Induction Cooktop Cooking

HOW TO SET THE APPLIANCE FOR COOKTOP COOKING

Induction cooktop control knob

1. Push the knob in.

2. Turn in either direction to the setting you want.

3. The digital displays will show " - ", "" or "".

• Move the Knob dial until the desired power level setting appears in the digital display.
• (Lo), (Simmer), to (Hi), (Boost) : The selected power level setting.

Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has elapsed, see the Troubleshooting section (page 84).

Induction power boost control

1. To use the Power boost setting, turn the control knob directly to "Hi/Boost" setting.

2. The digital displays will show "".

• The power boost function "Boost" makes additional power available to the induction cooking zone.
• Example: To bring a large volume of water to a boil. The power boost function is activated for a maximum of 10 minutes for each cooking zone. After Power Boost is finished, the cooking zones automatically return to power level "".

• If you turn the control knob to "Hi/Boost" via another power level, Induction cooking zone will be operated power level "". (Can not setting the Boost "", when you rotate the knob to left direction.)
• In certain circumstances, the Power boost function may be deactivated automatically to protect the internal electronic components of the induction element.

Induction simmer control

2. The digital displays will show "".

• The simmer controls "Simmer" are used to simmer and keep large quantities of foods warm such as stews and soup.
• The simmer settings of the small cooking zone are ideal for delicate foods and melting chocolate.

Virtual Flame Technology

Virtual flame technology creates the appearance of flames when you turn on an induction element.

• If the Virtual Flame option is set to On, virtual flames appear when you turn an induction control knob to an On position.
• As you turn the knob to adjust the power level, the color of the flames change. (If you select Power Boost, the flames bounce off the cookware.)
• The virtual flame may look different depending on the appearance, size, or position of the cookware. (For the best results, use cookware that matches the element size. Cookware that is too large can cover the virtual flame. Cookware that is too small can cause the virtual flame to be ill-formed.)
• Impurities on the cookware bottom or the cooktop surface can cause the virtual flame to be ill-formed or incomplete. Clean up the cookware or the cooktop surface before using them.
• To turn off the virtual flames, set the Virtual Flame option to Off in the Options menu. If the virtual flame function does not operate, check if the Virtual Flame option has been turned off in the Options menu. (See "Using the options function" on page 61.)

SIZE OF PANS

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

OPERATING NOISES

You may hear following operational noises:

• Cracking noises : A cracking noise can happen when you are using cookware which consists of two or more different materials.
• Whistling : A whistling noise occurs when both of back burners are in use. This is caused by vibration, and sounds will vary depending on weight, material of cookware or food. (Noise can be reduced by using thicker cookware.)
• Humming : A low humming sound can be heard on high power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will disappear when cooktop is turned off.
• Clicking : Electric switches are operating.
• Hissing, Buzzing : A fan noise can be heard during cooktop/oven operation. You may continue to hear it even after cooktop/oven is turned off. This is normal in order to cool down the temperature inside. It will automatically shut off itself after a short period of time.

These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.

USING SUITABLE INDUCTION COOKWARE

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.

3. Complete the entry by pressing START SET. The process is the same in Twin Mode.

If you leave the oven door open for more than 2 minutes when the oven is on, all heating elements will shut off automatically

When you have finished cooking, the cooling fan will continue to run until the oven has cooled down.

For performance reasons, the convection fan may be turned on or off during the operation.

CONVECTION BAKING

By using the convection bake feature, you will be able to cook faster. You can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 550 °F.

When operating in Twin Mode, you can program the oven for convection baking at any temperature between 175 °F and 480 °F. The improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and excellent results using multiple racks at the same time. Foods cooked on a single oven rack will generally cook faster and more evenly with convection baking. Multiple oven rack cooking may slightly increase cook times for some foods, but the overall result is time saved. Breads and pastries brown more evenly.

Tip for convection baking (single mode)

The amount of time you save will vary depending on the amount and type of food you are cooking. When baking cookies or biscuits, you should use pans with no sides or very low sides to allow the heated air to circulate around the food. Using a pan with a dark finish will result in faster cooking times.

When using convection baking with a single rack, place the oven rack in position 4. If cooking on multiple racks, place the oven racks in positions 2 and 5 (when baking cookies) or 2 and 4 (when baking cakes).

MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

SELF-CLEANING

This self-cleaning oven uses high temperatures (well above cooking temperatures) to burn off leftover grease and residue completely or reduce them to a finely powdered ash that you can wipe away with a damp cloth.

