BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP Induction Cooktop Characteristics 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 cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2).
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP Cookware Recommendations Use the Correct Cookware Size Be sure to follow the following recommendations for using cookware as shown: The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location. The inner “X” of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner “X” for proper cooking to occur.
SETTING COOKTOP CONTROLS Using the Touch Control Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad. If the finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop may not respond to the selection made. Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use the narrow end of your fingertip. Cooktop Power Pad The Cooktop POWER key pad activates the entire Cooktop. To power the cooktop, touch and hold the POWER key pad for 2 seconds.
SETTING COOKTOP CONTROLS Setting Cooktop Controls Operating the Cooking Zones The Induction cooktop has four or five Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements (see pages 7 & 8) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for the amount of food being prepared. Place the cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any of the Cooktop controls. To Quickly Operate a Cooking Zone 1.
SETTING COOKTOP CONTROLS Preheat Recommendations When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay attention to any items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete. Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil. Keep Warm Feature The Warm feature may be used with any of the Cooking Zones. To Turn the Keep Warm Feature ON: 1. Select the zone you want to set to warm.
SETTING COOKTOP CONTROLS Power Sharing (continued) To get the highest power output from your cooking zones, cook with only one cookware per heating section. If you need to use most of your cooking zones at once, start your cooking process on only one cooking zone within the heating section and then add your second cookware on the second cooking zone when the first one has already reached its cooking temperature.
