cookware manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units
of di erent sizes. Select cookware with fl at
bottoms that match the surface unit size.
Using the proper cookware on the cooking
area will improve e ciency.
Never leave surface elements unattend-
ed. Boil-overs may cause smoking and
greasy spills that may ignite. A pan that
has boiled dry could be damaged and may
damage the cooktop.
When you are fl aming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
WARNING
If an oven installed underneath is perform-
ing self-clean, then the surface cooking
unit must be turned o .
CAUTION
Persons with a pacemaker or similar
medical device should exercise caution
using or standing near an induction unit
while it is in operation, as the electro-
magnetic fi eld may a ect the working
of the pacemaker or similar medical
device. It would be advisable to consult
your doctor or the pacemaker or similar
medical device manufacturer about your
particular situation.
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area o before re-
moving the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned in-
ward and not extend over adjacent surface
elements. — To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of fl ammable materials, and spill-
age due to unintentional contact with the
utensil, the handle of the cookware should
be positioned so that it is turned inward,
and does not extend over other cooking
areas.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain
types of cookware are suitable for cook
top service and must be magnetic to work
properly on the induction zones. Check
the manufacturer’s recommendations for
cook top use to ensure that the cookware
is compatible with induction cooking.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cook-
top. If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of elec-
tric shock. Contact a qualifi ed technician
immediately.
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with
sharp objects.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
Although induction cooking zones do not pro-
duce heat, they can become hot from contact
with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking
zone or the surrounding area is touched before it
has cooled to a safe temperature.
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction
cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” sec-
tion and “Before You Call” checklist section of this
Use and Care Manual.
Sounds
The magnetic fi eld over the induction cooking zone
may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing
or humming noise. These sounds are not unusual,
especially at high settings.
Cookware that is not
perfectly fl at on the
bottom may vibrate
slightly against the
cooktop.
A loose handle may
vibrate in its socket.
Multi-material cookware
may allow small vibra-
tions in its structure.
Figure 1: Induction sounds
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher
quality cookware.
An induction cooktop may also produce faint click-
ing sounds from the electronic switches that main-
tain the desired cooking temperature. You may
also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the
cooktop.
How does induction work?
Most cooking uses radiant heat that must pass
through the cookware to get food hot. Induction is
a process that induces heat with an energy reac-
tion. When each cooking zone is turned on, power
goes to a coil under the cooktop. The powered
coil creates an electromagnetic fi eld. The electro-
magnetic fi eld reacts with compatible materials in
cookware, creating heat in the cookware itself. The
power level controls the heating level, delivering
precise results.
Induction Benefi ts
Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the
cooktop, induction o ers several advantages.
Cleaner cooking: Because induction works by
heating the cookware and not the cooktop, spills
don’t cook or stick to the surface.
Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be
cooler when you remove cookware than a con-
ventional cooktop would be. The only radiant heat
produced in induction is from the cookware itself,
so the kitchen stays cooler, too.
Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on
a conventional electric cooktop. Pay close atten-
tion to avoid scorching food when starting to cook.
You may need to use a lower setting for cooking
food than you are used to.
Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware
will change immediately when you change the set-
ting of the cooking zone.
Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more
evenly on an induction cooktop, so you are less
likely to have hot or cool spots in the cookware.
Energy E ciency: Because induction creates heat
directly in the pan, it uses less electricity than a
conventional cooktop.
Before Using Your Cooktop
Before using your cooktop for the fi rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in
most hardware, grocery, and department stores)
to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean
paper towel. Cooktop cleaning creams leave a
protective fi nish on the glass that will make clean-
ing easier when the cooktop is soiled from cooking
and help prevent scratches and abrasions.
10
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Using Proper Cookware
The size and type of cookware used will infl uence
the heat setting needed for best cooking results.
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using
proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Testing cookware
Check for fl atness by ro-
tating a ruler across the
bottom of the cookware
(see Figure 1). Cookware
should have fl at bot-
toms that make good
contact with the entire
surface of the heating
element (see Figure 2).
Cookware Material Types
Cookware material is especially important when
using an induction cooktop. The cookware must
contain magnetic iron or steel to work on an in-
duction cooktop. Common materials for induction
cookware include the following:
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor. Durable,
easy to clean, and resists staining. Some types
of stainless steel will not work on an induction
cooktop. Use the magnet test (see “Figure 4:
Magnet test”) to check stainless steel cookware.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking tem-
perature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac-
teristics will vary depending on the base ma-
terial. Porcelain-enamel on a compatible metal
will work on an induction cooktop. Use the
magnet test to check porcelain-enamel cook-
ware.
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the
magnet clings fi rmly to the bottom of the cook-
ware, the cookware will work on your induction
cooktop
Cookware sold as induc-
tion-ready will often have a
symbol printed on the bottom
by the manufacturer.
Figure 3: Induction symbol
The Magnet Test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see
Figure 2).
If the magnet clings fi rmly to the bottom of the
cookware, it will work on your induction cooktop.
If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cook-
ware will not heat up on your induction cooktop.

CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cook-
ing zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty
piece of cookware is left on an operating induc-
tion cooking zone, the rapid change in tempera-
ture may warp or damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.

• Pan is properly balanced.
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop
edge.
• Cookware not centered on
cooking zone.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms
or sides.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Cookware base material has
good magnetic characteristics.
• Cookware base material is
non-magnetic.

Figure 6 shows conditions that can prevent pan
detection.
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and
maximum pan size for each cooking zone. For best
results, use cookware that matches the size of the
cooking zone.
The inner ring on each cooking zone indicates the
smallest pan size for the zone (Figure 8).
The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the
largest pan size for that zone (Figure 9).
Cookware that is too small for a zone may not acti-
vate the cookware detection sensor. Cookware that
is much larger than a cooking zone will still cook,
but may be slower and uneven. If your cookware is
not a perfect match, it is best to use a zone a little
smaller than the bottom of the cookware.
Figure 7: Min / max pan size
When the cooktop is on, the cooking zones auto-
matically detect when cookware is placed on the
zone. The control for that zone will light up, making
it easy to know which section of the control to use
for that cooking zone.
If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone,
the zone will turn o after 30 seconds.
If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any
zone for 30 seconds, the whole cooktop will turn
o .

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
• Although induction cooking zones do not
directly generate heat, they can become hot
from contact with hot cookware. Burns may
occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding
area is touched before it has cooled to a safe
temperature.
• Do not place fl ammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrapping on top of the range when it
is in use. Heat radiating from cookware could
cause these items to melt or ignite. Pothold-
ers, towels, or wooden spoons could catch
fi re if placed too close to hot cookware.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fi re. If these items melt on the cooktop, they
will damage the cooktop.
Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop
It’s best to lift cookware before moving it on the
ceramic glass cooktop. Cookware that has a rough
or dirty bottom can mark and scratch the ceramic
glass surface. Always start with clean cookware.
Figure 12: Move cookware carefully on cooktop
Power Management
Your induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and
4 or 5 cooking zones, depending on the model. A
generator may power 1 or 2 cooking zones. If you
use more than one cooking zone on high power at
the same time and they are on the same gener-
ator, the cooktop may need to manage power to
the two cooking zones.
Figure 13: Power management, 4 cook zones
Figure 14: Power management, 5 cook zones
To get the best performance from your cooktop,
start cooking on only one cooking zone. After the
fi rst piece of cookware has reached cooking tem-
perature, then start cooking on the second cooking
zone.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points
when home canning with your appliance. Check
with the USDA (United States Department of Agri-
culture) Web site and be sure to read all the infor-
mation they have available as well as follow their
recommendations for home canning procedures.
• Use only a completely fl at bottom canner with
no ridges that radiate from the bottom cen-
ter when home canning. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is fl at. Use a
straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does
not exceed 1 inch beyond the surface element
markings or burner.
• It is recommended to use smaller diameter can-
ners on electric coil and ceramic glass cooktops
and to center canners on the burner grates.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil
more quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when fi rst bringing
the water to a boil. Once boiling is achieved,
reduce heat to lowest possible setting to main-
tain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions care-
fully. Check with your local Cooperative Agri-
cultural Extension Service or a manufacturer of
glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on
high heat for an extended amount of time.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
TempLock
TempLock uses a temperature sensor
to maintain a consistent temperature
when cooking. When cool batter, liq-
uid, or food is added to a hot pan, the
pan cools down a little.
TempLock senses this change and will
use extra power to maintain the desired tempera-
ture setting. The feature also lets you know when
your cookware is preheated, so making pancakes
or sautéing fresh food has better results.
The temperature of your cookware will depend on
the level you select and the material of the cook-
ware you use. Experiment a little to determine
what worksfor you for cooking various dishes. Dif-
ferent pots and pans will hold at di erent tempera-
tures, so you will need to learn how your cookware
works with this feature.

