Operating induction cooking zones
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then
adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings (provided in Fig. 1) may vary
slightly depending on the cookware design, quality and
amount of food being prepared.
Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with
magnetic base material and meets the minimum and
maximum pan size requirements.

NOTES
• The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1
are based on cooking with medium sized pans with
lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments
needed for best surface cooking results.
• The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Pan preheat recommendations
Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount
of time required to preheat a cooking utensil compared
to cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface
burner.
Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close
attention to all food items cooking and remain very
attentive until all the cooking processes are complete.
IMPORTANT
Remember that induction surface cooking will initially
heat the cooking utensil very quickly.
To operate induction cooking zones:
Step
1. Place induction cookware on the desired cooking
zone.
2. To activate the cooking zone, push in and turn the
control knob in either direction to the desired setting.
3. Adjust the power level by turning the knob. This
will decrease or increase the power level. Power
levels 9.5 through 1.5 decrease and increase by 0.5
increments. Lo is the lowest power level available.
4. Once cooking is complete, turn the control knob to
OFF and remove cookware.
