How Induction Surface Cooking Works
The magnetic fields induce a small current in the pan.
The pan acts as a resistor, which produces heat, much
like a radiant coil.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is
produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated
until a pan is placed on the cooking surface.
When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat
immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan.
Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware
made of ferrous metals—metals to which magnets will
stick, such as iron or steel.

enough for the element to detect the pan and be able to
deliver full power.
The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel or iron
utensil, such as a steel spatula, cooking spoon, knife
or other small utensil, is placed on the cooking surface
when the unit is turned on.
CAUTION
■ Theinductioncookingelements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TOUCHHOTCOOKWAREorPANSdirectly
with hands. Always use mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
■ DONOTSLIDEcookwareacrossthecooktopsurface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of
the ceramic cooktop.
Operating the Cooktop Elements
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the
range unattended with the cooktop on medium or
high settings. Keep flammable items away from the
cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire,
serious injury or death.
Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with
ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and
makes cleanup easier.
Turn element(s) On: Place your induction designed
cookware on the cooking surface. Touch and hold On/
Off pad about half a second. A chime can be heard with
each touch to any pad.
Power level can be selected in any of the following ways:
1. Swipe the gray arc (on the graphics) to the desired
power level. There is no sensor on the LEDs, or;
2. Touch Anywhere along the gray arc, or;
3. Touch + or - pads to adjust power level, or;
4. Shortcut to Hi: Immediately after turning unit on, touch
the + pad, or;
5. Shortcut to Low: Immediately after turning unit on,
touch the - pad.

pan material is correct if a magnet sticks to the
bottom.
