49-80826 Rev. 2 13

Using Your Cooktop

Induction Cooktop

How

Induction

Cooking

Works

The elements beneath the cooking surface

produce a magnetic field that causes the

electrons in the ferrous metal pan to vibrate

and produce heat.

The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat

is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be

generated until a pan is placed on the cooking

surface.

When the element is activated, the pan begins

to heat immediately and in turn heats the

contents of the pan.

Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of

cookware made of ferrous metals—metals to

which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel.

Use pans that fit the element size. The pan

must be large enough for the safety sensor to

activate an element.

The cooktop will not operate if a very small

steel or iron utensil (less than the minimum size

across the bottom) is placed on the cooking

surface when the unit is turned on—items such

as steel spatulas, cooking spoons, knives and

other small utensils.

Use the minimum size pan for the element. The pan

material is correct if a magnet sticks to the bottom.

Min. Size

Cooking

Noise

Cookware “noise”

Slight sounds may be produced by different

types of cookware. Heavier pans such as

enameled cast iron produce less noise than a

lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan. The

size of the pan, and the amount of contents,

can also contribute to the sound level.

When using adjacent elements that are set

at certain power level settings, magnetic

fields may interact and produce a low whistle

or intermitted “hum”. These noises can be

reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising

the power level settings of one or both of the

elements. Pans that completely cover the

element ring will produce less noise.

A low “humming” noise is normal particularly on

high settings.

Sounds you may here: You may hear a slight

“Buzz” when cooking with Hi 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.

14 49-80826 Rev. 2

Use a flat-bottomed wok.

Use a griddle.

Use flat-bottomed pans.

Choosing

The Correct

Cookware

To Use

Using the correct size cookware

Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will

not allow the induction element to turn on,

and the ON indicator for that element location

will flash for 25 seconds and then turn off. If a

pan is removed for more than 25 seconds, the

power will be shut off.

Cookware larger than the element ring may be

used; however, heat will only occur above the

element.

For best results, the cookware must make

FULL contact with the glass surface.

Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware

to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim or

to overlap the cooktop controls.

For best performance, match the pan size to

the element size. Using a smaller pot on a

larger burner will generate less power at any

given setting.

Suitable Cookware

Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for

better heat distribution and even cooking results.

Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless

steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel

and combinations of these materials.

Some cookware is specifically identified by the

manufacturer for use with induction cooktops.

Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work.

Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with

rims or slight ridges can be used.

Round pans give best results. Pans with

warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly.

For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do

not use a wok with a support ring.

Using the

Griddle

CAUTION

Burn Hazard

Ŷ Griddle surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns during and after use. Place and

remove the griddle when it is cool and all surface units are off. Use oven mitts if you will

touch the griddle while hot. Failure to do so can result in burns.

Ŷ Place and remove the griddle only when griddle is cool and all surface burners are

turned OFF.

Before using this cookware for the first time, wash it to make sure it is clean. Then season it

lightly, rubbing cooking oil onto the cooking surface.

How To Place The Griddle

IMPORTANT: Always place and use your griddle

at the designated location on the cooktop.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Ŷ Clean the griddle with a sponge and mild

detergent in warm water. DO NOT use blue

or green scrubbing pads or steel wool.

Ŷ Avoid cooking extremely greasy foods and be

careful of grease spillover while cooking.

Ŷ Never place or store any items on the griddle,

even when it is not in use. The griddle can

become heated when using the surrounding

surface units.

Ŷ Avoid using metal utensils with sharp points

or rough edges, which might damage the

griddle. Do not cut foods on the griddle.

Ŷ Do not use cookware as a storage container

for food or oil. Permanent staining and/or

craze lines could result.

Ŷ Your griddle will discolor over time with use.

Ŷ Do not clean the griddle in a self-cleaning

oven.

Ŷ Always allow the cookware to cool before

immersing in water.

Ŷ Do not overheat the griddle.

Griddle Operation

To turn on the surface units for the entire griddle,

Glass surface

— potential

for permanent

damage

Damage from sugary spills and melted

plastic:

1. Turn off all surface elements. Remove hot

pans.

2. Wearing an oven mitt:

a. Use a single-edge razor blade scraper

(CERAMA BRYTE

®

Ceramic Cooktop

Scraper) to move the spill to a cool area

on the cooktop.

b. Remove the spill with paper towels.

3. Any remaining spillover should be left until

the surface of the cooktop has cooled.

4. Don’t use the surface elements again until

all of the residue has been completely

removed.

NOTE: If pitting or indentation in the glass

surface has already occurred, the cooktop

glass will have to be replaced. In this case,

service will be necessary.

Metal marks

and scratches

1. Be careful not to slide pots and pans across

your cooktop. It will leave metal markings on

the cooktop surface.

These marks are removable using the

CERAMA BRYTE

®

Ceramic Cooktop

Cleaner with a CERAMA BRYTE

®

Cleaning

Pad for Ceramic Cooktops.

2.

If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or

copper are allowed to boil dry, the overlay

may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.

This should be removed immediately before

heating again or the discoloration may be

permanent.

WARNING: Carefully check the bottom of pans

for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.

Our testing shows

that if you are

cooking high sugar

mixtures such as

jelly or fudge and

have a spillover,

it can cause

permanent damage

to the glass surface

unless the spillover

is immediately

removed.
