Using Your Cooktop
Induction Cooktop
Power sharing Four burner cooktops are divided into two
separate heating zones. The right and left side
cooking zones are powered by separate and
independent induction generators. One generator
controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones within
a heating section share the power of one
generator.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones.
The right and left side have separate cooking
zones and the large center element is another
separate cooking zone.
Power Sharing is activated when both elements
in the same cooking zone are activated and one
element is set for Boost (H). The element that is
not set for Boost will change to a lower power
level. This is called Power Sharing. When Boost
operation is complete (10 minutes), the other
element may be reset to any power level. Both
elements can operate simultaneously at normal
power level settings of “L” to 9.
4 burner cooktops with right and left side (2)
induction generators.
5 burner cooktops with right, left and center (3)
induction generators.
Using the
low setting 1 Place a pan with food onto the induction element.
The pan size should match the indicator ring.
2 Touch the ON/OFF pad. “5” will flash in the display.
3 Touch the (-) pad until the display reads “L.” A
sound will beep.
Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic may
melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.
Use only cookware recommended for this cooktop.
The Low setting will keep hot, cooked food at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. Do not use
to heat cold food.
Placing uncooked or cold food on surface element
set for Low could result in food-borne illness.
For best results, all food set for Low should be
covered with a lid or aluminum foil. Pastries or breads
should be vented to allow moisture to escape.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing
food from the element set for Low as cookware and
plates will be hot.
CAUTION: Do not warm food on the “L”
power level for more than two hours.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR FOUR BURNER
MODELS:
The elements on the right side share one
generator. Both elements can operate at any
non-Boost (level L to 9) power level at the same
time. When the large 11
″
element is set for “H”
or Boost, the smaller element is automatically
shut off and cannot be activated. After 10
minutes, Boost (H) will revert to power level 9.
At that time, the smaller element may be
activated and set for any power level.
