Installation, Operation and Care of MODEL VI2, VI3, VI22, VI33, VI23 INDUCTION COOKTOPS PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE GENERAL The induction cooktop will not heat the way a resistance heater conducts heat to the pan. A magnetic induction coil is underneath the ceramic top. This coil creates a magnetic field (Fig. 1) that requires a pan to complete the magnetic loop. If the pan is not present, the cooktop stays in a "cool" ready state without using much current.
INSTALLATION Before installing, verify that the electrical supply agrees with the specifications on the data plate located on the bottom of the cooktop. UNPACKING Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage, if the cooktop is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact your carrier within 15 days of delivery. CLEARANCE AND LOCATION INFORMATION All models require unrestricted air ventilation for proper operation of the controls.
EXHAUST HOOD An exhaust system (if required) should be located directly above the cooktop to exhaust steam and heat generated during cooking. Refer to NFPA standard #96. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.
OPERATION WARNING: THE COOKTOP AND ITS PARTS ARE HOT. BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR SERVICING THE COOKTOP.

USING THE INDUCTION COOKTOPS 1.
RECOMMENDED PANS (Fig. 3) This appliance is intended for use with magnetic induction cookware only. Pans made of cast iron, enameled iron, or stainless steel with an iron inner layer are recommended. Stainless steel pans with 8-10, 18-8, 18-10, and 18-Cr material specification are acceptable if a magnet will attach itself to the pan and if the shape of the pan is acceptable. Pans with a flat bottom 5" to 101⁄2" (127 to 266.7mm) in diameter are recommended.
UNUSABLE PANS (Fig.'s 4 & 5) • Pans with a smaller bottom diameter or partially contacting bottom are not recommended because heat will not transfer properly through the induction magnetic loop which may damage the induction cooktop.

The cooktop is equipped with an air filter to filter grease and dirt and provide proper ventilation. Clean the air filter once a month. If used in high volume, clean more than once a month. The indicator light may be an indication that the filter needs cleaning (see Troubleshooting Guide below). Snap out air filter located on the bottom of the cooktop and wash it in a sink in a solution of soap and water. Rinse the filter thoroughly and replace the filter when it is completely dry.
