Operation

Getting started

Positioning cookware
With induction cooking, it is only the part of the zone on
which the pan stands that is used. If you use a small pan
on the zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of
the pan.
DO NOT use cookware with jagged edges or a curved
base.
Ensure that the base of the pan is smooth, and sits flat
against the glass. Always center your pan on the cooking
zone.
Always lift pans up off the induction top – DO NOT slide
the cookware or they may scratch the glass.
DO NOT place hot cookware on the touch keys of the
induction module.
Setting the heat level
1. Push in the control knob and turn it either left or right
to the desired heat level.
-- The cooktop indicator light turns on.
2. Place appropriate cookware on top within 30 seconds.
-- If no pot is detected, the cooking zone is
automatically turned off. To reactivate the cooking
zone, turn the control knob to OFF and reset the
heat level.
Turning Off the induction module
1. Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.
-- The residual heat display of a cooking zone that is
hot remains illuminated until the cooking zone has
cooled down, even if the knob is turned OFF.
-- If the pan is removed but the cooking zone is not
turned OFF, the No Pot indicator light will flash.
Residual heat indicator
The induction module has a Hot Surface indicator to show
when surface is still hot. Although the module is switched
off, the indicator will remain on for as long as the surface is
hot. Avoid touching the surface when this indicator is lit.

PowerBoost
Both cooking zones are equipped with the PowerBoost
function. This function will heat large amounts of water
faster than at heat level 9. The PowerBoost, or XHI,
function temporarily increases the maximum output of the
selected cooking zone.
Powerboost mode boosts power on one zone by diverting
power from the other zone. If the other zone is on HIGH,
the power output will be reduced. If both zones are set to
XHI, power management will reduce each zone to a lower
setting. For example, if Zone 1 is set to XHI, Zone 2 is set
to 1, Zone 1 will automatically be reduced to power level
9.
When Zone 1 and Zone 2 are bridged PowerBoost is
available (see "Bridge" on page 7).
Activating the PowerBoost
1. Turn the control knob of the desired cooking zone to
XHI.
2. Turn the control knob to any other heat level to
disable PowerBoost mode.
-- PowerBoost mode will deactivate automatically
after approximately 10 minutes of continuous
operation. The PowerBoost function does not turn
on automatically when it becomes available again.
To turn it on manually, first set the control knob to
any other heat level and then turn the knob to XHI
again.
