Operating the Cooktop

Operating the Cooktop Controls

•  Turn on the induction cooktop only after placing the 

cookware on the element.

•  Do not leave metallic utensils or lids on the cooking 

surface since they can become hot or may warp.

•  Even though the cooktop itself does not heat, it still 

becomes hot due to the pots and pans placed on top 

of it becoming hot.

•  For safe operation, know which control adjusts each 

element (see page 6).

•  Make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
•  Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center 

it.

•  Locate the ON/OFF key for the selected cooking 

zone. Touch and hold your finger on the ON/OFF 

key for one second. When the power light turns on, 

remove your finger.

•  Select the desired power level by touching the UP (

►) 

or DOWN (

◄) key repeatedly. The more power level 

lights illuminated, the higher the power.
NOTE:
◊  If a power level is not selected within 10 seconds, 

the control will turn off.

◊  You can change the power level setting at any 

time during the cooking process.

◊  When selecting a power level, you can also hold 

your finger on the UP (

►) or DOWN (◄) key until 

the desired power level is displayed, then remove 

your finger.

•  Turn off power to the cooking zone by touching the 

ON/OFF key or simply remove the pan from the 

cooktop. 30 seconds after removing a pan the control 

for that cooking zone shuts off automatically. NOTE: 

If a pan is placed on the same cooking zone before 30 

seconds has elapsed the cooking zone will remain on 

at the same setting.

Power Boost

Your induction cooktop is equipped with a power boost 

feature. Use power boost to bring large quantities of 

water or food to cooking temperature faster. Power boost 

increases the induction element power up to 39%, for 10 

minutes. NOTE: Power boost can only be used on one 

side (left or right) of the cooktop at a time (see cooktop 

layouts on page 6).

1.  Make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
2.  Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center 

it.

3.  Locate the ON/OFF key for the selected cooking 

zone. Touch and hold your finger on the ON/OFF 

key for one second. When the power light turns on, 

remove your finger.

4.  Select power level 8 by touching the DOWN (

◄) key 

momentarily or by touching the UP (

►) key repeat-

edly.

5.  With 8 power lights shown on the control panel, touch 

the UP (

►) key once. The power boost light will come 

on. It will turn off after about 10 minutes when power 

boost automatically turns off.

Cooking Tips

•  Practice and experience will ultimately determine the 

power levels that work best for you. Don’t be afraid to 

experiment and arrive at your own preferred cooking 

settings. You may want to take notes when you find 

a setting that works good for a particular food item.  

There are blank pages in the back of this manual for 

cooking notes.

•  There will be some variation in the efficiency of the 

pots being used. All brands do not behave in exactly 

the same way since the different metals used conduct 

the electromagnetic waves from the induction ele-

ments differently.

Auto Shut-off Feature

•  If the cooktop is on for too long, it will shut-off auto-

matically in the interest of safety. If one of the ele-

ments is on for an unusually long period of time, and 

the control settings are not changed, the cooktop will 

shut off automatically and the residual heat indica-

tor will light. The amount of time before the cooktop 

shuts down varies with the power setting and the type 

of cookware in place on the element.

•  The cooktop may be restarted again after shut-off 

takes place according to the Operating the Controls 

section.
