recommendations for cooktop use.
Use proper pan size - This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with
flat bottoms that match the surface unit size. Using the
proper cookware on the cooking area will improve efficiency.
Never leave surface elements unattended. 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 flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
on the fan.
1.8 Important instructions for using
glass and ceramic cooktops
Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
Clean the 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.

2. BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
2.1 Induction Cooktop Features
Refer to Safety chapters.
Induction offers several advantages:
4 ENGLISH
• 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.
2.2 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.
2.3 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.
2.4 The Magnet Test
To see if the piece of cookware will work on your induction cooktop, try
to stick a magnet to it.
If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on
your induction cooktop.
If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not heat up
on your induction cooktop.
CAUTION!
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone will heat
up very quickly. If an empty piece of cookware is left on an
operating induction cooking zone, the rapid change in temperature
may warp or damage the cookware.
Do not place hot cookware on the control panel. The heat may
damage the electronic parts.
2.5 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.
Table title
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.
2.6 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.
The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the largest pan size for
that zone.
Cookware that is too small for a zone may not activate 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.

may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding area is touched
before it has cooled to a safe temperature.
• Do not place flammable 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. Potholders, towels, or wooden
spoons could catch fire 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 fire. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will
damage the cooktop.
2.10 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.
2.11 Power Management
The induction cooktop is equipped with 2 generators and 4 cooking
zones, depending on a model. Each generator powers 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.
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

2.12 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.

• The Hot Surface indicator (H) will show in the setting indicator when
heat is detected in a cook zone that has been turned off. The
indicator will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
3.4 TempLock
TempLock uses a temperature sensor to maintain a consistent
temperature when cooking. When cool batter, liquid, 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 temperature 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 cookware you use. Experiment a little to
determine what works for you for cooking various dishes. Different pots
and pans will hold at different temperatures, so you will need to learn
how your cookware works with this feature.
TempLock is available for some cooking zones when they are active.
Press the TempLock to activate the TempLock function. The indicator
turns red. Press a number key to select one of the 9 preset cooking
levels.
NOTE
To get an idea of how hot a piece of cookware will get at a
particular setting, try the Magnet Test. Refer to Before Setting
Surface Controls. 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.
Preheat Indicators
While the cooking zone is heating, the square above the TempLock
idicator will flash. When the temperature is reached, all three squares