NOTE
To get an idea of how hot a piece of cookware
will get at a particular setting, try the Magnet
Test (page 10). The more strongly a magnet
clings to the cookware, the hotter that cookware
will get at any particular setting on the cooktop.
To get consistent results, use the same piece of
cookware for particular cooking tasks.
When using small amounts of oil for frying or
sautéing, add the oil after the pan is preheated.
Keep an eye on your cookware during preheat.
Induction is powerful, and letting cookware get
too hot while empty may warp or damage it.

Porcelain door liner
Porcelain body parts
Rinse with clean water and a damp cloth. Scrub gently with a soapy,
non-abrasive scouring pad to remove most spots. Rinse with a 50/50
solution of clean water and ammonia. If necessary, cover di cult
spots with an ammonia-soaked paper towel for 30 to 40 minutes.
Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Remove all cleaners or future
heating could damage the porcelain. Do not allow food spills with a
high sugar or acid content (milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or
pie fi lling) to remain on porcelain surfaces. These spills may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning.
Manual clean oven interior The oven interior is porcelain coated and safe to clean using oven
cleaners. Always follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaners. Af-
ter cleaning, remove any oven cleaner or the porcelain may become
damaged during future heating. Do not spray oven cleaner on any
electrical controls or switches. Do not spray or allow oven cleaner to

CARE AND CLEANING
Cooktop Maintenance
Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to
maintaining your ceramic glass cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the fi rst time, apply
a ceramic cooktop cleaning cream (available in
most hardware, grocery, and department stores)
to the ceramic surface. Clean and bu with a clean
paper towel. This will make cleaning easier when
soiled from cooking. Cooktop cleaning creams
leave a protective fi nish on the glass to help pre-
vent scratches and abrasions.
Sliding pans on the cooktop can cause metal mark-
ings on the cooktop surface. These marks should
be removed immediately after the cooktop has
cooled using cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks
can become permanent if not removed prior to
future use.
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic, or glass) with
rough bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop
surface.
Do not:
• Slide anything metal or glass across the cook-
top.
• Use cookware with dirt or dirt build up on the
bottom; always use clean cookware.
• Use your cooktop as a cutting board or work
surface in the kitchen.
• Cook foods directly on the cooktop surface
without a pan.
• Drop heavy or hard objects on the ceramic
glass cooktop; they may cause it to crack.
Figure 25: Cooktop care
For light to moderate soil:
For light to moderate soil: Apply a few drops of
cooktop cleaning cream directly to the cooktop.
Use a clean paper towel to clean the entire cook-
top surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned
thoroughly, leaving no residue. Do not use the
towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other
purpose.
For heavy, burned on soil:
Apply a few drops of cooktop cleaning cream di-
rectly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using
a non-abrasive cleaning tool, applying pressure as
needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the
cooktop for any other purpose.
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal
razor blade scraper held at a 30 degree angle to
the surface. Finish cleaning with cooktop cleaning
cream.

Cooktop Cleaning
IMPORTANT
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur
if you use an abrasive type cleaning pad. Only
use cleaning products that have been specifi cally
designed for ceramic glass cooktops.
CAUTION
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls
are turned to OFF and the cooktop is cool. The
glass surface could be hot from contact with hot
cookware, and burns may occur if the glass sur-
face is touched before it has cooled su ciently.
WARNING
Do not use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and
can chemically damage the ceramic-glass sur-
face.
