BEfORE SETTING SURfaCE CONTROLS
Induction Controls
When turned on, an induction cooking zone will not
get hot. The induction cooking zone creates heat in
the cookware, not in the cooktop. Heat is not cre-
ated unless there is an iron or steel object on the
cooking zone.
Cooking Zone Setting Display
The setting display will show the setting for the cook
zone.
If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting
indicator will flash, and the magnet will not turn on.
The indicator will also flash if the cookware in the
zone is the wrong size, off-center, or non-magnetic.
Hot Surface Indicator
If the cooking zone becomes hot during cooking, the
setting indicator will show a Hot Surface warning
when the zone is turned off. This warning will show
until the cooking zone cools.

CaUTION
• Although induction cooking zones do not di-
rectly generate heat, they can become hot
from contact with hot cookware. Burns
may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding
area is touched before it has cooled to a safe
temperature.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or
plastic wrapping on top of the range when it
is in use. Heat radiating from cookware could
cause these items to melt or ignite. Potholders,
towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to hot cookware.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of
the cooktop. Improper installation of these lin-
ers may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
If these items melt on the cooktop, they will
damage the cooktop.
IMpORTaNT
• Do not leave empty cookware on an operating
cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly
and may be damaged or warped if left on the
cooking zone empty.
• NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil
over two different surface cooking areas at
the same time. Incorrect use may damage the
cooktop.
