Induction surface cooking zones 1 P Figure 12: Induction cooking zone control To operate an induction cooking zone: 1. Place correctly sized cookware on the cooking zone. 2. Activate the cooking zone. • If the cooktop is not on, press the Main Power key. • Press the On/Off key for the desired cooking zone. If you just turned the cooktop on, this step can be skipped. 3. Set the cooking zone to the desired level (refer to the "Suggested induction cooking zone settings" in Table 1). • Place your finger on the control and slide until the desired setting is indicated. • Press P to set the zone to Power Boil. • Press 1 to set the zone to its lowest setting. 4. When cooking is complete, turn the induction cooking zone OFF by pressing its On/Off key or the Main Power key before removing the cookware. If all of the zones are off, the cooktop will automatically power off in 20 seconds. IMPORTANT Do not leave empty cookware on an operating cooking zone. Cookware will heat very quickly and may be damaged or warped if left on the cooking zone empty. NOTE The cooktop has a sensor to detect cookware in the cooking zone. The cooking zone will not become active without proper cookware in position. See "Pan Sensing" on page 10. SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Suggested induction cooking zone settings Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking.
