COOKTOP FEATURES Read these instructions carefully before using the cooktop CAUTION The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.

INDUCTION ELEMENT CHARACTERISTICS (RIGHT FRONT AND REAR ELEMENTS) A COOLER COOKTOP- A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops. 1. 2. 3. 4.
BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop The ceramic cooktop has inductors and radiant surface elements located below the surface of the glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figs. 1 to 4). Only flat-bottom cookware should be used.
SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC) The Electronic Surface Element Control (“ESEC”) includes digital display windows. The ESEC provides a numeric digital setting for the surface element positions on the cooktop. These settings work the same way as normal knob setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in digital windows (Figs. 1 thru 8). The available ESEC Display Settings The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2) to Lo (Fig.
SETTING RADIANT SURFACE CONTROLS Operating the Single Surface Radiant Elements The cooktop has 1 or 2 SINGLE radiant surface elements: the LEFT REAR position and the center rear position (on the 36” model only). The left rear element may also be used with the Bridge element (Figures 1 and 2). To Operate the Single Radiant Surface Elements 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 3). 3.
SETTING RADIANT SURFACE CONTROLS Operating the Bridge Surface Radiant Element The cooktop is equipped with a “BRIDGE” surface element located at the left front and middle (See Figures 1 & 2) positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware. The element will maintain an even temperature setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a single element without the Bridge (See Figure 5).
SETTING INDUCTION SURFACE CONTROLS Operating the Induction Surface Elements The cooktop is equipped with 2 induction surface elements: the RIGHT FRONT and REAR positions (Figure 1 and 2). To Operate the Induction Surface Elements 1. Place the correctly sized cookware of the proper material on the induction surface element. 2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting (Figure 3). Note: Turning the knob to Hi from Off will activate the Power Boost feature.
INDUCTION SURFACE COOKING Use the Correct Cookware Type Use the Correct Cookware Size For the induction zones, the magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones. The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size.
INDUCTION SURFACE COOKING Cookware Recommendations Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware Be sure to follow the following recommendations for using cookware as shown: The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.
