Induction Ranges
Induction Cookware
Induction cooking utilizes magnetic power which reacts with iron in the base of cookware, instantly transforming the pot or pan into the heat
source. The heat stops when the cookware is removed. Your cookware should be induction compatible and MUST have a magnetic layer of steel
for your induction cooktop to operate properly. The cookware should have a fl at, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5"
(13 cm) to 12" (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive
dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience. Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes
pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.
Rear and Front Elements
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will adjust the power output to maintain the desired
heat setting. The left front burner has a "Boost" feature. A boost of power is provided for 10 minutes and is used for quickly boiling water when
the element is turned to HI. When fi nished boiling, turn the control knob to Med HI to maintain the boil or to a lower setting for steaming,
warming, and simmering sauces.
Note: Induction cooking uses high powered induction elements for faster cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed by the high
powered induction elements. This is normal.
Induction Surface Indicator Lights
The surface indicator lights are located at the front of the glass cooktop. The indicator lights
are used to indicate activation, hot surface, and warnings.

Reasaon
DO NOT heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The
cookware can absorb an excessive amount of heat very
quickly, resulting in possible damge to the cookware and
ceramic glass.
