Induction Controls
When turned on, an induction cooking zone will not
get hot. The induction cooking zone creates heat in
the cookware, not in the cooktop. Heat is not cre-
ated unless there is an iron or steel object on the
cooking zone.

Cooking Zone Setting Display

zone.
Figure 10: Setting displays (left)
If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting
indicator will fl ash, and the magnet will not turn on.
The indicator will also fl ash if the cookware in the
zone is the wrong size, off-center, or non-magnetic.
Hot Surface Indicator
If the cooking zone becomes hot
during cooking, the setting indica-
tor will show a Hot Surface warn-
ing (H) when the zone is turned
off. This warning will show until
the cooking zone cools.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
CAUTION
• Although induction cooking zones do not di-
rectly generate heat, they can become hot
from contact with hot cookware. Burns
may occur if a cooking zone or the surround-
ing area is touched before it has cooled to a
safe temperature.
• Do not place fl ammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrapping on top of the range when
it is in use. Heat radiating from cookware
could cause these items to melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could
catch fi re if placed too close to hot cookware.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fi re. If these items melt on the cooktop, they
will damage the cooktop.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave empty cookware on an operating
cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly
and may be damaged or warped if left on the
cooking zone empty.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil
over two different surface cooking areas at
the same time. Incorrect use may damage the
cooktop.
