Before Using The Cooktop - Samsung NSI6D 99 Series User Manual

Surface cooking

Before using the cooktop

Use quality cookware in good condition
Also remember to
• Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking.
See Cookware for induction cooking zones on page 29.
• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing
for more even cooking results.
• The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of
breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of
damage is not covered by your warranty.)
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to
clean after cooking.
CAUTION
• The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have
been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.
• DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands. Always use
oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
• DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently
damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
28 English
The cookware used with the cooktop

good contact with the entire surface of the
Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating
a ruler across the bottom of the cookware.

ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above may be detected by the sensors
