OPTIONS (Oven use functions)

Enables you to personalize the audible tones and oven operation to suit your needs. See the “Oven Use” section.

Cooktop Use

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking.

Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

  • Enameled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-Ferromagnetic Materials Include:

These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

  • Stainless steel
  • Glass
  • Ceramic
  • Copper or aluminum pans

To find out whether your pans can be used with an induction cooktop, flip the pan over, hold a magnet to the bottom of the pan, and then see whether it sticks. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan, the pan is ferromagnetic and can be used for induction cooking. In addition, many manufacturers are now placing an “induction compatible” symbol on the bottom of their cookware or they will note compatibility on their packaging. See the following symbol.

Home Canning

Canning can be performed on the induction cooktop. See the “Cookware” section to check if the canner will work on the induction cooktop. When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface cooking areas or elements between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool.

  • Center the canner on the largest surface cooking area or element. On electric cooktops, canners should not extend more than 1 /2" (1.3 cm) beyond the surface cooking area or element.
  • Do not place canner on 2 surface cooking areas or elements at the same time.
  • On ceramic glass models, use only flat-bottomed canners to avoid damage to the cooktop and elements.
  • For more information, contact your local agricultural extension office or refer to published home canning guides. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance.

Oven Use

Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times or when it is heavily soiled.

  • If it reappears, call for service.

Cooktop display shows messages

  • Improper pan being used (“replace pan” animation showing in the display when you place a saucepan on an induction surface cooking area) Check that the saucepan is ferromagnetic. Check that the diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Center the saucepan on the surface cooking area. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the event that it has become hot when used. Switch the surface cooking area off, then on again. If the display still does not light up, turn power off at the circuit breaker. Wait 20 seconds and turn power back on.
  • Long cooking time (Performance Boost function display flashing and switching off): The Performance Boost function operates the surface cooking area with the most power. During long cooking times, it is possible that the function will switch the surface cooking area off to keep the cooktop from overheating.

Noise

  • Low humming: This occurs when cooking at high power. The cause of this is the amount of energy that is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware
  • Crackling: Cookware is used that consists of different materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different layers
  • Fan noise: The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably
