USING YOUR RANGE
Pan Preheat Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time
required to preheat cookware compared to cooking
on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.
Pay close attention to all food items while cooking
on the cooktop or in the oven, and until all cooking
processes are complete.
Noises during Cooktop Operation
The electronic processes involved with induction
cooking may create some background noises. You
may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on
the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction
cooking process and are considered normal.
Some cookware will buzz, depending on the
construction or base material. The buzz may be
more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold.
As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The
noise will also decrease if the power level setting is
reduced.
NOTE:
When using the induction cooktop, operational
noises are more noticeable while cooking in Boost
mode. But very loud noises are not normal when
induction cooking.
Even though the Surface Element is not operated,
Cooktop Fan would operate to make the product
cool if the combined heat of the oven and the
surface burners is sufficiently high.
Power Management
The cooking zones, which consist of paired cooking
elements, are restricted to drawing a certain
maximum amount of power.
If you turn on the Boost function for one element
while its paired element is in use, the Power
Management function may automatically reduce the
power of both elements. For consistent performance
when using multiple elements, use elements in
separate cooking zones.
Warming Zone
Use the Warming Zone, located in the back right of
the glass surface, to keep hot, cooked food at
serving temperature. The Warming Zone keeps food
warm after it has already been cooked. Attempting
to cook uncooked or cold food on the Warming Zone
could result in a food-borne illness.
Turning On Warming Zone
1. Push the control knob in.
2. Turn the knob in either direction to select the
desired setting.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Remember that induction surface cooking initially
heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.
FOOD POISON HAZARD: Bacteria may grow in
food at temperatures below 140 °F.
• Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm
setting to heat cold food.
• Do not use the warm setting for more than two
hours.
