32 OPERATION
Hot Cookware and Residual Heat
CAUTION
• Unlike radiant surface elements, induction
cooking elements do not glow red when hot. You
can be burned if the glass surface is hot from the
residual heat transferred from the cookware. Do
not touch hot cookware or pans. Use oven mitts
or potholders to protect hands from burns.
Cooking Areas
The cooktop is equipped with four induction
cooking elements of different sizes. The wattage
ratings below are maximum outputs. The second
rating is the maximum output for Boost mode.
a Induction Left Front Cooking Element:
8", 2100 W / 3200 W (240 V)
b Induction Right Front Cooking Element:
11", 2400 W / 3900 W (240 V)
c Induction Left Rear Cooking Element:
6", 1300 W / 1800 W (240 V)
d Induction Center Rear Cooking Element:
6", 1300 W / 1800 W (240 V)
Benefits of Induction Surface
Cooking
Speed and Efficiency
Induction cooking elements heat faster and use
less energy. Induction power levels quickly boil
liquids and are efficient when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop
Whether induction cooking elements are turned
on or off, they remain cooler than radiant
elements. Virtually no heat is wasted because the
heat begins with the presence of cookware.
Easy Cleanups
Cooler cooking elements make for easier cleaning.
Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up
easily.
Pan Size Detection
A sensor automatically detects and adapts the
induction cooking element to the pan size in use
for more consistent, even cooking.
Greater Responsiveness
Induction cooking elements are more responsive
than their electric or gas counterparts because
only the pan heats. Induction elements heat more
easily and are just as responsive when reducing
temperatures to a simmer.
Induction Cookware
NOTE
• Before using the induction cooking elements,
carefully read and follow these cookware
recommendations and the instructions in the
pan sensing sections.
When purchasing pans for use on the induction
cooktop, look for cookware identified by the
manufacturer as "induction ready" or "induction
capable", or that is marked by the manufacturer as
specifically designed for induction cooking.
The base material of the cookware must be
magnetic for the cooking elements to activate. Use
a magnet to check if the cookware base material is
suitable. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of the
cookware, the cookware can be used for induction
cooking.
For the best possible surface cooking results, use
only high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on
the induction cooking elements. Follow
manufacturer's recommendations when using
induction cookware.
