Cooking Guidelines
Before using the induction cooktop
cartridge the first time to cook food,
experiment with the controls by boiling
water in an open pan so that you can
observe how the cartridge performs.
Bring the water to a boil on the HI
setting. Watch where the bubbles first
begin to form; that's where the pan first
begins to get hot and where food could •
scorch if cooked at too high a
temperature. Once the water boils,
move the slide control up and down to ,
observe how it instantly responds. (See
Fig. Q)

Recommended Cooking Procedures
• Set the utensil on the area to be used before turning on the controls.
• Place the utensil in the center of the design on the cooktop.
• Do not heat an empty utensil. If a pan needs to be preheated before frying or
sauteing, add butter or oil to the pan before heating. Heating an empty
utensil may cause the pan to warp and/or may cause the cooktop to shut
down. (See page 18 for information regarding the thermal sensor.)
• Since induction cooking is fast (possibly faster than what you have been
accustomed to), start cooking at the recommended cooking temperature.
For instance when frying bacon, start cooking on MED. (See Fig. R) Do not
turn slide control to HI with the intent of lowering the heat once the pan be-
comes hot enough to fry the bacon. The utensil begins to heat immediately
with induction and could become
too hot; food could be burned be-
fore the heat is reduced.
• Use the HI setting only to bring
liquids toa boil orto bring oil up to
temperature for deep-fat frying.
Once the boiling point has been
reached, the temperature should
be reduced.
• Sustained high heat temperature
can cause pans to warp, food to
scorch or burn onto the utensil; Fig. R
thus leave the slide control on HI only when necessary.
• Many foods can start cooking in the medium range temperature setting. The
slide control can then be adjusted to continue cooking at a lower or higher
setting if necessary.
