Use and Care Manual

25OPERATION
ENGLISH
• Don't overcrowd cookware. To avoid slow cooking times and poor results, use cookware that is
appropriately sized for the amount of food you are cooking.
• When boiling water on the center element, a 10" (36-inch cooktop) or 9" (30-inch cooktop) diameter pot
gives the best performance and saves the most time.
• Use the Boost setting to quickly boil water, or whenever you need extra heating power in one element.
• To prevent damage to the product, the cooking zones are separated into two groups, and you can only
use the Boost function on one cooking zone in each group at once. As shown, you can use Boost on a
cooking zone in group 1 and a cooking zone in group 2 at the same time. If you try to use Boost on two
cooking zones in the same group, the selected cooking zone displays a flashing
b and G and the power
level is automatically set to 9 rather than Boost.
