Setting Surface Controls

Operating the cooking zones

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while 
turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. 
The glass surface may be HOT from residual 
heat transferred from the cookware and burns 
may occur.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS 
directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or 
pot holders to protect hands from burns. 

The Induction cooktop has four or fi ve Cooking Zones 
designed for cookware of various sizes. Be sure to 
place cookware that meets the minimum and maximum 
pan size requirements for the Cooking Zone desired 
and is best for the amount of food being prepared. 
Place the cookware with the prepared food on the 
Cooking Zone 

BEFORE

 setting any of the Cooktop 

controls.

To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:

1. Place the prepared food using the correct type 

and size cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. 
Be sure to center the cookware on Cooking Zone 
completely covering the minimum area marked on 
the Zone surface. PLEASE NOTE: If the cookware 
requirements for the Cooking Zone (pan wise) are 
not met the sensors will detect a problem and the 
LEDs around the digital part of the display will 
start rotating around the affected Cooking Zone 
Display. Any problems must be corrected before 
proceeding.

2.  Touch and hold the 

POWER

 key pad for 1/2 seconds 

(or until a beep sounds). The Power LED located 
above the 

POWER

 key pad will turn ON. 

NOTE:

 

If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds 
the request to Power ON the cooktop will clear.

3. To start one or more of the Cooking Zones, lightly 

touch the 

ON/OFF

 key pad for the Cooking Zones 

needed. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking 
Zone will show a dim ring of light indicating no 
power level for the Zone has been set yet. 

NOTE:

 

If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds 
the request to Power ON the Cooktop Zone will 
clear.

4. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone 

by using one of the three methods explained on 
page 13. If the “

Power Boost

” maximum power 

level is needed, once you power up the Cooking 
Zone, touch the "+" pad and "

Power Boost

" will 

be displayed in the Cooking Zone Display.

NOTE:

 Once the Cooking Zone power level has been 

set the food will begin to heat at that level until the 
power level is manually changed except for Power 
Boost which will reduce to HI after a specifi c amount 
of time. For more information about the available 
Cooktop Zones power levels available see “Power 
Levels” section on page 10.

To Turn OFF the Cooking Zones:

1. Once cooking is complete, touch the 

ON/OFF

 key 

pad to turn the Cooking Zone OFF.

2. A beep will sound and the chosen Cooking Zone 

power level display will turn off. If no other Cooking 
Zones are active and no other key pads are touched 
the entire cooktop will shut OFF automatically in 
10 more seconds.

3.  When any Cooking Zone is OFF, the corresponding 

Cooking Zone display may display 

hot surface

 if 

the Cooking Zone temperature is too HOT. The 
cooking zone display will continue to display 

hot 

surface 

even if the Cooktop is switched OFF. The 

cooking zone controls will continue to display 

hot 

surface 

as long as the cooktop remains HOT.

IMPORTANT OPERATING NOTES:

    Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area 

of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an 
error code and turn OFF while cooking. Clean the 
spills or remove the objects from the cooktop.

   Be sure the cooktop vent openings are NOT 

blocked. If the vent openings are blocked, the 
cooktop internal sensor may shut OFF the cooktop 
to avoid overheating the appliance.

•   If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of 

any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor 
will detect the situation and the cookware will no 
longer heat. The affected Cooking Zone display 
will rotate the LEDs surrounding the digital display 
indicating a pan is not detected. The Cooking Zone 
will remember the power level setting for up to 3 
minutes before the Cooking Zone will automatically 
shut OFF.
