BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR
THE FIRST TIME
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and
grease which may have remained from the
manufacturing process.
If present, remove all packing and literature from
the cooktop surface.
Clean your glass top before the first time you use
it. A thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is
recommended. It only takes a minute and puts a
clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its
initial use.
There may be a slight odour during the first
several uses: this is normal and will disappear.
Optimum cooking result depends on the proper
cookware being selected and used.
The cooking surface will hold the heat and
remain hot over 20 minutes after the elements
have been turned off.
The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable
material resistant to impact but not unbreakable if
a pan or other object is dropped on it.
Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage
the pan, element and /or cooktop.
Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it
may scratch the glass
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is
not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and
may result in cooktop damage.

Power Sharing
Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate
heating zones.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones.
One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones
within a heating section share the power of one generator.
Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the
same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for
Boost (P). The element that is not set for Boost will change
to a lower power level. This is called Power Sharing.
Cookware “noise”
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low whistle
or intermitted “hum”. Pans that completely cover the element ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise is normal
particularly on high settings. These noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level settings of one or
both of the elements.
