Getting Started

Use the correct cookware type

Induction cooktop characteristics

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while

turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.

The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat

transferred from the cookware and burns may

occur.

DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop

surface. Doing so may permanently damage the

appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS

directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot

holders to protect hands from burns.

The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below

the cooktop surface require the use of cookware

made with magnetic material in order to start the

heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically

identified by the manufacturer for use with induction

cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test

whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet

sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type

is correct for induction cooking (See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality

stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop

surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of

developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop

surface, especially if cookware is slide over the

ceramic cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over

time sliding

ANy type of cookware over the ceramic

cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the

cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make

cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall

appearance of the cooktop.

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). Be sure to follow all the

recommendations for using cookware.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply

the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the

ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or

pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from

cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a

protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches

and abrasions.

Also remember to:

• Use cookware made with the correct material type

for Induction Cooking.

• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for

better heat distribution allowing for more even

cooking results.

• The pan size should match the amount of food

being prepared.

• Do not let pans boil dry. This may

cause permanent damage in the form of

breakage, fusion, or marring that can

affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of

damage is not covered by your warranty).

• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always

use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

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 Cooking Zones may appear to

be cool while turned ON and after they have been

turned OFF. The glass surface may be

HOT from

residual heat transferred from the cookware and

burns may occur.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor

automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic

and eliminates accidental “turn-ONs.”
PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan recognition sensor

automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones

to the pan sizes in use.
EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while

using less energy. Induction power levels are quick

to boil and delicate when simmering.
