Before Setting Surface Controls Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking Induction Cookware Fast and efficient - The induction cooking zones heat faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and efficient when simmering. Important note: Before using the induction cooking zones, be sure to carefully read and follow these cookware recommendations and the instructions in the pan sensing section.
Before Setting Surface Controls When Using the Cooking Zones Important note: • Be sure to use cooktop cookware made with a magnetic base material. • Use quality cooktop cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. Some accessories are made to straddle cooking zones. Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking zones heating at the same time. This will cause uneven heating results and could cause the ceramic cooktop to fracture.
Induction Cooking Zones Pan Sensing Correct The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions are met before the induction cooking zones can operate. Incorrect Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics. Cookware base material is nonmagnetic. Cookware centered correctly on cooking zone. Cookware not centered on cooking zone. Flat pan bottom and straight sides. Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.
Induction Cooking Zones Cooktop Display Windows The range backguard provides a digital window for each of the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels and messages are easily monitored and controlled using the window displays in combination with the corresponding control knobs. Available Power Level Settings The cooktop control (Figure 8) will display power levels ranging from Pb (Figure 9), Hi (Figure 13) to Lo (Figure 10). The settings between 9.5 (Figure 14) and 1.
Setting Surface Controls Operating Induction Cooking Zones Do not place flammable items (plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, plastic wrappings, etc.) on the cooktop when in use. These items could melt or ignite if placed too close to hot cookware. Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking. The suggested settings may vary slightly depending on the cookware design, quality, and amount of food being prepared (See Table 1).
Setting Surface Controls Cooktop Operational Noises Warm Zone Temperature Selection The electronic processes involved in induction cooking may create some background noises. You may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction cooking process and are considered normal. If a particular food is not listed, start with the medium heat level and adjust as needed (See Table 2). Most foods can be kept at serving temperatures by using the medium heat level.
Before Setting Oven Controls Oven Vent Location The oven vent is located under the left side of the control panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent.

Oven Controls Setting Cook Time Setting Delay Start Use Cook Time to set the amount of time needed for baking. The oven will turn on immediately and stop automatically after the set cook time ends. Delay Start sets a delayed starting time to oven cooking or cleaning functions. Prior to setting a delay start, be sure the time of day is set correctly.
Oven Controls Convection Bake Benefits of convection cooking include: • Foods can cook up to 25 to 30% faster. • Multiple rack baking. • When using convection, use cookware or pans with low sides. This allows the air to circulate around the food evenly. Convection functions use a fan to circulate the oven's heat uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning results.
Oven Controls Setting Convection Roast To add Convection Convert to Convection Bake function using default oven set temperature of 350°F: The Convection Roast function combines a cook cycle with the convection fan to roast meats and poultry. Meats cooked using the Convection Roast function will be juicier, and poultry will be crisp on the outside while staying tender and moist on the inside. 1. 2. Press Convec Convert.
Oven Controls Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, oven racks, and cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
