3. BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
3.1 Induction Cooktop Features
Refer to Safety chapters.
Induction offers several advantages:
• Cooler Cooktop - regardless of whether the Induction Cooktop is
turned on or not, the surface remains cooler than ceramic cooktops.
• Cleaner Cooking - spills do not cook or stick to the surface,
because induction works by heating the cookware and not the
cooktop.
• Magnetic Detector - the coil sensor automatically detects whether
the pan is magnetic and prevents from accidental activation.
• Pan Size Detection - the pan recognition sensor automatically
detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
• Energy Efficiency - induction cooking heats cookware faster while
using less energy.
• Fast Heating - cookware heats up faster than on a ceramic
cooktop. You may need to use a lower setting for cooking food than
you are used to.
• Even Heating - cookware heats more evenly than on a ceramic
cooktop, so you are less likely to have hot or cool spots in the
cookware.
CAUTION!
The Cooking Zones do not directly generate heat, but the glass
surface may become hot from contact with hot cookware. There is
a risk of burns! Do not touch the Cooking Zone or the surrounding
area until it is cooled to a safe temperature.
3.2 Sounds
The magnetic field 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.
You may hear sounds when:
• The bottom of the cookware is not perfectly flat and may vibrate
slightly against the cooktop.
• The pan or cookware handle is loose and may vibrate in its socket.
• Cookware is multi-material which may allow small vibrations in its
structure.
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality cookware.
An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking sounds from the
electronic switches that maintain the desired cooking temperature. You
may also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the cooktop.
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop cleaning
in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Troubleshooting” section
of this User Manual.
3.3 Correct Cookware Type
Induction cooking heats the cookware by generating an
electromagnetic field using a coil placed under the cooking zone.
Use a suitable cookware, made of or containing a ferromagnetic metal.
• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, multi-layer
bottom (with a correct marking from a manufacturer).
• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob if:
• it has induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the
cookware.
• water boils very quickly on a zone set to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
Cookware recommendations:
• Use cookware with a flat bottom, so they make full contact with the
entire surface of the cooking zone. Check if the bottom is flat by
rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.
• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat
distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
• The cookware size should be appropriate for the amount of food
being cooked.
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Use only cookware with
clean and dry bottom.
• Do not let the cookware boil dry. This may cause damage to the
cookware and ceramic cooktop. This type of damage is not covered
by the warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not slide the cookware across the cooktop surface. This may
scratch the ceramic surface and permanently damage your
appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not touch hot cookware with bare hands. There is a risk of
burns! Always use oven gloves or pot holders.
3.4 Pan Sensing
When the cooktop is active, cookware placement is auto-detected by
the Cooking Zones. The corresponding control illuminates, indicating
the control section for the active zone.
If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone, the zone will turn off
after 30 seconds.
If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any zone for 30 seconds,
the whole cooktop will turn off.
Table below shows pan sensing conditions that may prevent pan
detection.
Correct Incorrect
Cookware base material has good mag‐
netic characteristics.
Cookware base material is non-magnetic.
Cookware centered correctly on cooking
zone.
Cookware not centered on cooking zone.
Flat pan bottom and straight sides. Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.
Pan rests completely and is level on the
cooktop surface.
Pan bottom rests on cooktop edge.
Pan is properly balanced. Heavy handle tilts pan.
3.5 Using the Cooking Zones
Be sure to follow the recommendations for using the Cooking Zones:
• Place the cookware in the center of the Cooking Zone.
• Use cookware with flat bottom and straight sides.
• Be sure the cookware size meets or exceeds the size of the
Cooking Zone by a maximum 1/2 inch (13 mm). To check the
minimum size of the Cooking Zones refer to Cooktop Features.
• The bottom of the cookware should completely adhere to the
Cooking Zone surface.
NOTE
If the cookware does not meet one or more of the above
conditions, the power level flashes and the Cooking Zone does not
heat up. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop
again.
ENGLISH 5
3.6 Moving Cookware on a Smooth Cooktop
Lift the 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.
NOTE
Always start with clean cookware.
CAUTION!
Move cookware carefully on the cooktop.
3.7 Power Management
The induction cooktop is equipped with 2 or 3 generators and 4 or 5
cooking zones, depending on a model. Each generator can power 1 or
2 cooking zones. If you use more than one cooking zone on high power
at the same time and they share the same generator, the cooktop may
need to manage power between two cooking zones.
Power management for 4 cooking zones
Power management for 5 cooking zones
NOTE
To get the best performance of the cooking zones, start cooking on
a single cooking zone and once the initial cookware reaches the
desired cooking temperature, proceed to use the second cooking
zone.
3.8 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 Agriculture) Web site and be sure to read all the
information available as well as follow recommendations for home
canning procedures.
Canning recommendations:
• Use only a completely flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate
from the bottom center when home canning. Heat is spread more
evenly when the bottom surface is flat. 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 canners 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 first bringing the water to a boil.
Once boiling is achieved, reduce heat to lowest possible setting to
maintain that boil.
• Use tested recipes and follow instructions carefully. Check with your
local Cooperative Agricultural Extension Service or a manufacturer
of glass jars for the latest canning information.
• It is best to can small amounts and light loads.
CAUTION!
Do not leave water bath or pressure canners on high heat for an
extended amount of time.

use the towel you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.
3. Ensure thorough cleaning, do not leave any residue.

2. Rub the soiled area, use a non-abrasive cleaning tool, apply
pressure as needed.
3. Do not use the same pad you use to clean the cooktop for any
other purpose.
