COOKTOP USE
This manual covers different models. The cooktop you have purchased may have some or all of the features listed.
36" (91.4 cm) Touch-Activated Electronic Controls model shown
Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is quite different from traditional forms of
cooking. The heat is generated directly in the pan, keeping the
cooking surface cooler than a traditional element.
Induction cooking does not lose as much heat as traditional
forms because all the heat is created in the pan itself.
The cooktop heats up or cools down quickly after the controls
are set. It also stops heating when the pan is removed without
turning off the power.
Food spilled on the cooktop surface will not burn because the
glass is not heated. Induction cooking allows for immediate
cleaning after use because the heat is created in the pan.
Pan size, material (see “Cookware” section), and positioning are
very important to achieve maximum wattage.
The diameter of the pan’s base should be equal to the size of the
element.
If the pan is too small, the burner does not sense the pan and will
not activate.
Cooktop Controls
The touch-activated electronic controls offer a variety of heat
settings for optimal cooking results. For maximum surface
cooking area operation, all cooktop touch-activated electronic
controls can be set to Performance boost function when bringing
liquids to a fast and rapid boil. Set the surface cooking area heat
setting level to 9, then touch the “plus” (+) key to immediately
reach the highest setting.
NOTE:
Where 240V installation is not available, this cooktop will
automatically adjust to 208V operation.
