oPeRatinG tHe cookinG Zones

The Induction cooktop has four or five Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes.
Be sure to place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements
for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for the amount of food being prepared. Place the
cookware with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE setting any of the Cooktop
controls.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size cookware on the desired Cooking
Zone. Be sure to center the cookware on Cooking Zone completely covering the minimum
ring marked on the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the cookware requirements for the
Cooking Zone (pan wise) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and the LEDs
around the digital part of the display will start rotating around the affected Cooking Zone
Display. Any problems must be corrected before proceeding.
2. Touch and hold the POWER key pad for 1/2 seconds (or until a beep sounds). The Power
LED located above the POWER key pad will turn ON. NOTE: If no other key pad is
touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the cooktop will clear.
3. To start one or more of the Cooking Zones, lightly touch the ON/OFF key pad for the
Cooking Zones needed. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone will show a dim
ring of light indicating no power level for the Zone has been set yet. NOTE: If no other
key pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON the Cooktop Zone will
clear.
4. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by using one of the three methods
explained on page 13. If the "Power Boost" maximum power level is needed, once you
power up the Cooking Zone, touch the "+" pad and "Power Boost" will be displayed in
the Cooking Zone Display.
NOTE: Once the Cooking Zone power level has been set the food will begin to heat at
that level until the power level is manually changed except for Power Boost which will
reduce to HI after a specific amount of time. For more information about the available
Cooktop Zones power levels available see "Power Level Settings" section on page
To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:
1. Once cooking is complete, touch the ON/OFF key pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.
2. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level display will turn off. If no
other Cooking Zones are active and no other key pads are touched the entire cooktop
will shut OFF automatically in 10 more seconds.
3. When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding Cooking Zone display may display
hot surface if the Cooking Zone temperature is too HOT. The cooking zone display will
continue to display hot surface even if the Cooktop is switched OFF. The cooking zone
controls will continue to display hot surface as long as the cooktop remains HOT.
