Warnings
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
·Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. ·Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. ·If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners. ·NEVER leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers which may cause them to burst. ·Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. ·Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. DO NOT leave plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a surface element. ·Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns. DO NOT pour spirits over hot foods. DO NOT leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms, etc; fire hazard.
In Case of Fire
·Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor. ·Cooking Surface: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet. ·NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan. ·DO NOT use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Child Safety
·To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays. ·NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. ·NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they could be injured or burned. ·DO NOT store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured. ·Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy and should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
·ALWAYS place a pan on a surface element before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface element. Make sure the correct element is turned on. When cooking is completed, turn element off before removing pan. ·NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking operations. ·NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface element. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the appliance. ·Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should NEVER be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught on appliance parts. ·ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle. ·DO NOT let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan off. ·NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. ·If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames to spread out of control.
Utensil Safety
·Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially small pans, with heavy handles as they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move when filled with food may also be hazardous. ·Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of fat. ·To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over adjacent burners. ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or back of the appliance, not out into the room where they are easily hit or reached by small children. ·NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil and the appliance. ·Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop surface usage without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using glass. ·This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. DO NOT use any devices or accessories that are not specifically recommended in this guide. DO NOT use eyelid covers for the surface units, or stovetop grills.

Surface Operation

Cooking Vessels
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking vessels that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done. Most cooking vessels are suitable for use on the electric range and it is not necessary to replace your present domestic vessels with commercial cookware. This a matter of personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. For the induction range, cookware needs to be induction compatible and completely magnetic on the bottom. Partial magnetic bottoms will not perform properly.
Note: When using big pots, it is recommended to use the front elements. There is more room in the front and potential cleanup of rear of appliance due to staining or discoloration will be minimized.
Choosing the Correct Cookware

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Cookware must be centered and fully contact the surface of the cooking element.

Use flat-bottomed pans. Do not use cookware with a footed base.
Pans should meet or exceed the recommended minimum size for the cooking element used.
Make sure pans sit completely on the cooktop surface and not on the cooktop trim.
Cookware should be properly balanced. Pans with heavy handles will tilt.
For induction ranges, cookware needs to be completely magnetic on the bottom. Partial magnetic bottoms will not perform properly. Do not use cookware such as pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, or cast iron.

8

Surface Operation
Electric Rangetop Single Front or Rear Element
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat setting. When finished, turn all controls to “OFF.”
Front and Bridge Element
Push in and turn the right rear control knob clockwise to the desired setting. The rear element and the bridge element will cycle on and off to maintain the desired heat setting. When finished, turn all controls “OFF.”
Electric Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The rangetop has hot surface indicator lights located in the center of the glass rangetop. The hot surface indicator light will glow red when the corresponding element is heated. The light will remain on after turning off the control knob until the element has cooled to a safe temperature.

CAUTION

CAUTION

Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be placed on the induction surface since they can get hot.
Induction Rangetop

DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible damge to the cookware and ceramic glass.

Induction Cookware

Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat

source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware should be induction compatible and MUST have a magnetic layer of steel

for your induction cooktop to operate properly. The cookware should have a flat, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5″

(13 cm) to 12″ (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive

dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes

pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, cast iron and any type of cookware with a footed base.

Operating Single Elements
All burners have variable controls. Turn the knob clockwise one click left to achieve the lowest setting. Continue turning clockwise to the desired SIMMER, LOW, MED, or HI Settings. The final setting once you have turned the knob clockwise to its max is the BOOST setting. Boost mode can be activated by over-rotating the knob and holding until the indicator light turns white indicating that boost mode is active. Boost mode temporarily increases the power to the element allowing for faster heat up times. It is recommended to use this function for boiling water or other liquids. You can only boost 1 element per side at the same time. Boost only operates for 10 minutes then automatically reduces to the high setting indicated by the indicator light turning blue.
If you boost an element while using an element on the same side, the element not in boost (indicated by blue indicator light) will have the power reduced automatically. If you boost both elements at the same time (Both indicators are white) both elements will get the same power which is ½ of the normal boost. This is good for using a griddle or rectangular pan over both elements. It is recommended to only use Boost when boiling a pot of liquid, otherwise use the Low to High settings.

