Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of
cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the
cooking surface cooler than a traditional element.
Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional
forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls
are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without
turning off the power.
Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the
glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate
cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
Pan size, material (see "Cookware" section), and positioning are
very important to achieve maximum wattage.
The diameter of the pan's base should be equal to the size of
the element.
If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and
will not activate.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat
settings for optimal cooking results.
The cooktop has 2 cooktop zones. Each cooktop zone has its
own set of controls for the 2 cooking areas in that zone.
