Cleaning and Care

Cleaning the Cooktop
The cooking surface and control areas of your ceramic glass cooktop are identified by permanent patterns in the cooktop. The appliance is easy to maintain and clean. Keep the cooktop in top performance by following these simple guidelines for use and cleaning.

NOTE
To prevent accidental activation of the touch controls, it is recommended that you enable the LOCK MODE feature before cleaning.

• Clean the cooktop before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner (Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner). A sample is included with your Kenyon cooktop.
• Always remove food spills, grease spatters and metal rub-off from cookware. A razor blade scraper or the equivalent works well to remove spillovers.
• When the cooktop is cool, clean it with a paper towel or a clean, soft cloth and Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner. After cleaning, always wipe the cooktop with a clean, damp cloth to avoid cooked-on cleaner residue, then wipe the cooktop dry.
• Do not use a dish towel or sponge to wipe off the cooktop. A film may be left by the detergent and may cause discolouration of the cooktop surface.
• Avoid abrasive scouring cleaners of any kind. Also avoid using plastic, nylon or metal cleaning pads. They may scratch or melt onto the cooktop.
• Avoid chemical cleaners such as chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid or chemical oven cleaners. They can etch or discolour the surface.
• Do not let anything that melts – plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, etc. come into contact with the cooktop surface when it is hot. Should something melt onto the surface, immediately move it to a cool area of the cooktop with a razor blade scraper and then remove it from the cooktop as soon as possible. If they are allowed to harden the cooktop may become pitted.

Use Good Quality Cookware

• Since cookware plays an important role in cooking efficiency and convenience, keep in mind the following information when selecting your cookware.

• Avoid pans with shaped and rounded bottoms as this inhibits the pan or pot in cooking evenly. The best quality pans and pots to use are the multi-ply stainless steel type. Kenyon sells such pots and pans called StacKEN™. They come with a lifetime guarantee and are made in the USA. These pans and pots work exceptionally well on induction cooktops as well as radiant glass top stoves.

• Use cookware of the correct diameter only. The base of the pot or pan should be about the same size as the cooking zone on which it is used – not much wider and not much smaller. By using utensils with the correct diameter, you should achieve maximum
  heating efficiency with the shortest possible cooking time.

• Be certain that both the cooktop glass
  panel and the bottom of your pots and pans are clean and dry before use. By doing so, you will help prevent scratches and stains on your cooktop glass panel.

Operation

READ SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE

How Induction Cooking Works
Induction is the most energy-efficient method of cooking. The electromagnetic field under the ceramic glass top excites the atoms in the ferrous metal cookware directly above, immediately producing heat saving time and energy.
The Bridge induction cooktop will heat up 25% to 50% faster and distribute heat more evenly than radiant cooktops, and offers immediate temperature adjustment.
Cookware Noise
Some noise may occur from cookware when using the cooktop. It may vary according to cookware construction and power level.
In addition, the noise may vary according to the use of adjacent cooking zone. Possible noises include a low humming sound or whistle. A cookware piece that completely covers the cooking zone will produce less noise.
These noises may be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level setting on one or both cooking zones or by using different cookware. Using StacKEN™ cookware is the quietest cookware for the Bridge induction cooktop.

Indicator Lights
There are a series of lights that provide indications of cooking zone operation and hot surfaces.
These lights are located adjacent to the control panels. When the control is ON, a LED light will illuminate indicating which cooking zone is on.
For your safety, we have incorporated a “HOT” indicator light. When lit, this light indicates that some part of the ceramic glass on the cooktop is too warm to touch or place articles upon.

Do not place articles other than cookware on the cooking surface while this light is glowing.
After turning off the cooking zone, the “HOT” indicator light will remain illuminated until the cooking zone is safe to touch.
Available Power
The cooktop has a limited total power available. To ensure that the induction cooktop power usage does not exceed the maximum combined wattage limit for safe operation, the power of the previously set cooking zone will automatically decrease when another cooking zone is activated and set to use an amount of power that may amount to the maximum load.

