Using the Touch Control
The recommended way to use the touch pads on the cooktop is shown in Fig. 22.
Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad as shown. If the
finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop may not respond to the
selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the
narrow end of your fingertip.

Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has four Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that
meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (Fig. 19) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for the amount
of food being prepared. Place the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any of the
Cooktop controls.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center the
cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the
cookware requirements for the Cooking Zone (See Fig. 20) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and display
the letter
FF

F in the affected Cooking Zone LED. Any problems must be corrected before proceeding.
2. Touch and hold the key pad for 2 seconds (or until a beep sounds). The Power Indicator light located above the
key pad will turn ON. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the
cooktop will clear.
3. To start one or more of the four Cooking Zones lightly touch the key pad for the Cooking Zones needed. A beep
will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level digital display will show

has been set yet. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 5 seconds the request to Power ON the Cooktop Zone

and the control will beep once).
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the or key pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at any
time during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels quickly touch and hold the or key
pads 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. For more information about the available Cooktop Zones

Before Using the Cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit
www.sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad.
This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on
the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
