Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce  
the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and  
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil.  
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended. Boilovers  
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or  
a pan that has boiled dry may melt.  
• Protective Liners. Do not use aluminum foil to line  
any part of the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as  
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on  
the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum  
foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire or short  
circuit.  
• Glazed Cooking Utensils. Only certain types of glass,  
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed  
utensils are suitable for range top service without  
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.  
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop  
use.  
• Ventilating hood. The ventilating hood above your  
cooking surface should be cleaned frequently, so the  
grease from cooking vapors does not accumulate on the  
hood or filter.  
WARNING  
Never use your appliance for warming or heating  
the room.  
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR  
THESE UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though  
they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may  
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after  
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable  
materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient  
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and  
areas facing the cooktop.  
• Wear Proper Apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging  
garments should never be worn while using the  
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable  
materials contact hot surfaces.  
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires.  
Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking  
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or  
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.  
• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers.  
If an element is accidentally turned on, the decorative  
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur  
if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done  
to the appliance.  
• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop. If  
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers  
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a  
risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician  
immediately.  
• Clean Cooktop with Caution. If a wet sponge or cloth  
is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to  
avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce harmful  
fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
• Do Not Place Hot Cookware on Cold Cooktop  
Glass. This could cause glass to break.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not attempt to operate the cooktop during a  
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off  
the cooktop. If the cooktop is not turned off and the  
power resumes, the cooktop will not operate and an error  
message will be displayed.  
Use Only Dry Pot holders. Moist or damp pot  
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from  
steam. Do not let the pot holders touch hot surface  
units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of  
a pot holder.  
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers. Buildup  
of pressure may cause the container to burst and  
result in injury.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING  
YOUR COOKTOP  
• Do not slide pan across the cooktop surface. They  
may scratch the cooktop surface.  
• Know which knob controls each surface unit.  
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts  
free of grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan  
ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept  
clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood or  
filter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When  
flaming food under the hood, turn fan on. Refer to hood  
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.  
Use Proper Pan Size. This appliance is equipped with  
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils  
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit.  
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of  
the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result  
in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to  
element will also improve efficiency.  
• Do Not Let Pans Boil Dry. This may cause permanent  
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marking  
that can affect the ceramic-glass cooktop. (This type of  
damage is not covered by your warranty).  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California  
to publish a list of substances known to the state to

