Virtual flame technology

Virtual flame technology creates the appearance of flames when you turn on an induction element.

• Virtual flame technology is available only on the right burner.
• The virtual flame may look different depending on the appearance, size, or position of the cookware. (For the best results, use cookware that, matches the element size. Cookware that is too large can cover the virtual flame. Cookware that is too small can cause the virtual flame to be ill-formed.
• Impurities on the cookware bottom or the cooktop surface can cause the virtual flame to be ill-formed or incomplete. Clean the cookware or the cooktop surface before using them.

NOTE: For optimal performance of the virtual flame, we recommend using the cookware that satisfies the following conditions

Magnetic Knob

The magnetic knob is a detachable control knob with a magnetic base you can use to set and adjust the power level of any of the induction elements on your cooktop easily and intuitively. To use the magnetic knob:

1. Place it in the center of the element control of your choice. The knob's magnet holds it in place.
2. Press the POWER key to turn on the cooktop, and then press the element's ON/OFF key within 20 seconds.
3. Grasp and turn the magnetic knob to set the element's power level.

With the cooktop powered on, if you put the magnetic knob over an unused element on the control panel, the cooktop recognizes the knob and sets the power level to 0. Then, you can change the power level using the knob.

NOTE: You can also set the power level by touching the element control with your finger.

Residual heat indicator

• When an individual cooking zone or the cooktop is turned off, the presence of residual heat is shown with an , (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled. You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
• NOTE: The uppercase ' ' indicates higher temperatures than the lowercase ' '.
• WARNING: As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
• WARNING: If the power supply is interrupted, the , symbol will go out and information about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the cooktop.

Cooking areas

• The cooking areas on your cooktop are identified by permanent circles on the glass cooking surface. For the most efficient cooking, fit the pan size to the element size.
