SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Operating induction cooking zones Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking. The suggested settings (provided in Fig. 1) may vary slightly depending on the cookware design, quality and amount of food being prepared. Be sure to use quality cookware that is constructed with magnetic base material and meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements. Suggested cooking zone power level settings Settings Type of cooking Power boost (Pb) Use to start heating pans that contain large amounts of food or to bring large pans of water to boil High (8.0-Hi) Start most foods, bring water to a boil, pan broiling Medium high (5.0 - 8.0) Continue a rapid boil, fry, deep fat fry Medium (4.0 - 5.0) Maintain a slow boil, thicken sauces and gravies or steam vegetables Medium low (2.0 - 4.0) Keep foods cooking, poach, stew (3.0 or lower is a simmer setting) Pan preheat recommendations Be aware that induction cooking may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil compared to cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner. Whenever using the cooktop or oven always pay close attention to all food items cooking and remain very attentive until all the cooking processes are complete. IMPORTANT Remember that induction surface cooking will initially heat the cooking utensil very quickly. To operate induction cooking zones: Step 1. Place induction cookware on the desired cooking zone. 2. To activate the cooking zone, push in and turn the control knob in either direction to the desired setting. 3. Adjust the power level by turning the knob. This will decrease or increase the power level. Power levels 9.5 through 1.5 decrease and increase by 0.5 increments. Lo is the lowest power level available. 4. Once cooking is complete, turn the control knob to OFF and remove cookware. Low (Lo - 2.0) Keep warm, melt, simmer Fig. 1 NOTES • The suggested power level settings shown in Fig. 1 are based on cooking with medium sized pans with lids. Be sure to make any further setting adjustments needed for best surface cooking results. • 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. 13
