- NEVER use water on grease fires — smother fire or flame or use dry chemicals or a foam-type extinguisher.
WARNING
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Do not store any
items on the cooking surface, as this increases fire danger.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry potholders or oven mitts to hold the handles of pots and pans. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
- Use only dry potholders – moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
- Use only proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Use pots and pans with flat bottoms large enough to cover the entire surface unit.
- Using undersized pans may expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in burns or ignition of clothing.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
- To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with pots and pans, handles should be positioned so they are turned inward and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
- Do not cook on a broken cooktop, as cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.
- Clean your cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
- Do not use a steam cleaner or high-pressure cleaners to clean your cooktop.
- Do not use scourers or harsh abrasive cleaning agents, as these can scratch the ceramic glass.
- Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, or lids on the cooktop surface since they can get hot and increase the risk of burns.
- DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in colour. 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.

POWER SHARING
- Induction cooktops are divided into two separate cooking areas; the right and left side cooking elements share power.
- Power sharing is activated when the cooking element in the same area is activated; the controls adjust power automatically. Power sharing is administered by the unit’s microprocessors, which will alternate power in one area.
- Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage, which is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max watts is the first number in the diagrams on “Operation” on page 10 and “Boost” watts is the second number.
- Power levels 3 through 9 use the max watts on the burner being used. When using three burners at once above power level 3 — and then adding a fourth on Boost — this will combine the total being used above the rated wattage.
- Power sharing then activates, ensuring total watt usage stays at 7200W/9300W; to do so, the appliance will drop the Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display panel.
- Power sharing tips: Select the power setting last for the cooking element you want to maintain at the highest heat setting. When cooking two items at the same time, place one element in one section (the left side, for example) and the other item in another section (right side).
- The diagrams on page 10 demonstrate how each cooktop is split into two cooking areas and how power-sharing works between the elements.

ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in
the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass
becomes hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
USING THE TOUCH CONTROLS
- The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
- Use the ball of your finger, not the tip.
- You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
- Make sure the controls are always clean, and dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or the bottom of the pan.
- You can check if cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet toward the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
- If you do not have a magnet:
- Put some water in the pan you want to check.
- Follow the steps under “To start cooking”.
- If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
Size of burner (diameter) | Minimum cookware size (diameter) |
---|---|
6 5/16″ (160 mm) | 4 3/4″ (121 mm) |
7 1/16″ (179 mm) | 5 1/2″ (140 mm) |
8 1/4″ (210 mm) | 6 5/16″ (160 mm) |
11″ (279 mm) | 7 1/16″ (179 mm) |
- Flat-bottomed pots or pans made from cast iron, enamelled iron, nickel, or magnetic stainless steel work best on induction cooktops.
- The following cookware is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
- Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
- Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
- Always lift pans off the ceramic cooktop — do not slide or they may scratch the glass.

timer.
Touching the timer control, and the indicator will flash. Touch the “—” “+” at
the same time to set the timer to “00”; the timer is cancelled.
COOKWARE NOISES
- Heavier pans such as enamelled cast iron will produce less noise than a lighter stainless steel pan. Lightweight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy-weight quality cookware is recommended.
- Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic glass surface, though again, typically only at high power settings.
- Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when rivets are used, can vibrate.
- “Cracking” noise occurs if the cookware base is made of a different material.
- “Low humming” noise occurs when normal cooking, particularly at high power settings.
- A “whistling” noise occurs if two elements are being used at the same time at high settings, and the cookware base is made of a different material.
- Take care when frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using Boost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
COOKING TIPS
- When food comes to a boil, reduce the power setting.
- Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining heat.
- Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
- Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
SEARING STEAK
To cook juicy, flavorful steaks:
- Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
- Heat a heavy-based frying pan, such as a seasoned cast iron pan.
- Brush both sides of the steak with oil and season generously. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
- Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it.
- Times may vary from about 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is — the firmer it feels the more “well done” it will be.
- Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before serving.
FOR STIR-FRYING
- Choose a ceramic-compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
- Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
- If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
- Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
- Cook any meats first and set aside.
- Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
- Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
- Serve immediately.

CARE AND CLEANING
WHAT? | HOW? | IMPORTANT! |
---|
Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non- sugary spillovers
on the glass)
| 1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a kitchen-safe cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.
| When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no “hot surface” indication, but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care. Heavy-duty
scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable. Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.
Boil-overs, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass| Remove these immediately with a palette knife or razor blade scrape suitable for ceramic glass tops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces.
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade at a 30°–45° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dishcloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2–4 for “Everyday soiling on glass” above.
| Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as
possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or
even permanently damage the glass surface. Cut hazard: when the safety cover
is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and
always store safely and out of reach of children.
Spillovers on the
touch controls
| 1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill.
3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the
cooktop back on.
| The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while the liquid is on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.

Further, ZLINE is not responsible for damage resulting from, but not limited to: shipment, delivery, or improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product; unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods, pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained acts of nature, commonly referred to as “acts of God”; flare-up fires or damages caused by improper electric supply, electrical line current, voltage, or power surges; and service to correct installation not by the instructions contained in ZLINE’s product manuals and/or local government codes.
This warranty does not apply to aesthetic damage, scratches, or natural wear caused by normal use; second-hand, open-box products, or products purchased from an unauthorized retailer; and damages or issues stemming from alteration or tampering with the cooktop, including, but not limited to, painting any portion of the product’s interior or exterior and altering or otherwise manipulating the power cord.
