BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Induction Cooking 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. Cook Zone Setting Display 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. The Setting Display will show the setting for the cook zone. • 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 9: Setting displays (left) If there is no cookware in the cook zone, the setting indicator will blink, and the magnet will not turn on. Hot Surface Indicator 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. 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. Figure 10: Hot surface indicator light 15
