Control Panel
The control panel of your induction cooktop is illuminated
for instant visual indication that one or more elements
are in use. The control panel features touch controls with
graduated control lighting. A power bar indicator in each
control will display the heat setting level for the element.
Refer to the illustration below.
CAUTION
Do not place hot cookware directly over the control
panel.
Induction Cooking
Induction cooking has been used in Europe for decades
by professionals and homeowners demanding the best in
performance.
In induction cooking, the electricity ows through a coil to
produce a magnetic eld under the ceramic cooktop.
When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pan is placed
on the glass-ceramic surface, currents are induced in the
cooking utensil and instant heat is generated due to the
resistance of the pan. Induction only works with cooking
vessels made of magnetic materials, such as cast iron and
magnetic stainless steel (it will not work with aluminum or
copper pots). To test the cookware, a magnet must stick
to the bottom of the vessel in order to function.
BENEFITS OF INDUCTION COOKING
Speed. Heating is immediate. Adjustment is immediate. No
slow change from heating up to cooling down. Heats up to
50% faster than gas or electric cooktops.
Controllability. Homogeneous cooking to distribute the
heat perfectly (no hot or burned spots). You can keep
sauces and chocolates melted at 50 watts of power, or
with the touch of a nger, activate Hi-Power mode and boil
water in half the time you normally do.
Energy efciency. Energy is supplied directly to the
cooking vessel so 85% to 90% of the electric energy gets
used to cook. This means a cooler kitchen and cooktop.
Easy to clean. The surface remains relatively cool, so
overows and spills do not stick or burn onto the element.
The surface will be warm after removing a saucepan with
hot contents. Wait until the surface cools to clean with
soapy water.
