Rear and Front Elements

Push in and turn the control knob
counterclockwise to the desired setting. The
element will adjust the power output to maintain
the desired heat setting. The left front burner has
a “Boost” feature. A boost of power is provided
for 10 minutes and is used for quickly boiling
water when the element is turned to HI. When
finished boiling, turn the control knob to Med HI to maintain the boil or
to a lower setting for steaming, warming, and simmering sauces.

Note: 

Viking induction cooking uses high powered induction elements

for faster cooking performance. Some noise may be noticed by the
high powered induction elements. This is normal.

Surface Indicator Lights

The surface indicator lights are located at the front
of the glass cooktop. The
indicator lights are used to
indicate activation, hot surface,
and warnings.

Note:

If the indicator lights have a 2 to 3 second pause in between

flashes, refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.

Indicator Light

Reason

Solid

The element is ON and sensing the proper
cookware.

Slow continuous flash 
without a pause

1. Element is OFF - hot surface.
2. Element is ON - cookware is not present or 

cookware is not induction cookware. (See 
recommended cookware in “Before Using 
Cooktop” section.)

Fast continuous flash 
without a pause

The element is ON - surface temperature is very 
hot. The power level is regulated to a lower 
temperature setting as the internal temperature 
inside the cooktop has increased due to 
extended use.

WARNING

DANGER

CAUTION

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware

can absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in

possible damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.

Note: 

The above information is given as a guide only. You may need

to vary the heat settings to suit your personal requirements.

Surface Cooking Tips

• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm). 

Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not
recommended.

• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element

chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and
larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

Note: 

If 

ALL

elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the

internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop
to turn off.

Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous and boiling time is
decreased when using the proper induction cookware.
