SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. Size, shape, and construction
are all factors for suitable cookware.
1.
Suitable Cookware: the base of the cookware must be made of ferrous magnetic materials
including cast iron, carbon steel, magnetic stainless steel or cast aluminum with an induction
rated base.
2.
Unsuitable Cookware: will cause an E0 error and the cooktop will not operate.
3.
In general, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on your induction
cooktop. A magnet is included for you to use to test your cookware.
4.
If proper cookware is not available we offer an Induction Interface Disk (#6010) that will provide
the necessary connectivity between the induction cooktop and your non-suitable cookware. It is
normal for reduced efficiency when using the Interface Disk.
NOTE:
Different types of cookware and sizes will result in varying wattage/heat efficiency. For maximum
efficiency, do not use cookware with a base larger than 14” or a combined weight over 60 lbs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, please see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Start-Up
1.
Select cookware according to the instructions above.
2.
Place the unit on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from other objects to allow proper
ventilation.
3.
Plug the power cord into a dedicated 120V/15A electrical socket. For optimum performance,
use only one appliance per outlet. A red LED above ON/OFF will appear indicating the cooktop is
ready to use.
4.
Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the cookware and place it on the
glass plate centered over the COOKWARE PLACEMENT GUIDES.
5.
Touch the ON/OFF symbol to turn the unit on. The LCD DISPLAY will illuminate and the default
PL1 will show in the window. The cooling fan will turn on.
NOTE:
It is normal for the cooling fan to operate for up to 2 minutes after the unit has powered off.
