SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop
Always lift cookware before moving on the ceramic glass
cooktop. Cookware that has a rough or dirty bottom can
mark and scratch the ceramic glass surface. Always start
with clean cookware.

Power Management
Your induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and 4 or 5
cooking zones, depending on the model. A generator may
power 1 or 2 cooking zones. If you use more than one
cooking zone on high power at the same time and they are
on the same generator, the cooktop may need to manage
power to the two cooking zones.
Figure 14: Power management (30” cooktop)
Figure 15: Power management (36” cooktop)
To get the best performance from your cooktop, start
cooking on only one cooking zone. After the first piece of
cookware has reached cooking temperature, then start
cooking on the second cooking zone.
• Although induction cooking zones do not directly
generate heat, they can become hot from contact
with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking
zone or the surrounding area is touched before it has
cooled to a safe temperature.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic
wrapping on the cooktop when it is in use. Heat
radiating from cookware could cause these items to
melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons
could catch fire if placed too close to hot cookware.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the
cooktop. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire. If these items
melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop.
