20 SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Setting induction cooking zones Suggested induction cooking zone settings Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. The suggested settings found in Table 1 below are based on cooking with medium-weight stainless steel pans with lids. Settings may vary when using other types of pans. Figure 12: Induction cooking zone control To operate an induction cooking zone: 1. Turn the cooktop on by pressing the Power key. 2. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking zone. The Power Level Indicator for the cooking zone will show "--". 3. Press the On-Off key for the active cooking zone. The Power Level Indicator for the cooking zone will show "0". 4. Set the cooking zone to the desired level (refer to Table 1) by pressing + or - until the desired cooking level is shown. 5. When cooking is complete, turn the induction cooking zone OFF by pressing its On-Off key or the Power key before removing the cookware. If all of the zones are off, the cooktop will automatically power off in 30 seconds. At any time, you can change the setting for an active cook zone by setting the number to the new setting.

Cookware will heat very quickly and may be damaged or warped if left on the cooking zone empty. NOTE A cooking zone will not become active without proper cookware in position. See "Pan Sensing" on page 15. If the cooktop does not detect cookware within 30 seconds, it will turn off. NOTE: • The size and type of the cookware used and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. • The cooktop will remain on Power Boil for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the high (9) setting. • The Hot Surface indicator (H) will show in the setting indicator when heat is detected in a cook zone that has been turned off. The indicator will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently.
