Fig. 1
ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1
may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic
cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of
these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will
not heat indicated by a flashing power level in the digital
display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Selecting surface cooking cookware for
induction elements
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have
fiat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to
follow all the recommendations for using cookware.
Figure 2
Also remember to:
- Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking.
- 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.
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 SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of
the ceramic cooktop.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly
with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to
protect hands from burns.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the
glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
