Induction Cookware
IInduction 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). The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide
maximum performance and convenience.
All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are most other high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel
cookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable for your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to the bottom surface. Cookware that
is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.
Hot Surface Indicator Lights
The range has hot surface indicator lights. They are located to the bottom left of each burner. When the corresponding element is turned to
SIMMER, LOW, MED, or HI, the indicator light will fl ash blue if there is no pot or will remain solid blue while cooking. When the corresponding
element is turned to BOOST, the indicator light will fl ash white if there is no pot and will remain solid white while cooking.
After turning the element off , the indicator light will continue to fl ash alternating between blue and white until the surface has cooled.
Operating Single Elements
All burners have variable controls. Push in and turn the knob clockwise one click to achieve the lowest setting. Continue
turning clockwise to the desired SIMMER, LOW, MED, or HI Settings.
The fi nal setting once you have turned the knob clockwise to its max is the BOOST setting. Boost mode can be activated
by over-rotating the knob and holding until the indicator light turns white indicating that boost mode is active. Boost
mode temporarily increases the power to the element allowing for faster heat up times. It is recommended to use this
function for boiling water or other liquids. You can only boost one element per zone at the same time. (Refer to Power Sharing for zones.) Boost
only operates for 10 minutes then automatically reduces to the high setting indicated by the indicator light turning blue.
If you boost an element while using an element within the same power zone, the element not in boost (indicated by blue indicator light) will
have the power reduced automatically.
Induction Cooking Power
The induction range has 2 cooking zones consisting of 2 elements each. If using
more than one cooking element on high power in the same zone, the maximum
cooking power may be reduced. For best performance results, start cooking on
only one element per shared zone Once it has reached cooking temperature, start
cooking on the second cooking zone.
Power sharing tips: Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking
element you want to maintain at a full setting heat. To maintain full setting for two
items, place items in non-shared zones.
