SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Induction surface cooking zones
To operate an induction cooking zone:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking zone.
2. Activate the cooking zone.
• If the cooktop is not on, press the Main Power key.
• Press the On/Off key for the desired cooking zone.
If you just turned the cooktop on, this step can be
skipped.
3. Set the cooking zone to the desired level (refer to the
“Suggested induction cooking zone settings” in
Table 1).
• Place your finger on the control and slide until the
desired setting is indicated.
• Press P to set the zone to Power Boil.
• Press 1 to set the zone to its lowest setting.
4. When cooking is complete, turn the induction cooking
zone OFF by pressing its On/Off key or the Main Power
key before removing the cookware. If all of the zones
are off, the cooktop will automatically power off in 20
seconds.
Suggested induction cooking zone settings
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based
on cooking with medium-weight stainless steel pans with
lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Table 1: Suggested induction cooking zone settings
NOTE:
• The Power Boil (P) setting is available after activating a
cooking zone by pressing the P key. The cooktop will
remain in Power Boil for up to 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to
the High (9) setting.
• The size and type of the utensil used and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
• The Hot Surface indicator (H) will show in the setting
indicator when heat is detected in a cook zone that has
been turned off. The indicator will remain on until the
heated surface area has cooled sufficiently.
Figure 12: Induction cooking zone control
Do not leave empty cookware on an operating cooking
zone. Cookware will heat very quickly and may be
damaged or warped if left on the cooking zone empty.
The cooktop has a sensor to detect cookware in the
cooking zone. The cooking zone will not become active
without proper cookware in position. See
“Pan Sensing”
on page 10.