Turning On
Touch the controls firmly with the flat part of your fingertips. With the unit unlocked, touch the Main Power button. If a cooking zone is not activated within 10 seconds, the cooktop will de-power by itself.
Operating the Cooking Zone(s)
Position a cookware piece and touch and hold the Cooking Zone Power button for 1 second in the cooking zone control area for the selected cooking zone. Slide your finger on the Heating Level Control Sweep to the right to increase the cooking level or slide your finger to the left to decrease it. The power level indicator visually indicates the power selected along with the numeric value in the power level display.

Turning Off
A single cooking zone can be turned off directly by touching the Cooking Zone Power in the Cooking Zone Control Area for the cooking zone that is working. You can turn off all cooking zones immediately at any time using the Main Power button.
Automatic Zone Power-Off
If a cooking zone is active but it does not detect a pan for more than 10 seconds, it will shut off.
Power Levels
The power level of the cooking zone can be set from Lo and level 1 to level 9. An additional level (Boost mode) is available for very rapid heating of food.

Bridge Mode
This mode facilitates cooking with elongated cookware, and allows the two cooking zones to work together as one. When the Bridge mode is active, the following symbols will be displayed in the Cooking Zone Control Area:

TWO BURNER MODEL INSTRUCTIONS:

Activate Bridge Mode

1. Turn the Main Power ON.
2. Simultaneously touch and hold anywhere on both Heating Level Control Sweeps until you see the bridge symbol displayed.
3. Touch the power button on the left cooking zone.
4. Adjust the setting to the desired level using the left Heating Level Control Sweep.

Deactivate Bridge Mode by simultaneously touching and holding anywhere on both Heating Level Control Sweeps.
Boost Mode is not available when the cooking zones are actively bridged.

FOUR BURNER MODEL INSTRUCTIONS
The two right side (zone 3 & 4) cooking zones feature Bridge Mode.
Activate Bridge Mode

1. Turn the Main Power ON.
2. Simultaneously touch and hold anywhere on the two right side Heating Level Control Sweeps (zone 3 & 4) until you see the bridge symbol displayed.
3. Touch the power button for zone 3.
4. Adjust setting to desired level using the zone 3 Heating Level Control Sweep.

Deactivate Bridge Mode by simultaneously touching and holding anywhere on the two right side Heating Level Control Sweeps (zone 3 & 4).
Boost Mode is not available when the cooking zones are actively bridged.

Boost Mode
Boost Mode makes additional power available to each cooking zone (for example, you want to bring a large volume of water to a boil). The power of a cooking zone can be increased or “boosted” for up to 10 minutes.
When Boost is active, the display of the boosted cooking zone will show:

• Activate Boost by sliding your finger right to the end of the Heating Level Control Sweep of the cooking zone.
• Deactivate Boost by sliding left on the Heating Level Control Sweep to lower the temperature setting of the cooking zone.

Simmer Mode
This function allows for gentle cooking even for the most delicate of sauces and chocolate.
Activate Simmer by pressing and holding the “LO” setting on the Heating Level
Control Sweep of the cooking zone. This will first activate “low” mode, and continue holding the “LO” button as this will activate the “simmer” mode indicated by the SIM light.

• When simmer or low mode are active, the following symbols will be displayed in the Cooking Zone Control Area:

• Deactivate Simmer by switching to a higher level, lift and touch the Heating Level Control Sweep to the right until the desired level is displayed.

These temperatures are approximate and are greatly dependent on the cookware and the quantity of food.
NOTE: Simmer mode does not apply to 120V models. The simmer mode operates for a max-imum of 2 hours.

Cookware Detection
The cooktop will only apply power to a cooking zone where cookware is detected.
If no cookware is identified a “missing pot” error will be displayed on the Cooking Zone Control Area. Below is the error that will be displayed:

Installation

IMPORTANT! Save this document for future reference. This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

Unpacking the Cooktop

• Carefully unpack the cooktop from its shipping container. If possible, retain the original shipping carton and protective packaging in the event the unit ever has to be returned for service.
• Verify and identify the package contents. The following items should be included in the carton. If any components are missing or damaged, call KENYON immediately.

PARTS INCLUDED

IMPORTANT! Do not remove the clear plastic covering film on the ceramic glass until cooktop is ready to be used.

