Important Safety Instructions; Product Record; Serial Plate Location; Induction Cooktop Features - Kenmore 790.4280 Use & Care Manual

• Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with one
or more COOKING ZONES of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
Cooking Zones. The pan detection sensors will not allow the
affected Cooking Zone to operate without a pan present.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should
Not Extend Over Adjacent Cooking Zones. To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.
• Never Leave Prepared Food on the Cooking Zones
Unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may
melt or become damaged.
• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the cooktop. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended after the cooking process, if used as a cover
to be placed over the food. Any other use of aluminum foil
may result in the risk of electric shock, fire or short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your cooking
surface should be cleaned frequently, so the grease from
cooking vapors does not accumulate on the hood or filter.

Induction Cooktop Features

A COOLER COOKTOP - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
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 transfered from the cookware and burns may occur.
MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates accidental
"turn-ONs."
PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan recognition sensor automatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the pan sizes
in use.
EFFICIENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and when
simmering.

Important Safety Instructions

Serial plate is located under
the burner box of cooktop.
FOR CERAMIC COOKTOP ONLY
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• Clean Cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop Glass.
This could cause glass to break.
• Do not slide pans across the cooktop surface. They may
scratch the cooktop surface.
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can
affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of damage is
not covered by your warranty).
