Use the Correct Cookware Type

For the induction zones, the magnetic Cooking Zone

sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use

of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start

the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.

When purchasing pans, look for cookware specically

identied by the manufacturer for use with Induction

cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether

the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the

bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for

Induction cooking (See Fig. 1).

Fig. 1

It is recommended to always use heavier high quality

stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop

surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing

scratches on the ceramic surface.

Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface,

especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop

surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type

of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the

overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup

of scratches will make cleaning the surface difcult and

degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP

Induction Cooktop Features

A COOLER COOKTOP- A unique feature of the

Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the

cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic

cooktops.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be

cool while turned ON and after they have been turned

OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat

transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR- The coil sensor automatically

detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates ac-

cidental "turn-On".

PAN SIZE DETECTION- The pan recognition sensor

automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to

the pan sizes in use.

EFFICIENT- Induction cooking heats faster while using

less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and

when simmering.

Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have

at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface

of the Cooking Zone. Check for atness by rotating a ruler

across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to

follow all the recommendations for using cookware.

Figure 2

Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply a

cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with

a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will make cleaning easier

when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning

cream leaves a protective nish on the glass to help prevent

scratches and abrasions.

Also remember to:

• Use cookware made with the correct material type for

Induction Cooking.

• 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.

CAUTION

• The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while

turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The

glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred

from the cookware and burns may occur.

• DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.

Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of

the ceramic cooktop.

• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly

with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to

protect hands from burns.

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP



NOTE

Pan bottoms should not extend more than ½” (13mm)

beyond outer Cooking Zone (Induction).



NOTE

If a pan made of the correct material is centered

properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO

SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone display will ash the

power level and the pan will not heat.

The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop

require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location

(Figs. 2 & 3).

The outer tips of each cooking zone cross-hair is helpful

to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the

cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does

not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the

Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the

glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the

metal cooktop trims.

Cookware Recommendations Minimum Pan Size Requirements



NOTE

ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1

may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic

cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of

these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will

not heat indicated by a ashing power level in the digital

display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before

attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

Be sure to follow the following recommendations for

using cookware as shown:

INCORRECT

CORRECT

• Cookware not centered

on Cooking Zone surface.

• Cookware centered

correctly on Cooking

Zone surface.

• Curved or warped pan

bottoms or sides.

• Flat pan bottom & straight

sides.

• Pan does not meet the

minimum size required for

the Cooking Zone used.

• Pan size meets or exceeds

the recommended minimum

size for the Cooking Zone.

• Pan bottom rests on cook-

top trim or does not rest

completely on the cook-

top surface.

The Electronic Surface Element

Control

The Electronic Surface Element Control includes digital display

windows. The control provides a numeric digital setting for the

surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work

the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except

the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 1 thru 8).

The available Display Settings

The control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo

(Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings between 9.0 and 1.5

decrease or increase in increments of .5 (1/2).

Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)

After using any of the element positions the cooktop will

become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF,

the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The control monitors

the temperature of the cooktop and displays the message "HE"

(hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch

(See Fig. 5). If the HE message appears in the window, the

control can still be turned ON again for use.

Power Boost Indicator Message (Pb)

When an induction zone is rst set at Hi, the Power Boost

feature will turn on (see Fig. 6). The Power Boost feature

is used to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking

temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power Boost

feature will give you up to 139% power output for a set

amount of time (approx. 10 min).

Error Indicator Message

An error message will be displayed at power up (or after a

power failure) if ANY of the surface control knobs were left

in the ON positions. If any control knobs were turned on

during a power failure of more than 10 seconds, the display

will show an “Er” message. If a power failure should occur,

be sure to set all of the surface control knobs to the OFF

position. This will reset the surface controls.

The induction zones are equipped with a pot detection system.

If the controls are activated and the detection system cannot

nd any pot of the correct material on the zone, it will ash

its power level for 3 minutes. After ashing for 3 minutes,

the digital display will show an “- -” message.

Error message “C” will only appear during a fault condition.

Error messages “Er” and “- -” may appear on display after

an invalid action by the user. Set surface control knob to

the OFF position to reset the control.

Once the surface controls have been set to the OFF positions,

the surface controls should return to normal operation. If

the surface controls do not function and the “C”, “Er”, or

“- -” message remains in any display after following these

procedures, contact your authorized servicer for assistance.

