Preheating Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of
time normally required to preheat a cooking utensil
when compared to cooking with a radiant element
cooktop or gas surface burner. Whenever using the
cooktop or oven, always pay close attention to all
food items cooking and remain very attentive until
the cooking processes are complete.
Setting cooktop cooking zones
Be sure to use cookware that meets the correct
conditions for the cooking zone desired (See pages
14 & 15). Place the cookware with the prepared
food on the cooking zone before setting the
cooktop control.
To turn ON one or more of the cooking zones:
1. If needed, wake the control panel.
.
Place the prepared food using the correct type
and size cookware on the desired cooking
zone. Be sure to center the cookware on the
cooking zone completely covering the minimum
ring marked on the zone surface.
,
Touch the ON OFF key for the desired cooking
zone. A beep will sound, the chosen cooking
zone display will show a red heating ring and
the power level will show "0.0", indicating the
zone is ready. If no other key is touched within
5 seconds, the request to power ON the
cooking zone will clear.
.
Set the desired power level for the cooking
zone by touching the hi +, reed (power level
5.0) or Io - key. If the hi + key is touched once,
the cooking zone will start at a Pb (Power
Boost) maximum power level. If the Io - key is
touched once the cooking zone will start at the
lowest setting available.
To turn OFF the cooking zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the ON OFF
key to turn the cooking zone OFF.
.
When any cooking zone is OFF, the hot surface
(HE) message indicator may turn on if the
cooking zone temperature is HOT. The hot
surface (HE) message will remain ON as long
as the cooktop remains hot.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS
directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or
pot holders to protect hands from burns.
The cooking zones may appear to be cool
when heating and after they have been turned
OFF. The induction cooking zones will not turn
red when they are on. The glass surface may
be HOT from residual heat transfered from the
cookware and burns may occur.
IMPORTANT
If the cookware is moved from the center of any
active cooking zone, a sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat.
The affected cooking zone display window will
show no red heating ring indicating the need to
center the cook_Jare. The cooking zone will
remember the power level setting for up to 3
minutes before the cooking zone will
automatically shut OFR If the cookware is
brought back properly centered over the cooking
zone again, the red heating ring in the display
will turn back on. The affected cooking zone will
resume heating and will remember the original
power level setting.
NOTES
If the Hi power level is desired instead of Pb
(Power Boost) when activating a cooking zone,
press the hi+ key once then press Io- key to
reduce from Pb to Hi.
Use the hi+ or Io- keys to adjust or scroll
through power levels at any time during the
cooking process. To quickly scroll through the
power levels, touch and hold the hi+ or Io-
key until the power level desired is reached.
Once the cooking zone power level has been
set, the food will begin to heat at that level
until the power level is manually changed.
