BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP Induction Cooktop Features Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware A COOLER COOKTOP- A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.

The available Display Settings The control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1).

SETTING INDUCTION SURFACE CONTROLS Power Management Preheat Recommendations In order to give you more flexibility, your induction cooktop is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned to power a specific cooking zone. One or two cooking zones are assigned to each generator. If you use more than one cooking zone at high power on the same generator, the generator may need to manage its power to both cooking zones.