Surface Operation
Induction Cooking Power The Induction cooktop has 2 generators and 4 cooking zones based on the model. Each generator powers 2 shared cooking zones. If using more than one cooking zone on high power on the same generator, the maximum cooking power may be reduced. For best performance results, start cooking on only one zone per shared generator. Once it has reached cooking temperature, start cooking on the second cooking zone. Power sharing tips: Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking element you want to maintain at a full setting heat. To maintain full setting for two items, place items in non-shared zones.
Shared Cooking Zones

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your rangetop must be kept clean and maintained properly. Before cleaning, make sure all controls are in the “OFF” position. Disconnect power if you are going to clean thoroughly with water.
WARNING
BURN OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Make sure all controls are OFF and rangetop is COOL before cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical shock
Glass Ceramic Top
Cleaning of glass ceramic tops is different from cleaning a standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass ceramic top, follow these basic steps:
For normal light soil: Rub a few drops of a glass ceramic cream to the cool soiled area using a damp paper towel. Wipe until all soil and cream are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective coating which is essential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
For heavy, burned soil: 1. Apply a few drops of glass ceramic cleaning cream to the cool soiled area. 2. Using a damp paper towel, rub cream into burned on area. 3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with a razor scraper. Hold the scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic surface. 4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the
cleaning cream. 5. Buff with a dry paper towel. As the cleaning cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the glass surface. This coating helps to prevent
build-up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove this protective coating and therefore make the glass ceramic top more susceptible to staining.

Cleaning Problems on Glass Tops

Problem Brown streaks and specks
Blackened burned on spots
Fine brown/gray lines, fine scratches, or abrasions which have collected soil

Cause
Cleaning with sponge or cloth containing soil laden detergent water.
Spatters or spillovers onto a hot cooking area or accidental melting of a plastic film, such as a bread bag.
Coarse particles (salt, sugar) can get caught on the bottom of cookware and become embedded into top.

To Prevent Use cleaning cream with clean damp paper towel.
Wipe all spillovers as soon as it is safe and DO NOT put plastic items on a warm cooking area.
Wipe the bottom of cookware before cooking. Clean top daily with cleaning cream. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning materials

To Remove
Use a light application of cleaning cream with a clean damp paper towel.
Clean area with cleaning cream and a damp paper towel, non-abrasive nylon pad or scouring brush. If burn-on is not removed, cool cooktop, and carefully scrape area with a single- edged razor blade held at a 30° angle.
Fine scratches are not removable but can be minimized by daily use of cleaning cream.

Use of abrasive cleaning materials.
Smearing or streaking Use of too much cleaning cream or use of a soiled dishcloth.

Hard water spots

Condensation from cooking may cause minerals found in water and acids to drip on glasstop and cause gray deposits. The spots are often so thin they appear to be in or the glasstop.

Use a small amount of cream. Rinse thoroughly before drying. Use only paper towels or nylon scrub pad or brush.

Dampen paper towel with a mixture of vinegar and water and wipe surface. Wipe area with damp paper towel or lint free cloth.

Make sure the bottom of utensils are dry before cooking. Daily use of cleaning cream will help keep top free from hard water mineral deposits and food discoloration.

Mix cleaning cream with water and apply a thick paste to stained area. Scrub vigorously. If stain is not removed, reapply cleaner and repeat process. Also try cleaning procedure for smearing and streaking.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Control Panel DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the control panel. Use hot, soapy water and
a soft clean cloth.
Control Knobs
MAKE SURE ALL CONTROL KNOBS POINT TO THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knobs straight off. Wash in detergent and warm water. Dry completely and replace by pushing firmly onto stem.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water at the end of each cooling period and with a liquid cleaner
designed for that material when soapy water will not do the job. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers, or powders. If necessary,
scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or
scraper. DO NOT use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. DO NOT permit citrus or tomato juice to remain
on stainless steel surface, as citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills immediately.
Power Failure
No attempt should be made to operate the appliance during a power failure. Make sure the controls are in the “OFF” position. Momentary power failure can occur unnoticed. The rangetop is affected only when the power is interrupted. When it comes back on, the rangetop will function properly without any adjustments. A “brown-out” may or may not affect operation, depending on how severe the power loss is.
Material Compatibility Detector – Induction Rangetops
If the pan’s material or its dimensions are not suitable, the pan indicator will flash and the unit will not cycle on.
Small Object Detector – Induction Rangetops
The induction range will not recognize any object or utensil smaller than 2 inches in diameter. For best results, use pans that are between 5″ (13 cm) and 12″ (31 cm) in diameter.
