Power sharing
OPERATION
POWER SHARING
• Induction cooktops are divided into two separate cooking areas; the right and left side
cooking elements share power.
• Power sharing is activated when the cooking element in the same area is activated;
the controls adjust power automatically. Power sharing is administered by the unit's
microprocessors, which will alternate power in one area.
• Power sharing happens when the total amount of watts is above the rated wattage,
which is 7200W for RCIND-24 and RCIND-30 and 9300W for RCIND-36. Max watts
is the first number in the diagrams on "Operation" on page 10 and "Boost" watts is
the second number.
• Power levels 3 through 9 use the max watts on the burner being used. When using three
burners at once above power level 3 — and then adding a fourth on Boost — this will
combine the total being used above the rated wattage.
• Power sharing then activates, ensuring total watt usage stays at 7200W/9300W; to do
so, the appliance will drop the Boost level to 9 and show the change on the display panel.
• Power sharing tips: Select the power setting last for the cooking element you want to
maintain at the highest heat setting. When cooking two items at the same time, place one
on an element in one section (the left side, for example) and the other item in another
section (right side).
• The diagrams on page 10 demonstrate how each cooktop is split into two cooking
areas and how power sharing works between the elements.

Induction Cooking
ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan, rather than indirectly
through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the pan eventually
warms it up.
Iron pot
Magnetic circuit
Ceramic glass plate
Induced currents
Induction coil
USING THE TOUCH CONTROLS
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not the tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or
a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
12
Compatible Cookware
OPERATION
CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction
symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
• You can check if cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet
toward the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
• If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. Follow the steps under "To start cooking".
3. If
does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
• Flat-bottomed pots or pans made from cast iron, enameled iron, nickel, or magnetic
stainless steel work best on induction cooktops.
• The following cookware is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without
a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
Size of burner (diameter) Minimum cookware size (diameter)
6 5/16" (160 mm) 4 3/4" (121 mm)
7 1/16" (179 mm) 5 1/2" (140 mm)
8 1/4" (210 mm) 6 5/16" (160 mm)
11" (279 mm) 7 1/16" (179 mm)
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
×
×
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size
as the cooking zone. Always center your pan on the cooking zone.
×
×
×
Always lift pans off the ceramic cooktop — do not slide or they may scratch the glass.
×
Compatible Cookware
NOTE: Some cookwares can produce noises when used on induction
cooking zones. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not
be impaired in any way as a result.
Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, only
certain materials can be used on your cooktop.
Induction
Optimally the cookware will have this
induction image on the retail box:
Induction requires pots and pans that are
made of ferrous(meaning magnetic)
materials.
Check your cookware’s retail box for the
induction symbol. To tell if your current
cookware is compatible with the induction
technology, grab a magnet and see if it
holds to the bottom of the cookware. If
your magnet stays on then your cookware
is ready to be used on the Induction
cooktop!
The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you use.
The following are not compatible: heat-resist
glass, ceramic, copper, aluminum pan/pots,
round-bottomed cookware, or cookware with a
base less than 5 inches.

COOKWARE NOISES
• Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron will produce less noise than a lighter stainless
steel pan. Lightweight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy weight quality cookware is
recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic glass
surface, though again, typically only at high power settings.
• Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when rivets are used, can vibrate.
• “Cracking” noise occurs if the cookware base is made of a different material.
• “Low humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is normal particularly at high
power settings.
• A “whistling” noise occurs if two elements are being used at the same time at high
settings, and the cookware base is made of a different material.
20
OPERATION
WARNING
Take care when frying, as oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re
using Boost. At extremely high temperatures, oil and fat will ignite spontaneously
and this presents a serious fire risk.
COOKING TIPS
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the power setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining heat.
• Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
SEARING STEAK
To cook juicy, flavorful steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan, such as a seasoned cast iron pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil and season generously. Drizzle a small amount of
oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the
thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 to 8
minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is — the firmer it feels the more
"well done" it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become
tender before serving.
FOR STIR-FRYING
1. Choose a ceramic compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick.
If cooking large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meats first and set aside.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower
setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.

