Before Using Your Cooktop

Clean your cooktop with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted color on the glass surface.

Induction Principle

An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic fi eld which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
It is necessary to use suitable cookware for induction:

• Ferromagnetic cookware such as cast iron, steel, and magnetic stainless steel (the stainless steel must contain some iron). to check it a pot or pan is magnetic, a magnet will stick to it.
• Non-suitable materials are: non-magnetic stainless steel, aluminum, glass, wood, ceramic, clay and stoneware.

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the diameter of the pan – if the pan is too small the cooking will not initiate. The diameter must be as close as possible as the diameter of the heating zone.

If the pan is not adapted to the induction cooktop the display will show [ U ].

Sensitive touch

Your ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your fi nger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound. For general use, press only one key at at time.

Choosing the Correct Cookware

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to operate properly. All Viking Range, LLC cookware is induction friendly, as are most other high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel cookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable for your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to the bottom surface. To check if pans are compatible:

• Put a small quantity of water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ]. This water must heat in a few seconds.
• A magnet sticks on the bottom of the pan.
• Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.

The cookware should have a fl at, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to 12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

Maintenance and Cleaning

WARNING

A steam cleaner is not to be used for cleaning appliance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your cooktop must be kept clean. Make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Several diff erent fi nishes have been used in your cooktop. NEVER USE AMMONIA, STEEL WOOL PADS OR ANY ABRASIVE CLOTHS AND MATERIALS SUCH AS CLEANSERS, OVEN CLEANERS, OR ABRASIVE POWDERS. THEY CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR COOKTOP.

Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is diff erent from cleaning a standard porcelain fi nish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal, light soil:

1. Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.

For heavy, burned soil:

1. Rub a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel.
2. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a single-edged razor blade. Hold the blade at a 30º angle against the ceramic surface.
3. If any soil remains, repeat the steps above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
4. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent build- up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Note: Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore, make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.

Spillages of sugar, jam, jelly, etc. must be removed immediately. This prevents the surface from being damaged.
