Pan Specifications
Pans used with an Induction Range must meet the following
specifications:
• Made of material with magnetic properties (ferrous
material)
- Enameled Steel Pans
- Cast Iron Pans
- Stainless Steel Pans
- Aluminum Pans w/ferrous base
• Proper size (measurements given are the pan bottom

NOTE:
The Induction Range
automatically detects if a pan

Control Display, and the unit will not operate.
Startup
1. Before turning on the unit each day, clean the glass cooking
surface using an appropriate cleaning wipe, damp paper
towel, or a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Wipe up all spills and
splashes immediately. Make sure unit is dry before
using. Do not allow liquid to run into air inlet filter on
bottom of unit.
NOTE: The unit can be turned off at any time by pushing the
Control Knob.
NOTE: The cooling fan in the unit will not start until the unit gets
hot. Once the fan turns on, it will run until the unit cools.
2. Plug the unit into a properly grounded, 15 A electrical
receptacle of the correct voltage, size, and plug
configuration. See the SPECIFICATIONS section for
details.
• A Welcome Screen will appear on the Control Display for
a few seconds (see illustration at bottom of page), then
the display will go blank.
3. Place an induction-ready pan on the unit. The Induction
Range will not operate without a pan centered inside the
cooking zone pattern on the glass cooking surface.
4. Push the Control Knob to start the
Induction Range.
• The blue Power Screen appears
showing a bar graph and a
percentage of power setting.
The Induction Range is now
operating in Power Mode. See
“Changing Cooking Mode” for information on cooking in
Temperature Mode.
NOTE: The pan icon in the upper left corner of the screen will
flash when no pan is on the glass cooking surface. The
icon will remain solid when a compatible pan is on the
cooking surface.
5. Turn the control knob to adjust the Power setting to the
desired percentage.
• Turn the control knob clockwise to increase the setting.
Turn the control knob counterclockwise to decrease the
setting.
• Most cooking in Power Mode will be done at a setting of
50% or less. Start with a lower setting because the unit
gets hot quickly. Make adjustments as necessary.
NOTE: Heat generation will stop automatically whenever a pan
is removed from the glass cooking surface. The unit will
hold the current setting for three minutes. If the pan is
placed back on the unit within the three minutes, the
unit will resume cooking at the current setting. After
three minutes, the Control Display will go blank and the
unit will shut off.