When the power to the
cooktop is switched off,
there will be no "hot surface"
indication, but the cooking
zone may still be hot! Take
extreme care. Heavy-duty
scourers, some nylon scourers
and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the
glass. Always read the label
to check if your cleaner or
scourer is suitable. Never
leave cleaning residue on
the cooktop: the glass may
become stained.

WARNING
WARRANTY
COVERAGE
ZLINE Kitchen and Bath (“ZLINE”) induction cooktops have a one year parts and
service warranty.
ZLINE warranty periods begin from the original date of product delivery and solely cover the
original purchaser of the product, delivered new and in its original carton. The limited warranty
covers all parts and labor for necessary repairs if any part of the product, or the product itself,
proves to be defective in materials or workmanship. The product must be deemed serviceable
via troubleshooting with the ZLINE Customer Experience team. All service on ZLINE products
under warranty must be performed by ZLINE-approved and ZLINE-certified service providers
unless otherwise specified by ZLINE. Service will be provided during normal business hours.
Products must be unobstructed and accessible to the service provider at the time of service.
ZLINE’s liability is limited to the original purchase price of the product. Additional injuries,
losses, damages, or other inconveniences caused by product malfunction or defects in materials
are not covered under the terms of this warranty.
TERMS
ZLINE warranties apply only to the original purchaser of a ZLINE product installed for normal
residential use. This is defined as a single-family, residential dwelling in a non-commercial
setting. Any warranty claim stemming from installation, operation, or any other use within a
commercial setting is not covered under this limited warranty. Commercial settings include,
but are not limited to: schools, churches, hotels, restaurants, vacation rentals such as Airbnb,
daycare centers, private clubs, fire stations, common areas in multi-family dwellings, nursing
homes, food service locations, and institutional food service locations such as hospitals or
correctional facilities.
This warranty is non-transferable and will not under any circumstance be extended based on
the date of installation — the warranty period takes effect from the date of delivery and only
covers the original purchaser. The warranty applies only to products installed in the contiguous
United States and the District of Columbia. Failure to secure certified warranty service per
these terms will result in a forfeiture of the remaining warranty. Out-of-pocket payments will not
be reimbursed unless prior approval is received from ZLINE and/or ZLINE-certified service
contract partners. Unapproved out-of-pocket payments for service will not be reimbursed. All
warranty procedures must be followed to maintain warranty coverage.
WARRANTY
If a product qualifies within the service window provided under these warranty terms, and ZLINE
is unable to repair the product or a defective part of the product after a reasonable number
of attempts, ZLINE reserves the right to offer to replace the defective part or the product or
provide the original purchaser a full refund of the purchase price of the product (not including
installation, removal, or other charges that were not included in the original purchase price).
The original purchaser of the product must provide the original proof of purchase, including the
purchase date, when filing a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds. Additionally,
the original purchaser of the product must provide the serial number of the product when filing
a claim to obtain replacement parts, service, or refunds.
This warranty shall not apply to any ZLINE product in which the original factory serial
number has been removed, altered, or cannot be readily determined for any reason. Further,
ZLINE is not responsible for damage resulting from, but not limited to: shipment, delivery, or
improper installation; negligence or improper maintenance, misuse, or abuse of the product;
unauthorized alteration, modification, or tampering with the product; accident, fire, floods,
pest infestations, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unpreventable or unexplained
acts of nature, commonly referred to as “acts of God”; flare-up fires or damages caused
by improper electric supply, electrical line current, voltage, or power surges; and service
to correct installation not in accordance with the instructions contained in ZLINE’s product
manuals and/or with local government codes.
This warranty does not apply to aesthetic damage, scratches, or natural wear caused by normal
use; second-hand, open box products, or products purchased from an unauthorized retailer;
and damages or issues stemming from alteration or tampering with the cooktop, including, but
not limited to, painting any portion of the product’s interior or exterior and altering or otherwise
manipulating the power cord.
In the event service is dispatched, and it is discovered that the reported issue is not covered
under warranty based on the disclaimers above, the customer will be responsible for all service
fees. Failure to pay these fees will result in the forfeiture of remaining warranty coverage.
Information contained within ZLINE’s installation and user manuals, in addition to product
information included on ZLINE’s website and all related digital listings, do not cover every
possible condition and situation that may occur during the installation or operation of
