WARNING
Surface Unit Cook Settings
The cooktop offers 19 power levels. Power levels
range from "L" (Low) to "H" (High) in precise half-step
increments. For example: L, 1, 1 ½, 2, 2 ½, and up to H.
Power Level “L”, the lowest setting, is recommended for
keeping food warm.
The power level increases one-half level with each touch.
How Induction Surface Cooking Works
Induction coils under the glass cooking surface produce
a magnetic field that generates heat in ferrous metals
that are in close proximity. The glass cooking surface is
not heated directly since it is not a ferrous metal, but the
glass may eventually become hot from the pan. Induction
surface coils are more efficient and will heat much faster
than conventional electric and gas cooking surface
cooking products.
CAUTION:
Ŷ The induction cooking elements may appear to be cool
while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat
transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
Ŷ DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly
with hands. Always use mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
Ŷ DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance
of the ceramic cooktop.
The power level with a fraction
indicates the additional half-
step setting. You may hear
clicking sounds indicating the
control is maintaining your
desired setting.
