induction cooktoP eLeMents
Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface
heating unit.
Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit off before removing the pan.
Use proper pan sizes -
This appliance is equipped with surface units of
different sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or
pan to the burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements -
To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are
turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed Cookware -
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings -
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.
When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop.
The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Always turn the surface units off before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop
surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Do not lift the cooktop.
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware.
