Before Using the Cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit
for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or
no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning creme
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Setting Cooktop Controls
Using the Touch Control
Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad. If the finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the
cooktop may not respond to the selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the narrow end of your fingertip.
Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has four or five Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place
cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (see Fig. 2, page 7) 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.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center
the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum ring marked on the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE:
If the cookware requirements for the Cooking Zone (See Fig. 2, page 8) are not met the sensors will detect a
problem and the display will flash with the power level in the affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display. Any
problems must be corrected before proceeding.
2. Touch and hold the
key pad for 2 seconds (or until a beep sounds). The Power LED located above the
