Setting Cooktop Controls
Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has four or fi ve Cooking Zones
designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place
cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size
requirements (see pages 7 & 8) for the Cooking Zone desired
and is best for the amount of food being prepared. Place
the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone
BEFORE setting any of the Cooktop controls.
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the or key
pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at any time during
the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels touch
and hold the or key pads until the power level desired
is reached). Once the Cooking Zone power level has been set
the food will begin to heat at that level until the power level
is manually changed or power sharing is activated.
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the key pad to
turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2. The corresponding Cooking Zone ON/OFF LED located
above the key pad will turn OFF. A beep will sound
and the chosen Cooking Zone power level display will turn
off. If no other key pads are touched the Cooking Zone
will shut OFF.
3. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking
Zone display may show H if the Cooking Zone temperature
is HOT. The display will continue to show H, even if the
Cooktop is switched OFF the display will continue to
indicate H as long as the cooking zone remains HOT.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool
while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But
the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.
Important operating notes:
• Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the
cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code
and turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the
objects from the cooktop. The zone that was affected has
to be touched twice on the ON/OFF key. Once to clear the
stuck key and once to turn the zone back on.
• Be sure the cooktop vent holes are NOT blocked. If the vent
holes are blocked the cooktop internal sensor may shut OFF
the cooktop to avoid overheating the appliance.
• If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any
active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The affected
Cooking Zone display will fl ash the power level set for the
Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power
level setting for up to 3 minutes before the Cooking Zone
will automatically shut OFF.
