BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Hot Surface Indicator NOTE • The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone by pressing the + key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the High (H) setting. • The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. • The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in a cook zone. The light will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently. Induction Controls When turned on, an induction cooking zone will not get hot. The induction cooking zone creates heat in the cookware, not in the cooktop. Heat is not created unless there is an iron or steel object on the cooking zone. Cooking zone Setting Display The setting display will show the setting for the cook zone. The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in the cooktop and will remain on until the surface has cooled to a safe temperature. Figure 9: Hot surface indicator light CAUTION • Although induction cooking zones do not directly generate heat, they can become hot from contact with hot cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to a safe temperature. • Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrapping on top of the range when it is in use. Heat radiating from cookware could cause these items to melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to hot cookware. • Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire. If these items melt on the cooktop, they will damage the cooktop. Figure 8: Setting displays (left) If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting indicator will flash, and the magnet will not turn on. The indicator will also flash if the cookware in the zone is the wrong size, off-center, or non-magnetic. 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. • NEVER place or straddle a cooking utensil over two different surface cooking areas at the same time. Incorrect use may damage the cooktop. 15
