hot due to contact with hot cookware. The Hot
Surface Indicator will come on and remain visible
until the cooking zone cools to a safe temperature

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. Pothold-
ers, 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.
Before Setting Surface controlS
Moving cookware on a Smooth cooktop
It's best to lift cookware before moving it on the
ceramic glass cooktop. Cookware that has a rough
or dirty bottom can mark and scratch the ceramic
glass surface. Always start with clean cookware.

Power Management
Your induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and 5
cooking zones, depending on the model. A gen-
erator may power 1 or 2 cooking zones. If you use
more than one cooking zone on high power at the
same time and they are on the same generator, the
cooktop may need to manage power to the two
cooking zones.
figure 10: Power management
To get the best performance from your cooktop,
start cooking on only one cooking zone. After the
first piece of cookware has reached cooking tem-
perature, then start cooking on the second cooking
zone.
