Before Using the Cooktop
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended
cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit
www.sears.com
for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or
no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream
leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
Setting Cooktop Controls
Using the Touch Control
The recommended
way to use the touch pads on the cooktop is shown in Fig.
22. Be sure that your finger is placed in the center of the touch pad as shown. If
the finger is not placed on the center of a pad, the cooktop may not respond to
the selection made.
Lightly contact the pad with the flat part of your entire fingertip. Do not just use
the narrow end of your fingertip.

Operating
the Cooking
Zones
The Induction cooktop has five Cooking Zones designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that
meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements
(Fig. 19) 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 (See Fig. 20) are not met the sensors will detect a problem and
display the letter F in the affected Cooking Zone LED. Any problems must be corrected before proceeding.
2.
Touch and hold the _
key pad for 2 seconds (or until a beep sounds). The Power Indicator light located above
the _
key pad will turn ON. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 20 seconds the request to Power ON
the cooktop will clear.
3.
To start one or more of the five Cooking Zones lightly touch the Q
key pad for the Cooking Zones needed. A
beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level digital display will show 0 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 Oooking Zone by touching either the @
or Q
key pad. If the @
key pad
is touched the Cooking Zone will start at a "Power Boost" maximum power level (the Cooking Zone LED will display
and the control will beep once). If the Q
key pad is touched once the Cooking Zone will start at 1.0 (the
P
Cooking Zone LED will display 7 and the control will beep once).
NOTE: Touch once, or repeatedly touch the _
or _
key pads to adjust or scroll through power levels at any
time during the cooking process (To scroll through the power levels quickly touch and hold the @
or Q
key
pads until the power level desired is reached). 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. For more information about the available Cooktop
Zones power levels available see "Power Level Settings" section on page 6.
