Using Your Cooktop
Induction Cooktop

Power level
settings The cooktop offers 19 power levels, including a
Boost setting. Power levels range from “L” to 9
in precise half-step increments. For example: 1,
1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2 and up to power level 9.
Power Level “L”, the lowest setting, is
recommended for “Keep Warm.”
The power level increases one-half level with
each touch.
Power level 9 is the highest normal power setting.
1/2
The power level with a fraction indicates the
additional half-step setting.
Flashing “F”
in display If a pan is removed or moved off-center from the
cooking ring during the cooking process, the
control will flash “F” along with the power setting.
The flashing “F” indicates that the pan is no
longer detected. After 30 seconds, the element
will be deactivated and the display will turn off.
If the pan is returned to the surface element
within 30 seconds, the flashing “F” will disappear
and cooking will resume.
Boost
setting Boost is the highest power level, designed for large
quantity rapid cooking and boiling. Boost will
operate for a maximum of 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, it will automatically revert to power level 9.
Boost may be repeated after the initial 10 minute
cycle.
CAUTION: Do not leave a pot unattended while
in the Boost Mode.
To start the Boost power setting:
1 Place a pan matching the size of the induction
element over the selected indicator ring.
2 Touch the ON/OFF pad. “5” will flash
in the display.
3 Touch and hold the (+) pad until the display
reads “H.”
NOTE: If the pan is removed, the display will flash “F”
alternating to “H”. After 30 seconds, the elements will
turn off automatically.
Sounds you may hear:
You may hear a slight “buzz” sound when
cooking with the Boost or high mode. This is
normal. The sound depends on the type of pot
being used. Some pots will “buzz” louder
depending on the material. A “buzz” sound may
be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan
heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level
is reduced, the sound level will go down.
