Setting induction cooking zones

To operate an induction cooking zone:

1.  Turn the cooktop on by pressing the 

Power

 key.

2.  Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking 

zone. The controls for a zone won’t activate 
unless cookware is detected.

3. Press 

the 

On/Off 

 key for the active cooking 

zone. The indicator will turn red.

4.  Set the cooking zone to the desired level (refer 

to Table 1) by pressing the number of the de-
sired setting or 

P

.

5.  When cooking is complete, turn the induction 

cooking zone OFF by pressing its 

On/Off 

 key 

or the 

Power

 key before removing the cook-

ware. If all of the zones are off , the cooktop will 
automatically power off  in 30 seconds.

At any time, you can change the setting for an ac-
tive cook zone by pressing the number of the new 
setting.

IMPORTANT

Do not leave empty cookware on an operating 
cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly 
and may be damaged or warped if left on the 
cooking zone empty.

NOTE

A cooking zone will not become active without 
proper cookware in position. See “Key-Stuck 
Function” on page 12page 11. 

If the cooktop does not detect cookware within 
30 seconds, it will turn off .

Suggested induction cooking zone settings

Start most cooking operations on a higher setting 
and then turn to a lower setting to fi nish cooking.

The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are 
based on cooking with medium-weight stainless 
steel pans with lids. Settings may vary when using 
other types of pans.
