Operating the induction surface elements
The cool<top is equipped with 2 induction surface elements:
the RIGHT FRONT and REAR positions (Figure 1).
To Operate the Induction Surface Elements
1. Place the correctly sized cookware of the proper
material on the induction surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either
direction to the desired setting (Figure 2).
Note: Turning the knob from Off to Hi will activate the
Power Boost feature. The Power Boost feature is used
to bring large quantities of water or food to cooking
temperature at the fastest speed possible. The Power
Boost feature will give you up to 139% power output
for a set amount of time (approx. 10 min).
3. Turn the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start
most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface
element provides a constant amount of heat at each
setting.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware.
Power Sharing
Your cool<topis equipped with two induction elements
within one heating section. The heating section is powered
by an independent induction inverter. The two cooking
zones in the heating section share the power of the
inverter. This is called Power Sharing.
For example, if pans are cooking food items on both
Cooking Zones, the last Power Level set will be maintained,
while the first pan may experience a slight reduction in
the power level setting. The element ON indicator light will
turn GREEN when power sharing is enabled.
POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level
for the food item you wish to maintain last (See Fig. 3).
