16 Setting Surface Controls Preheat recommendations When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch carefully. Whenever using the cooktop the user should always pay attention to any items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete. Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat the desired pan. Power sharing Figure 1 - 30" Cooktop If you are cooking in both zones of a heating section, the last zone that began to heat will cook at the power setting you selected. The other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power setting if both zones are set high enough. The 30" cooktop is equipped with four cooking zones within two heating sections: right and left. Each section is powered by one induction inverter. The two cooking zones in the right and left section (see figure 1) share the power of one inverter. The 36" cooktop is equipped with five cooking zones within three heating sections: right, left and center. Each section is powered by one induction inverter. The two cooking zones in the right and center section (see figure 2) share the power of one inverter. The front left cooking zone double element has its own inverter. POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking zone you want to maintain at full setting heat. To maintain full setting heat for two items, place one item on a zone in one section, and the other item on a zone in another section. Figure 2 - 36" Cooktop