Before a self-cleaning cycle

• We recommend venting your kitchen by opening a window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the self-cleaning cycle.
• Remove the wire rack, broil pan, broil pan insert, all cookware, and any aluminum foil from the oven.
• Wipe up debris from the oven bottom. (Fig. 1)
• The silver-colored oven racks can be selfcleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster, and become hard to slide.

• Residue on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads, or cleansers such as Soft Scrub. Rinse well with clean water and dry.
• Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it. (Fig. 2)
• Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

Remove oven racks and accessories before starting the self-clean mode.

How to run a self-cleaning cycle

Press Self Clean once for a 3 hour clean time, twice for a 4 hour clean time, or 3 times for a 5 hour clean time.

The default setting is 3 hours.

2. Start the self-cleaning cycle.

Press START SET. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.

3. When the self-cleaning cycle is done, End will show in the display and a beep will sound 6 times.

How to delay the start of self-cleaning

1. Press Self Clean. Select the desired self-clean time by pressing Self Clean.
2. Press Delay Start.
3. Enter the time you want the clean cycle to start.
4. Press START SET. The display will show delay start, self clean, and the Lock icon. The motor-driven door lock will engage automatically.
5. The Self-Cleaning cycle will turn on automatically at the set time.

How to turn off the self-cleaning feature

You may find it necessary to stop or interrupt a self-cleaning cycle due to smoke in the oven.

1. Press OVEN OFF.

2. You will be able to open the oven door once the oven has cooled down for approximately 1 hour.

After a self-cleaning cycle

• You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. (If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.)
• If the oven is not clean after one cycle, repeat the cycle.
• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

STEAM-CLEANING

How to set the oven for steam-cleaning

For light cleaning, the Steam-cleaning function saves time and energy. For heavierduty cleaning of debris and grease, use the self-cleaning function.

1. Remove all accessories from the oven.
2. Pour approximately 10 oz. (300 ml) of water onto the bottom of the empty oven and close the oven door.

Use normal water only, not distilled water.

3. Press Steam Clean.

4. Press START SET.

When the operation is complete, the display will blink and a beep will sound.

6. Clean the oven’s interior.

There will be a significant amount of water remaining on the bottom of the oven after a steam-cleaning cycle. Remove the residual water with a sponge or soft dry cloth.

After a steam-cleaning cycle

• Take care when opening the door after a steam-cleaning procedure has ended. The water on the bottom is hot.
• Open the oven door and remove the remaining water with a sponge. Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time. Wipe the oven clean and dry with a soft cloth. Do not forget to wipe under the oven door seal.
• Use a detergent-soaked sponge, a soft brush, or a nylon scrubber to wipe the oven interior. Remove stubborn residue with a nylon scourer. You can remove lime deposits with a cloth soaked in vinegar.
• If the oven remains dirty, you can repeat the procedure once the oven has cooled.
• For heavy residue, such as grease left over from roasting, we recommend that you rub detergent into the residue before activating the steam-cleaning function.
• After cleaning, leave the oven door ajar at a 15 ° angle to allow the interior enamel surface to dry thoroughly

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE GLASS COOKTOP

Normal daily use cleaning

Use only a ceramic cooktop cleaner. Other creams may not be as effective.

By following these steps, you can maintain and protect the surface of your glass cooktop.

1. Before using the cooktop for the first time, clean it with a ceramic cooktop cleaner. This helps protect the top and makes cleanup easier.
2. Daily use of a ceramic cooktop cleaner will help keep the cooktop looking new.
3. Shake the cleaning cream well. Apply a few drops of cleaner directly to the cooktop.
4. Use a paper towel or a cleaning pad for ceramic cooktops to clean the entire cooktop surface.
5. Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue. No need to rinse.

Potential for permanent damage to the glass surface

• Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy, syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop. This is not covered under the warranty. You should clean the spill while it is still hot. Take special care when removing hot substances. Refer to the following section.
• When using a scraper, be sure it is new and the razor blade is still sharp. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Cleaning sugary spills and melted plastic

1. Turn off all surface units. Remove hot pans.
2. Wearing an oven mitt, use a single-edge razor-blade scraper to move the spill to a cool area of the cooktop. Remove the spill with paper towels.
3. Any remaining spillover should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.
4. Don’t use the surface units again until all of the residue has been completely removed.

If pitting or indentations in the glass surface have already occurred, the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, service will be necessary.
