Figure 12: Induction cooking zone control
To operate an induction cooking zone:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking
zone.
2. Activate the cooking zone.
• If the cooktop is not on, press the Main
Power key.
• Press the On/Off key for the desired cooking
zone. If you just turned the cooktop on, this
step can be skipped.
3. Set the cooking zone to the desired level (refer
to Table 1).
• Place your fi nger on the control and slide
until the desired setting is indicated.
• Press Power Boost to set the zone to Power
Boil.
• Press 1 to set the zone to its lowest setting.
4. When cooking is complete, turn the induction
cooking zone OFF by pressing its On/Off key or
the Main Power key before removing the cook-
ware. If all of the zones are off, the cooktop will
automatically power off in 20 seconds.
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.
NOTE
The cooktop has a sensor to detect cookware in
the cooking zone. The cooking zone will not be-
come active without proper cookware in position.
See "Pan Sensing" on page 10.
