IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or those with long sleeves should never be worn  
while cooking.  
2. DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKING UTENSILES OR THE IMMEDIATE AREA THAT WAS  
UNDER THE COOKING UTENSLE. These areas may be hot. The glass surface heats because it  
is in contact with the hot cooking vessel.  
3. Use dry potholders only. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.  
Do not use towels or cloths in place of potholders.  
4. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Always use utensils  
that have flat bottoms. Use utensils that best match the surface unit size (smaller utensils on  
smaller surface units) - and are a minimum of 4-inches in diameter.  
5. UTENSIL HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER  
ADJACENT SURFACE UNITS OR COUNTERS. To reduce the risk of INJURY, and spillage  
due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that  
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units or counter edges.  
6. Never leave the cooktop unattended when heating elements are turned on. Boil over causes  
smoking and greasy spillovers that may cause injury.  
7. Use high heat setting only when necessary, and never when not monitoring the utensil. Use low to  
medium settings to heat oil slowly.  
8. Hold the handle of the utensil to prevent movement when stirring or turning food.  
9. Do not use utensils that do not attract and hold a magnet and never use a steel plate or griddle to  
heat a nonmagnetic utensil, which can cause INJURY or DAMAGE to the cooktop elements and  
controls.  
10. Clean the cooktop with caution. If soil must be removed while the cooktop is hot, clean the hot  
top with a plastic spatula and then wipe with a dry cloth. DO NOT USE WET CLOTH OR  
SPONGE WHILE THE COOKTOP IS HOT since steam can be generated if the cloth or sponge  
is held in place on the hot spot. Some cleaners may produce noxious fumes if applied to hot  
surfaces.  
CAUTION The cooktop is for cooking. Never use it to warm or heat a room.  
Be sure your cooktop is properly installed and grounded by a qualified service installer in  
accordance with local codes and the installation instructions provided with the cooktop.  
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the use  
and care instructions. All servicing should be done by a qualified service technician.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP FOR THE FIRST TIME:  
Be sure all packing materials, labels or tape are removed from the cooktop surface.  
Wipe with a clean, damp sponge and dry.  
Apply a Glass Ceramic Cleaning Crème. Buff with a clean cloth. (See CARE AND  
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS for glass top.)  
Precautions to observe to preserve the cooktop appearance.  
Regular use of the Cooktop Cleaning Crème on the glass surface will protect the surface  
and make it easier to remove food soil and water spots.  
The glass surface is resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other object is  
dropped on it with sufficient force.  
Do not use aluminum foil directly on the glass, it can melt and damage the glass.  
Do not allow plastic to come in contact with a hot glass surface. They can melt or burn  
and damage the glass surface.  
Do not allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan, element and/or the cooktop.  
Do not use the glass surface as a cutting board.  
Do not slide utensils across cooking surface. This may cause scratching. Utensils with  
rough surfaces should be avoided since they can scratch the glass surface.  
Do not use griddle plates that bridge two or more elements (cooking zones). This can  
damage the cooktop elements.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Controls  
See Fig 1 for control locations and operation description. Each element has a control key-  
pad array that is designated for use with it.. The key-pads are activated by placing your finger-  
tip onto the pad area.  
Note that pressing with high force is not necessary pads are not pressure sensitive. The pad  
is activated by your finger interrupting a localized electrical field.  
NOTE: Spills or cleaning solutions on the control pads can cause unwanted control operation.  
Simply dry the area with a clean cloth and reset the control to correct.  
TURNING ELEMENTS ON  
- Place pan on element selected, center for best operation.  
- Locate Turn-Onpower pad operating the element selected and touch with finger. The  
power light will turn on and the control power setting indicator will start blinking.  
NOTE: If a power level is not selected, the power setting indicator will turn off after  
approximately 30 seconds.  
- Select the desired power level by using the Quick-Selectpads (Hi-Med-Lo) or using the  
Increase/Decreasepads. The power level selected will display in the power setting  
Indicator window.  
- You can change the power level setting at any time during the cooking process. - SEE Fig-2  
FOR RECOMMENDED POWER SETTING LEVELS.  
TURNING ELEMENTS OFF  
- Turn off power by touching the Turn-Onpower pad. The power setting indicator window  
will turn dark.  
- OR simply remove the pan and the control will automatically shut off in 30 seconds.  
CAUTION: If a pan is placed on the element before 30 seconds has elapsed the element  
will turn back on.  
Note: If a pan is not placed on the element when theTurn-Onpad is touched the power  
setting selected will be rejected and the power turned off. in 30-seconds.  
Practice and experience will ultimately determine the heat settings most appropriate for you.  
There will be some variation in the efficiency of the pots being used all brands will not  
behave in exactly the same way. Don’t be afraid to experiment and get your own comfort  
level for using the cooktop. Once you experience the versatility, control and speed the  
induction cooktop offers, you will never want to go back to conventional gas or electric  
cooking.  
You may want to make notations in your cooking references when you determine a setting  
most appropriate for a particular food item. There is a blank table at the back of this manual to  
note special food/power level settings.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Temperature Limiters  
All heating elements are equipped with a temperature limiter, for safety reasons. The limiter will  
cycle the heating element, regardless of the control setting. This is normal and should not be cause for  
alarm. But, the following may cause the cycling to be more frequent.  
The bottom of the cooking utensil is not flat or is convex or concave.  
The utensil/pan is too small in diameter for the element being used or the pan is not  
reasonably centered.  
Material of utensil/pan is poor heat conductor.  
Utensil/pan is empty, ingredients have boiled away.  
There is no utensil/pan on the element.

Cookware  
The type of cookware used will affect performance. Pans must be magnetic.  
Flat bottoms utensils/pans with flat bottoms are best. Concave or convex bottoms will cause  
uneven and slower heating. If pans are not stable (wobble), before or after heating, they will result in  
slower and uneven cooking. Vibrations/buzzing can also be caused by the pans condition.  
Size Always try to center the pan on the element. Use smaller elements for smaller pans.  
Covers a cover or lid will reduce cooking times and prevent splashing.  
Griddle Plates Do not use griddle plates that cover more than one cooking zone.

CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
Special Cleaning Methods  
The following applies to the glass surface only:  
Sugar, syrup, tomato spills-REMOVEIMMEDIATELY/WHILE SURFACE IS HOT USE  
PLASTIC SPATULA OR RAZOR BLADE SCRAPER ONLY-  
USE DRY TOWELS OR SPONGES. WET TOWELS/SPONGES

Remove utensil/pan from surface and turn control off. Angle scraper  
slightly and push spill or residue off the heated surface. Don’t  
scratch or gouge (Fig 3). Let surface cool and remove residue,  
apply Cleaning Crème.  
This is the only clean up that is done with a hot surface!  
Burned on food Soften using a moist cloth or paper towel over the soil for 20 to 30 minutes.

Metal marks Utensils/pans will occasionally leave marks. If Cleaning Crème does not remove  
marks use mild cleanser (i.e.: Bon Ami) to remove. Rinse and dry surface and  
apply Cleaning Crème. Magnetic stainless steel and porcelain coated steel/iron  
pans are best. Uncoated cast iron pans can cause marking of the glass –
