INDUCTION COOKTOP OPERATION
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.

induction generators.

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 not 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.
