Setting Surface Controls
Setting induction zones (cont'd)
Important notes:
• The size and type of cooking utensil used, and the
amount and type of food being cooked will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
• If the cookware is moved from the center of any active
induction cooking zone, the pan sensor will detect the
situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The
affected cooking zone display window will flash until the
cookware is moved back to center of cooking zone. If
the cookware is placed back properly and centered on
the cooking zone the cookware will resume heating. The
cooking zone will remember the power level setting for
up to 3 minutes before the cooking zone will
automatically shut OFF.
• When initially setting the cooking zone for Hi, the surface
control will automatically set for Power Boost. After ten
minutes the Power Boost setting will then adjust to the Hi
power level setting. If the Hi power level setting is
desired press the Lo keypad until the Hi power level
setting appears in display.
• Do not allow aluminum foil, or ANY material that can
melt to make contact with the glass cooktop surface
when hot or hot cookware. If these items melt they may
damage the ceramic cooktop or cookware. Even though
the Cooking Zones may not appear to be hot, the
cookware can become very hot and risidual heat will
eventually transfer from the cookware to the cooktop
surface.
Home Canning
Be sure to read and observe all the following points when
home canning with your appliance. Check with the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website and be
sure to read all the information they have available as well
as follow their recommendations for home canning
procedures.
• Use only quality flat bottom canners when home canning.
Use a straight-edge to check canner bottom.
• Use only a flat bottom canner with no ridges that radiate
from the bottom center when home canning on a
ceramic cooktop.
• Make sure the diameter of the canner does not exceed
1/2 inch (13 mm) beyond the induction cooking zone
markings. It is recommended to use smaller diameter
canners on ceramic glass cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to bring water to boil more
quickly.
• Use the highest heat setting when first bringing the water
to a boil. Once boiling is achieved, reduce power level to
lowest possible setting to maintain that boil.
Important note:
Never place or straddle a cooking utensil over two
different cooking zones at the same time. It is important to
place cookware individually centered on the cooking zones
and that the pan size used meets both minimum and
maximum size requirements for the cooking zone. If the
pan size or placement is not correct, the pan sensor will not
allow the cooking zone to activate.
