The hot surface indicator light will glow red when the corresponding element is heated. The
light will remain on after turning o the control knob until the element has cooled to a safe
temperature.
Induction Rangetop
Induction Cookware
Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat
source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware should be induction compatible and MUST have a magnetic layer of steel
for your induction cooktop to operate properly. The cookware should have a  at, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5”
(13 cm) to 12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive
dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes
pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, cast iron and any type of cookware with a footed base.
Operating Single Elements
All burners have variable controls. Turn the knob clockwise one click left to achieve the lowest setting. Continue turning
clockwise to the desired SIMMER, LOW, MED, or HI Settings. The  nal setting once you have turned the knob clockwise to
its max is the BOOST setting. Boost mode can be activated by over-rotating the knob and holding until the indicator light
turns white indicating that boost mode is active. Boost mode temporarily increases the power to the element allowing for
faster heat up times. It is recommended to use this function for boiling water or other liquids. You can only boost 1 element
per side at the same time. Boost only operates for 10 minutes then automatically reduces to the high setting indicated by
the indicator light turning blue.
If you boost an element while using an element on the same side, the element not in boost (indicated by blue indicator light) will have the
power reduced automatically. If you boost both elements at the same time (Both indicators are white) both elements will get the same power
which is ½ of the normal boost. This is good for using a griddle or rectangular pan over both elements. It is recommended to only use Boost
when boiling a pot of liquid, otherwise use the Low to High settings.
CAUTION
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should
not be placed on the induction surface since they can get hot.
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The
cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very
quickly, resulting in possible damge to the cookware and
ceramic glass.
CAUTION
