Setting Cooktop Controls
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones (cont'd)
IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES:
Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code and
turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the objects from the cooktop.
Be sure the cooktop vent holes are NOT blocked. If the vent holes are blocked the cooktop internal sensor may shut
OFF the cooktop to avoid overheating the appliance.
If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will flash the power
level set for the Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the
Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF.
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the O key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2. The corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF LED located above the G key pad will turn OFF. A beep will sound
and the chosen Cooking Zone power level Alpha-Numeric display will turn off. If no other key pads are touched the
Cooking Zone will shut OFF automatically in 10 seconds. If no other Cooking Zones are active and no other key pads
are touched the entire cooktop will shut OFF automatically in 10 more seconds.
3. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display may show liE if the
Cooking Zone temperature is HOT. The Alpha-Numeric display will continue to display liE, and even if the Cooktop is
switched OFF the Alpha-Numeric display will continue to indicate HE as long as the cooking zone remains HOT.
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 transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
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.
Keep Warm Feature
The Warm feature may be used with any of the Cooking Zones.
To Turn the Keep Warm Feature ON:
1. To select the Keep Warm feature for any Cooking Zone touch the O key pad for the corresponding Cooking
Zone.
2. Touch the Q key pad located in the main control area. The Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will show
LH
(Low heat) indicating that the Cooking Zone is properly set to Keep Warm.
