Induction Power Sharing
How Power Sharing works
Your cooktop is equipped with four induction
cooking zones within two heating zone sections.
The right-hand and left-hand cooking zone sections
(See Fig. 1) are powered by two independent
induction inverters - one inverter for each of the
two heating sections. Two cooking zones in a
heating section share the power of the same
inverter. This is called "Power Sharing".
If pans are cooking food items on both right-hand
cooking zones, the last power level set will be
maintained, while the first pan may experience a
reduction in the power level setting.
For best results
Power Sharing Tip:
To help avoid power sharing, you may choose to
maintain a constant power level for 2 food items at
the same time by placing the pans on one of the
left-hand zones and the other pan on one of the
right-hand zones. See the example of pan
placement in Fig. 2.
Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with Induction
cooking may create some unusual background
noises. You may hear a slight "buzz" sound when
cooking. These noises are normal and are a part of
the Induction cooking process. Some cookware will
"buzz" louder depending on the material. The
"buzz" sound may be more noticeable if the
contents of the pan are cold; as the pan heats up,
the sound will decrease. If the power setting is
reduced, the sound level will also decrease.
Please note that these noises are more noticeable
while cooking at the "Pb" level. Very loud noises
are not part of normal Induction cooking.

Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located under the left side of the
control panel. When the upper oven is operational,
warm air will pass through this vent naturally. The
venting is necessary for proper air circulation and
provides good baking results in the upper oven.
do not place items on the cooktop that will block
this area.
