WARNING
• 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).

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).
To use power boost:
1. Make sure the cooktop surface is clean and dry.
2. Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center
2. Place the pan on the desired cooking zone and center

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.