Power Management

In order to give you more exibility, your induction

cooktop is equipped with more cooking zones than the

number of induction generators. Each of those generators

is assigned to power a specic cooking zone. One or two

cooking zones are assigned to each generator. If you use

more than one cooking zone at high power on the same

generator, the generator may need to manage its power

to both cooking zones.

Depending on the size of your cooktop, 2 or 3 generators

are available:

• The 30” cooktop is equipped with 4 cooking zones

within 2 sections.

• The 36” cooktop is equipped with ve cooking zones

within 3 sections.

To get the highest power output from your

cooking zones, start your cooking process on only one

cooking zone within the heating section and then add

your second cookware on the second cooking zone when

the rst one has already reached its cooking temperature.

Preheat Recommendations

When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch

carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay

attention to any items cooking and remain attentive until

the cooking process is complete.

Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of

time required to preheat a cooking utensil.

Operational Noises

The electronics generating the induction elds are pretty

much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power

level. A soft-sounding cooling fan activates when the

unit is running multiple cooking zones at once or when a

cooking zone is set at very high power settings.

The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is

not coming from the electronics but from the cookware

you are using. Here are some causes of this noise:

• Most induction-ready cookware are made of several

layers of materials. An encapsulated steel layer

is usually used to harness the induction eld and

transform it into heat, which is then transferred to

the other materials by radiant energy. The induction

eld will cause the steel layer to vibrate against the

other materials in which it is encapsulated. This is

the most common cause of noise from the induction

process. This buzzing only happens at the higher

power level settings. Note that high quality cookware

manufacturers weld this steel layer in place which

lowers or cancel this noise.

• Light weight cookware may also vibrate. We

recommend using heavy weight quality cookware.

• Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the

ceramic glass surface at high power settings.

• The power output of your induction

cooktop is capable of warping an empty pan. Never

use the higher power settings on an empty pan. Even

the highest quality cookware is vulnerable to warping.

• Riveted handles on cookware can also cause buzzing

sounds from the vibrations.

• Solid cast iron and enamelware cookware should not

emit any noise. Top quality cookware made of several

layers should also be relatively quiet.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop

Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS

AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE DIFFICULTY AND EXTENT

OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.

Surfaces How to Clean

Stainless Steel

Decorative Trim Cooktop, Control

Knobs, Control Panel

Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control

panel, turn all controls to OFF and remove the control knobs. To remove, pull each

knob straight off the shaft. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Do not use

cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use

harsh scrubbing cleaners. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before

wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or

around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Only use kitchen cleaners

that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the

cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be

removed. To replace knobs after cleaning, line up the at sides of both the knob

and the shaft; then push the knob into place.

Ceramic Glass

Cooktop

See Ceramic Glass Cooktop in this Owner’s Guide.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &

Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is

essential to maintaining your Ceramic

glass cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply

a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in most

hardware, grocery and department stores) to the ceramic

surface. Clean and buff with a clean paper towel. This will

make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. Cooktop

cleaning creams leave a protective nish on the glass to

help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the

cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop

surface. These marks should be removed immediately

after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning

cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not

removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough

bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do

not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.

Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work

surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the

cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or

hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.

CARE & CLEANING

Cleaning Recommendations for the

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of cleaning creme directly to the

cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abrasive

plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop

surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly,

leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of cleaning Creme directly to the soiled

area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abrasive plastic

type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed. Do

not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any

other purpose.

Do not use the following on the ceramic glass

cooktop:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,

such as metal and some nylon pads. They may

scratch the cooktop, making it more difcult to

clean.

• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine

bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may

etch or discolor the cooktop.

• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper

towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the

cooktop which can burn and cause Special

Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum

Cooking Utensils

WARNING

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.

The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can

chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

CAUTION

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are

turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

• Aluminum foil

Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not

use under any circumstances.

• Aluminum utensils

Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower

than that of other metals, care must be taken when

aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry

may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing

to, or marking it.

Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior

parts. Special care and cleaning are required for

maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer

to the General Care & Cleaning table for detailed

cleaning instructions.

IMPORTANT

Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you

use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning

products that have been specically designed for

ceramic glass cooktop.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor

blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the

surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a few drops

of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.

Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:

These types of soils need be removed immediately if

spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface.

Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop

surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After

turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade

scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil

from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to

cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on

soils.
