, or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these

can cause scratches on the glass.

• Do not slide metal or glass across the cooktop surface.

• Do not use cookware with any dirt buildup on the bottom.

• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bottoms. This cookware can mark and scratch the cooktop

surface.

• Do not use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.

• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control

system.

Maintenance

• Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

• For safety reasons, do not clean the appliance with a steam jet or high-pressure cleaner.

• Clean the cooktop in accordance with the maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or rough metal scrapers to clean the cooktop glass since they can

scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

• Clean the cooktop cautiously. Do not use sponges or cloth to wipe spills on a hot cooking area. Use a

proper metal scraper.

Introduction to Induction

Cooking

How Induction Cooking Works

An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass

cooking surface generates magnetic fields, which

act directly on the base of the pots and pans.

Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method

heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time

and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is

generated directly in the base of the pan, the

cooking zone itself warms up only slightly. The

cooktop does become hot when heat is

transferred from the cookware.

IMPORTANT:

• Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic

circuits and interfere with portable radios and

phones.

• Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g.,

credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or

near the ceramic glass surface while one or

more induction cooking zones are in use.

• Do not put any metal objects (e.g., spoons, pan

lids) on the cooking zones as they can become

hot when the cooking zones are in use.

NOTE

• Before using the induction cooking elements,

carefully read and follow these cookware

recommendations and the instructions in the

pan sensing sections.

When purchasing pans for use on the induction

cooktop, look for cookware identified by the

manufacturer as "induction ready" or "induction

capable", or that is marked by the manufacturer as

specifically designed for induction cooking.

The base material of the cookware must be

magnetic for the cooking elements to activate. Use

a magnet to check if the cookware base material is

suitable. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the

cookware, the cookware can be used for induction

cooking.

For the best possible surface cooking results, use

only high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on

the induction cooking elements. Follow

manufacturer's recommendations when using

induction cookware.

Induction Cookware Types

The three most common induction cookware types

available are stainless steel, cast iron, and

porcelain-enamel-coated metals.

•Stainless Steel is generally excellent for

induction cooking. It is durable, easy to clean,

and resists staining.

NOTE

• Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic;

stainless steel is not always suitable for

induction cooking.

•Cast iron cooks evenly and is also good for

induction cooking. Do not slide cast iron

cookware on the cooktop; cast iron cookware

with a rough surface will scratch the ceramic

cooktop.

•Porcelain-enamel-coated metals have variable

heating characteristics depending on the quality

of the base metal. Make sure the porcelain-

enamel coating is smooth to avoid scratching

the ceramic cooktop.

Incompatible Cookware

• Aluminum, nickel-silver pots

• Heat-resistant glass pots

• Roasting pans

• Stone pots

• Stainless steel pots (without the IH mark)

- Without the IH mark, heating may not work

well.

ENGLISH

• Pots with partially magnetic base

- Even if there is an IH mark, a container that

only has magnetic material on part of the

bottom of the container may not be

automatically detected or the product may not

work properly.

aMaterial that sticks to the magnet

bMaterial that does not stick to magnet

• A pot with legs

• A pot with a round bottom

- The smaller contact area may give poor

results.

• Do not use a container with a flat bottom surface

smaller than the burner size.

Pan Preheat Recommendations

Induction cooking may decrease the amount of

time required to preheat cookware compared to

cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas

surface burner.

Pay close attention to all food items while cooking

on the cooktop and until all cooking processes are

complete.

CAUTION

• Remember that induction surface cooking

initially heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the

cookware does not contain food.

Noises during Cooktop Operation

The electronic processes involved with induction

cooking may create some background noises. You

may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on

the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction

cooking process and are considered normal.

Some cookware will buzz, depending on the

construction or base material. The buzz may be

more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold.

As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The

noise will also decrease if the power level setting is

reduced.

NOTE

• When using the induction cooktop, operational

noises are more noticeable while cooking in

Boost mode. But very loud noises are not normal

when induction cooking.

• The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the

temperature of the product, even when the

surface elements are not being used.

• Cookware that is not marked "IH" may make a

loud noise.

• Under certain conditions, your cookware may

produce a high-pitched whistling noise when

two elements are in use at the same time. The

power levels at which this occurs may vary

depending on the kind of cookware being used.

Change the power level to eliminate the noise or

reduce its volume.

Use Flat-Bottomed Cookware

Cookware must fully contact the surface of the

cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to

fit the cooking element and amount of food being

prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware.

• The center area is a dual cooking zone which

activates single or dual elements depending on

pot/pan size. If the cooktop detects cookware

that is less than 9" in diameter, only the inner

ring(single element) will activate. If it detects

cookware larger than 9" in diameter, it will

activate both the inner and outer rings(dual

element).

• To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set

the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at

least 9" in diameter so that the center dual

element is activated, and turn off all other

elements.

Minimum Cookware Size

• Use cookware with a bottom surface diameter of

5 13/16" (147 mm) or greater.

• For flexible cooking zone, minimum cookware

size is 4 3/4" x 10 5/8" (120 mm x 270 mm).

Cookware Placement

Use the proper cookware and place it correctly on

the cooktop. One or more of the cooking elements

will not heat if any of the incorrect conditions

shown is detected by the sensors located below

the ceramic cooktop surface. Correct the problem

before attempting to use the cooktop.

Correct

• Cookware is centered correctly on surface of

cooking element.

• Pan has flat bottom and straight sides.

• Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended

minimum size for the cooking element.

• Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.

• Pan is properly balanced.

Incorrect

• Cookware is not centered on surface of cooking

element.

• Pan has curved or warped bottom or sides.

• Pan does not meet the minimum size required

for the cooking element used.

• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not

rest completely on the cooktop surface.

• Pan is unbalanced by heavy handle.

Avoiding Scratches

Use heavier gauge stainless steel cookware on

your ceramic cooktop surface. This will help reduce

the possibility of developing scratches on the

ceramic surface.

Low-quality cookware can scratch the cooktop

surface.

Cookware should always be lifted over the ceramic

cooktop surface to prevent scratching.

Over time, sliding ANY type of cookware over the

ceramic cooktop may alter the overall appearance

of the cooktop. Eventually, the buildup of scratches

can make cleaning the surface difficult and

degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Scratches can also result from grains of sand (from

washing vegetables) which are dragged with the

pot across the cooking surface.

For Best Results

Always follow the recommendations for proper

cookware type and size. In addition:

• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup.

Always use pans that are easy to clean after

cooking, and make sure that the bottoms of the

pans are clean and dry.

• When cooking with large amounts of liquid, use

large pots so that nothing can boil over.

• 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.)

• Match the pan size and cooking zone to the

amount of food being prepared.

Tips for Saving Energy

• Always position pots and pans before switching

on the cooking zone.

anot aligned

• Dirty cooking zones and cookware use more

electricity.

• Whenever possible, place lids firmly on pots and

pans so that they are completely covered.

• The base of the pot should be the same size as

the cooking zone.
