Control Lock

The Control Lock avoids unintended use of the surface cooking
areas.
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is off, the
cooktop is locked out, and the surface cooking areas cannot be
turned on by the cooktop touch controls.
If Control Lock is activated when power to the cooktop is on, all
keypads are locked out except for the Power and On/Off
keypads.
To Lock Cooktop:
Touch and hold the CONTROL LOCK keypad for 3 seconds. After
3 seconds, a tone will sound and the indicator light above the
Control Lock keypad will light, indicating that the cooktop
controls are in the lockout position.
If the cooktop is in use when Control Lock is activated, cooking
will proceed as normal and any timers that have been set will
continue their countdown.

Ceramic Glass

Cleaning off the induction cooktop before and after each use will
help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating.
For more information, see "General Cleaning" section.
Avoid storing jars or cans above the cooktop. Dropping a
heavy or hard object onto the cooktop could crack the
cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not leave a hot lid on the
cooktop. As the cooktop cools, air can become trapped
between the lid and the cooktop, and the ceramic glass could
break when the lid is removed.
For foods containing sugar in any form, clean up all spills and
soils as soon as possible. Allow the cooktop to cool down
slightly. Then, while wearing oven mitts, remove the spills
while the surface is still warm. If sugary spills are allowed to
cool down, they can adhere to the cooktop and can cause
pitting and permanent marks.
To avoid scratches, do not slide cookware or bakeware
across the cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not allow objects that
could melt, such as plastic or aluminum foil, to touch any part
of the entire cooktop.
To avoid damage to the cooktop, do not use the cooktop as a
cutting board.
Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking
area. Cookware should not extend more than ½" (1.3 cm)
outside the area.
A. Surface cooking area
B. Cookware/canner
C. ½" (1.3 cm) Maximum overhang
Use flat-bottomed cookware for best heat conduction and
energy efficiency. Cookware with rounded, warped, ribbed or
dented bottoms could cause uneven heating and poor
cooking results.
Determine flatness by placing the straight edge of a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware. While you rotate the ruler,
no space or light should be visible between it and the
cookware.
Make sure the bottoms of pots and pans are clean and dry
before using them. Residue and water can leave deposits
when heated.
