READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

INDUCTION COOKTOP CHARACTERISTICS

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic field generating instant heat directly in the cookware bottom, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface.

△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.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR

The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates accidental "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 the water.

COOKWARE

USING COMPATIBLE COOKWARE

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, optimally the cookware will have the induction compatible symbol on the retail box. Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable.

It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.

If the base of the cookware is only partially magnetic, only the area that is magnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-magnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

SELECTING SURFACE COOKING COOKWARE

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop 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. Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking.

PROPER COOKWARE MATERIAL

• Magnetic stainless steel

- Enameled iron

- Cast iron

- Nickel

IMPROPER COOKWARE MATERIAL

• Non-magnetic stainless steel

- Heat resistant glass

- Bottom measuring less than 4.7 inches (12 cm)

- Ceramic container

- Pot with stands

- Copper

- Aluminum

ATTENTION:

• 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.

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 difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

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.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Be sure to follow the following recommendations for using cookware:

INCORRECT

• Cookware not centered on Cooking Zone surface.
- Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.
- Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the Cooking Zone used.
- Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.

CORRECT

• Cookware centered correctly on Cooking Zone surface.
- Flat pan bottom & straight sides.
- Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for the Cooking Zone.
- Pan rests completely on the cooktop surface.
- Pan is properly balanced.

NOTE: ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed 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 flashing power level in the digital display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE SIZE

The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.

Cooking zone outer line

COOKWARE SIZE GUIDE

The thick outer line at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MINIMUM size as well as the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does cover 1/2" inside of the thick outer line and 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.

NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2" (13 mm) from outer Cooking Zone (Induction).

If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the power level will flash in the in the digital display and the pan will not heat.

COOKTOP NOISE

The induction fields are generated by electronics equipment, which produce heat at a high power level. A soft-sounding cooling fan runs when the unit is running multiple cooking zones.

Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Some of the possible causes include:

• Clicking noise may be heard at low power settings. This is due to the magnetic fields in use, which is considered normal operation.
• The operational noises may be different with various cookware used on the cooktop.
• Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight stainless steel pan; Light weight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy weight quality cookware is recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic glass surface, though again typically only at high power settings.
• A “cracking” noise may be heard if the cookware base is made of layer of different material.
• A low “humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is normal particularly at high power settings.
• Whistling can occur if both cooking zones are being used at the same time at the high settings, and the cookware has bases made of layer of different material.
• Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when riveted on, can vibrate slightly.
• High quality cookware of solid cast iron including enamelware will lower the noise.

Once the Minute Timer reaches "00", a "beep" will sound, indicating that the time is finished, and the selected cooking zone will automatically shut off.

If you want to set another cooking zone to switch-off automatically, touch Minute Timer key until the desired time symbol indicator blinks, and repeat the same steps above.

If you want to check the remaining time for another cooking zone, touch the Minute Timer until the Minute Timer symbol indicator for the desired cooking zone blinks.

If more than one Timer is programmed, the shortest time remaining will appear in the Minute Timer display and the indicator for that particular cooking zone will be blinking.

TO CANCEL TIMER

Touch the Minute Timer until the Minute Timer symbol indicator for the desired cooking zone blinks, then touch the “+” or “-” to set the timer to 00. The Minute Timer display will blink for 5 seconds and then turn off, indicating that the timer of selected cooking zone has been cancelled.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR

After using any of the cooking zone, the cooking area will remain hot. Even after turning off the entire unit, the surface of the cooktop will remain hot for some time. The digital display

for the cooking zone will show an “H” to warn the user that the surface is hot to touch (Hot surface indicator) after the cooking zone switch off. You may turn the cooking zone back on even if the “H” is displayed. Wait until the “H” is no longer displayed to clean the unit.

⚠ WARNING Even when an "H" indicator is off after cooking, some residual heat may still remain on the surface of the cooktop.

AUTO TURN OFF

After 2 hours of continuous operation, the cooking zone will automatically turn off.

COMPATIBLE COOKWARE

PROPER COOKWARE

Flat-bottomed pots or pans with or made from the following:

• Magnetic stainless steel
- Cast iron
- Enameled iron
- Nickel

IMPROPER COOKWARE

Pots or pans with or made of the following CANNOT be used on your cooktop:

• Non-magnetic stainless steel
• Bottom measuring less than
- 12 cm(4.7 inches)
- Pot with stands
- Heat resistant glass
- Ceramic container
- Copper
- Aluminum
- Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable.

Optimally the cookware will have this induction compatibility symbol on the retail box.

Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable.

NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking zones. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result.

After each use, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and let your cooktop COOL down completely, and then start cleaning your cooktop. When it is cool to the touch, apply approximately 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of non-abrasive cleaner to the surface of the ceramic glass with a lightly damp cloth. Use a second cloth to remove any remaining cleaner residue. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.

DO NOT USE THE FOLLOWING TO CLEAN YOUR UNIT

• Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach as these materials may stain the cooktop
• Caustic cleaners that may etch the surface
• Abrasive cleaners
  • Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges
• Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach
• Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40

NOTE: Sugary products can damage the ceramic glass surface. If dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products, or milk spills on the surface DURING heating, clean the glass surface immediately.

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 a ceramic glass cleaner with cleaning pad for ceramic glass.
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.

NOTE: If the ceramic glass top of the cooktop is broken, turn off the unit and the circuit breaker. The cooktop glass will have to be replaced.

If you encounter the following problems while using your cooktop, check the guide below to see if you can correct the problem yourself before calling for assistance or service:
