You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooktop, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a cooktop – Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Proper Installation – Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
• Never Use Your Cooktop for Warming or Heating the Room.
• Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where cooktop is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the cooktop.
• Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the cooktop.
• User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the cooktop unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Storage on Cooktop – Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units.
• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
• Use Proper Pan Size – This cooktop is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop – If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

For units with ventilating hood

• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
• When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

For units with coil elements

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place – Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
• Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

For units with induction cooktop

• Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot.

Induction Cooking

• Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the cooking surface cooler than a traditional element.
• Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
• The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without turning off the power.
• Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
• Pan size, material (see the “Cookware” section), and positioning are very important to achieve maximum wattage.
• The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the element.
• If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will not activate.

Ceramic Glass
Cleaning off the induction cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most-even heating. For more information, see the “General Cleaning” section.

• Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped between the lid and the cooktop and the ceramic glass could break when the lid is removed.
• For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause pitting and permanent marks.
• To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware across the cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part of the entire cooktop.
• To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.
• Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed, or dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor cooking results.
• Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler, no space or light should be visible between it and the cookware.
• To determine which pan to use on which induction element, measure the bottom of the flat area of your pan. Do not include the sides if they curve up. Use this measurement to help determine which induction element would best fit your pan. Manufacturer measurements listed on pans are usually for the top opening dimension. The flat bottom may be smaller.
• Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits when heated.

Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.

Ferromagnetic materials include:

• Enameled steel
• Cast iron
• Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-ferromagnetic materials include:

These types of pans will not work with induction cooking:

• Stainless steel
• Glass
• Ceramic
• Copper or aluminum pans

To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking.

The number on the surface cooking area heat setting display will flash if no pan is placed on the surface cooking area, the pan is not made of the correct material, or it is not the correct size. It will stop flashing once a suitable pan is placed on the surface cooking area or when the surface cooking area is turned off. Ideal cookware should have a flat bottom, straight sides, and a well-fitting lid, and the material should be of medium-to-heavy thickness. Choose the correct pan size for each surface cooking area. The diameter of the pan’s base should correspond to the size of the flexible cooking area or the bridge cooking area. See the “Flexible Size Cooking Area” section or the “Bridge” section for more information.

NOTE:
Cookware manufacturers often give the diameter across the top of the pan. This is usually larger than the diameter of the base.

Pans with rough finishes may scratch the cooktop.

COOKTOP CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT:
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the cooktop is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first unless otherwise noted.

CERAMIC GLASS

Cleaning Method:
To avoid damaging the cooktop, do not use steel wool, abrasive powder cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust remover, or ammonia.

1. Remove food/residue with the Cooktop Scraper.

   • For best results, use the Cooktop Scraper while the cooktop is still warm but not hot to the touch. It is recommended to wear an oven mitt while scraping the warm cooktop.
   • Hold the Cooktop Scraper at approximately a 45° angle against the glass surface and scrape the residue. It will be necessary to apply pressure in order to remove the residue.
     Allow the cooktop to cool down completely before proceeding to Step 2.

2. Apply a few dime-sized drops of Cooktop Cleaner to the affected areas.

   • Rub Cooktop Cleaner onto the cooktop surface with the blue Cooktop Cleaning Pad. Some pressure is needed to remove stubborn stains.
   • Allow the cleaner to dry to a white haze before proceeding to Step 3.

3. Polish with a clean, dry cloth or a clean, dry paper towel.

   • Repeat steps 1 through 3 as necessary for stubborn or burned-on stains.

The Complete Cooktop Cleaner Kit is available for order and includes the following:

1. Cooktop Scraper
2. Cooktop Cleaner
3. Blue Cooktop Cleaning Pads

See the “Accessories” section for part numbers and information on ordering.

Is the cooktop control set to the proper heat level? See the “Cooktop Controls” section.

Is the cooktop level? Level the cooktop. See the Installation Instructions.

Display shows messages| Is the display flashing when you place a saucepan on an induction surface cooking area? Check that the saucepan is electromagnetic. Check that the diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Center the saucepan on the surface cooking area. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the event that it has become hot when used. Switch the surface cooking area Off, then On again. If the display still does not light up, turn power off at the circuit breaker. Wait 20 seconds and turn power back on. If the display still does not work, call for service. See the “Warranty” section for contact information.

Is the Performance Boost function display flashing and switching off? The Performance Boost function will operate only one cooking area in a cooktop zone. If both areas in a cooktop zone are set for Performance Boost, the area set last will continue at the Performance Boost power level and the other cooking area will reset to power level 5. It is possible that the function will switch the surface cooking area to a lower setting to keep the cooktop from overheating. You can continue to use the cooktop if the display is not flashing.

Is “E” in the display? The electronics system may be defective. Turn off power at the circuit breaker, wait 20 seconds, and then turn the circuit breaker back on. If the display continues to show “E,” turn off the cooktop and call for service. See the “Warranty” section for contact information.

Operational cooktop sounds| Is there a low humming? This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound will quiet or go away when the power is turned down.

Is there a crackling? This sound occurs when cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers. It may change depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.

Is there a fan noise? The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The cooktop is fitted with a fan that runs at various speeds according to the temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has been switched off if the temperature it detects is too high.
