Before Using the Cooktop
Use Quality Cookware in Good
Condition
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 (See Fig. 1). Be sure to follow
all the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Fig. 2.
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct
material type for Induction Cooking (See
page 7 Fig. 1).
• 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.

The Cooking Zones may
appear to be cool while turned ON and
after they have been turned OFF. But the
glass surface may be HOT from residual
heat transfered from the cookware and
burns may occur.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT
COOKWARE or PANS directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot
holders to protect hands from burns.
DO NOT SLIDE
Cookware across the cooktop surface.
Doing so may permanently damage the
appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

PLEASE NOTE - ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in
Fig. 2 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 display. Correct the problems before
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
