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

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.
11
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.

Using Your Cooktop
Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. Cooling fans will start up to regulate
the temperature of the electronics. Once temperatures reach a certain level,
the cooling fan will switch on at the initial speed. If temperatures increase
(during extensive use), the cooling fan will increase its speed for more
airflow. Once the unit’s electronics have cooled to an acceptable level, the
fan will shut off automatically.
Residual heat indication After switching off of a heating zone or the complete
stop of the cooktop, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [ H ] on
the display. The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched
without danger. As long as the residual heat indicators are lit, don’t touch
the heating zones and don’t put any heat sensitive object on them. There are
risks of burn and fire hazard.

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.