Check the Electrical Supply Requirements

This product must be installed in accordance with national, state and local electric codes. The table on page 6 provides the correct voltage, amperage and frequency that must be supplied to the cooktop. The supply must be from an individually grounded circuit that is protected by a circuit breaker and rated per the specifications for the various models as shown in the table on.

Countertop Preparation

Please read this section prior to making cutout for cooktop.

• It is important to plan ahead for installation of the cooktop, keeping the following dimensions in mind.

• A – 13 inches maximum depth of overhead cabinets

• B – 36 inches is minimum height of countertop above floor

• C – The minimum flat countertop surface that the cooktop will rest upon must be equal to or greater than the overall cooktop dimensions (refer to page 8 for overall cooktop dimensions).

• D – 30 inches minimum clearance between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet or 24 inch minimum clearance when the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by not less than 1/4-inch-thick
  flame retardant millboard covered with not less than No. 28 MSG sheet steel, 0.015-inch-think stainless steel, 0.024-inch-thick aluminum or 0.020-inch- thick-copper.

• E – 1-inch minimum from backsplash of countertop to edge of glass (refer to the page 6 for overall cooktop dimensions).

FOR INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA
“Do Not Install Closer Than 1/2 Inch (12mm) From Any Adjacent Surface”, and NE PAS INSTALLER A’MDINS DE 12MM DETOUTE SURFACE ADJACENTE.

WARNING! To eliminate the risk of burns by  reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Before making the countertop cutout, check for clearance. Check to see if the cooktop will clear the front and side walls of the base cabinet. It is also important to provide enough ventilation.
Adequate ventilation of the space below the countertop must be provided to ensure proper operation of the cooktop. Heat transferred from the cooktop bottom pan during operation will overheat an improperly ventilated area.

Countertop Preparation Continued…

Allow a 2” minimum clearance between the bottom of the metal pan of the cooktop and any combustible surface located below, ie: the upper edge of a drawer installed below the cooktop (see figure below). Failure to provide proper clearances and ventilation may result in a fire hazard.

Since the appliance requires a sufficient supply of fresh air to operate at maximum performance, the cabinet must be designed accordingly. The following is required for this:

• The cabinet must have a minimum of two openings; one to allow fresh air to enter and the other for hot air to escape the cabinet.
• Opening sizes must be equal to 8 square inches each. This is for ambient temperatures of 85ºF / 30ºC and below. If the ambient temperature around the appliance is above 85ºF / 30ºC then larger ventilation opening sizes may be required.

Installing the Cooktop

• The cooktop is supplied with two metal mounting brackets. These brackets are designed to hold the cooktop firmly in place.
• The cooktop does not have a metal frame and should be sealed to the countertop. Use a soft bedding compound that will prevent damage if later removal for service is necessary. We recommend a nonadhesive type of sealant, such as plumber’s putty, maximum compressed thickness of 1/16”.

Attach the two mounting brackets as shown (see figure below) to the inside vertical surface of the cutout. The brackets are to be mounted on opposing sides. If your counter material is granite you will need to glue two wood strips underneath the counter to accept the mounting brackets. Center the bracket in the opening, flush with the countertop and secure with #6 self- tapping screws that are provided. Position the cooktop in the cutout opening and press firmly on all sides to seal the glass into the bedding compound. Secure the cooktop to the brackets from underneath with the small sheet metal screws that are supplied.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERTIGHTEN THE SCREWS

Electrical Connection

• Before proceeding further, verify that the power supply is disconnected. Verify that the appropriate electrical supply requirements have been met. Please refer to the table on page 6 for appropriate electrical requirements. The cooktop is supplied with a 36-inch long conduit for a connection to an accessible junction box. The conduit consists of three insulated wires. There are two insulated hot lead conductors (red and black) and one insulated ground conductor (green).
• Attach conductor wires to residence wiring in accordance with national, state and local electric codes.

WARNING! The entire appliance must be grounded at all times when the electrical power supply is on. Do not ground the appliance with the neutral house supply wire (white). A separate ground must be used.

Final Preparations Prior to Use

Remove the plastic film from the cooktop. Clean the cooktop before you use it for the first time. A thorough cleaning with a recommended cooktop cleaner (Cerama Bryte Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner) will provide a clean, shiny coating on the cooktop surface.
