Important ­ Please Read and Follow
Cooking Safety
· ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before removing pan.
· NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended, especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations.
· NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance.
· Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as pot holders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
· ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle. · DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood, or vent fan. Clean hood frequently
to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off. · NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
on cookware handles. · PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps,
or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The food could be contaminated. · If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of
control. · This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. · Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loosehandled pans. Pans with heavy handles (especially small pans) could be unstable and tip easily. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous. · Be sure cookware is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boil overs. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Pan should accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat. · To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by children. · NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the cookware and the appliance. · This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units. The use of devices or accessories that are not expressly recommended in this manual can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the components of the appliance. · Use proper pan material. Refer to “Before Using Cooktop” section for recommended cookware. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve e ciency.

Description The heating zone is activated. Selection of the cooking level. No pan or inadequate pan. Automatic cooking. Electronic failure. The heating zone is hot. The Power Booster is activated. The Double Power Booster is activated. Maintain automatically of 158 °F. The cooktop is in pause. 2 cooking zones are combined.

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 field 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 finger 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 flat, 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.

Cookware must be centered and fully contact the surface of the cooking element.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Use flat-bottomed pans
Pans should meet or exceed the recommended minimum size for the cooking element used.
Make sure pans sit completely on the cooktop surface and not on the cooktop trim.
Cookware should be properly balanced. Pans with heavy handles will tilt.
For Induction cooktops, cookware needs to be completely magnetic on the bottom. Partial magnetic bottoms will not perform properly.

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 different finishes 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 different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. 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.
