Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms
of cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping
the cooking surface cooler than a traditional element.
Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional
forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls
are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without
turning off the power.
Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the
glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate
cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
Pan size, material (see "Cookware" section), and positioning
are very important to achieve maximum wattage.
The diameter of the pan's base should be equal to the size
of the element.
If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan
and will not activate.

Cooktop Controls

Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat
settings for optimal cooking results. When melting foods such
as chocolate or butter, the surface cooking area can be set
to the Melt function for minimal cooking power.
For maximum surface cooking power, all cooktop touch-
activated electronic controls can be set to Performance Boost
function when bringing liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Touch
the "+" keypad on the Heat Level slider to immediately reach
the highest setting.
NOTE: This cooktop will also work with a 208V operation
where 240V installation is not available.
First Use or After a Power Failure:
After connecting the cooktop to an electrical power supply
or after a power failure, the control panel will be locked. An
indicator light above the Control Lock keypad will be on. To
unlock the control panel, touch and hold CONTROL LOCK
for 3 seconds. The indicator light will turn off, and the cooktop
is ready for use.
