Surface Cooking Tips
The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but
not recommended.
Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller
elements and larger cookware should be used for larger elements.
Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise,
causing the cooktop to turn off.
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The
cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very
quickly, resulting in possible damage to the cookware and
ceramic glass.
CAUTION
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should
not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
CAUTION
After use, switch off the element by its control and do not
rely on the pan detector.
WARNING
Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and may
result in re. NEVER try to extinguish a re with water, but
switch off the appliance and then cover ame e.g. with a lid or
a re blanket.
CAUTION
Induction Cooking Power
The Induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and 4 or 6 cooking zones based on the model. Each generator powers 2
cooking zones. If using more than one cooking zone on high power on the same generator, the maximum cooking power
may be reduced. For best performance results, start cooking on only one zone per shared generator. Once it has reached
cooking termperature, start cooking on the second cooking zone.