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP  
Induction Cooktop Characteristics  
Selecting Surface Cooking Cookware  
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have  
flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface  
of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler  
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to  
follow all the recommendations for using cookware.  
A COOLER COOKTOP- A unique feature of the Induction  
Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface  
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.  
CAUTION  
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned  
ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass  
surfacemaybeHOTfromresidualheattransferred  
from the cookware and burns may occur.  
MAGNETIC DETECTOR- The coil sensor automatically  
detects whether the pan is magnetic and eliminates ac-  
cidental “turn-On.”  
PAN SIZE DETECTION- The pan recognition sensor au-  
tomatically detects and adapts the Cooking Zones to the  
pan sizes in use.  
Figure 2  
EFFICIENT- Induction cooking heats faster while using  
less energy. Induction power levels are quick to boil and  
when simmering.  
Also remember to:  
• Use cookware made with the correct material type for  
Induction Cooking.  
• Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat  
distribution allowing for more even cooking results.  
• The pan size should match the amount of food being  
prepared.  
• Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent  
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that  
can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is  
not covered by your warranty).  
Use the Correct Cookware Type  
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the  
cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with  
magnetic material in order to start the heating process on  
any of the Cooking Zones.  
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically  
identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction  
cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether  
the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the  
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for  
Induction cooking (See Fig. 1).  
• Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use  
pans that are easy to clean after cooking.  
CAUTION  
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while  
turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The  
glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred  
from the cookware and burns may occur.  
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.  
Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of  
the ceramic cooktop.  
Fig. 1  
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly  
with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to  
protect hands from burns.  
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality  
stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop  
surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing  
scratches on the ceramic surface.  
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the  
recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic  
surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or pad. This will  
make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special  
cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the  
glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.  
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface,  
especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop  
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type  
of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the  
overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup  
of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and  
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP  
Cookware Recommendations  
Be sure to follow the following recommendations for  
using cookware as shown:  
Use the Correct Cookware Size  
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop  
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.  
The inner “X” of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the  
correct MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY  
cover the inner “X” for proper cooking to occur.  
INCORRECT  
CORRECT  
The thicker outer lines “+” at each Cooking Zone is helpful  
to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the  
cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does  
not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the  
Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the  
glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the  
metal cooktop trims.  
NOTE  
• Cookware centered cor-  
rectly on Cooking Zone  
surface.  
• Cookware not centered on  
Cooking Zone surface.  
NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2” (13mm) from  
outer Cooking Zone (Induction) “+.  
Max  
• Curved or warped pan  
bottoms or sides.  
• Flat pan bottom & straight  
sides.  
Min  
• Pan does not meet the  
minimum size required for  
the Cooking Zone used.  
• Pan size meets or exceeds  
therecommendedminimum  
size for the Cooking Zone.  
• Pan bottom rests on cook-  
top trim or does not rest  
completely on the cook-  
top surface.  
• Pan rests completely on  
the Cooktop surface.  
NOTE  
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly  
on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL,  
the power level will flash in the in the digital display and  
the pan will not heat.  
• Pan is properly balanced.  
Heavy handle tilts pan.  
Fig. 1  
NOTE  
ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1  
may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic  
cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of  
these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will  
not heat indicated by a flashing power level in the digital  
display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before  
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

Power Sharing  
In order to give you more flexibility, your induction cooktop  
is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of  
induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned  
to power a specific cooking zone (see Figure on next page).  
One or two cooking zones are assigned to each generator.  
To be able to give you access to the highest power ratings,  
the generator will focus its power onto only one cooking  
zone. If you use more than one cooking zone at high power

SETTING COOKTOP CONTROLS  
Power Sharing (continued)  
Operational Noises  
To get the highest power output from your cooking zones,  
cook with only one cookware per heating section. If you  
need to use most of your cooking zones at once, start your  
cooking process on only one cooking zone within the heating  
section and then add your second cookware on the second  
cooking zone when the first one has already reached its  
cooking temperature.  
The electronics generating the induction fields are pretty  
much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power  
level. A soft-sounding cooling fan activates when the unit is  
running multiple cooking zones at once or when a cooking  
zone is set at very high power settings.  
The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is  
not coming from the electronics but from the cookware  
you are using. Here are some causes of this noise:  
Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking  
zone you want to maintain at full power or set the altered  
power to where you want it.  
Most induction-ready cookware are made of several  
layers of materials. An encapsulated steel layer is usually  
used to harness the induction field and transform it into  
heat, which is then transferred to the other materials by  
radiant energy. The induction field will cause the steel  
layer to vibrate against the other materials in which it is  
encapsulated. This is the most common cause of noise  
from the induction process. This buzzing only happens  
at the higher power level settings. Note that high quality  
cookware manufacturers weld this steel layer in place  
which lowers or cancel this noise.  
2 Induction Generators  
30” model  
Light weight cookware may also vibrate. We recommend  
using heavy weight quality cookware.  
Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the  
ceramic glass surface at high power settings.  
The power output of your induction  
cooktop is capable of warping an empty pan. Never use  
the higher power settings on an empty pan. Even the  
highest quality cookware is vulnerable to warping.  
Cooking Zones  
36” model  
Riveted handles on cookware can also cause buzzing  
sounds from the vibrations.  
Solid cast iron and enamelware cookware should not  
emit any noise. Top quality cookware made of several  
layers should also be relatively quiet.

CARE & CLEANING  
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop  
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE SPILLOVERS  
AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE DIFFICULTY AND EXTENT  
OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.  
Surfaces  
Stainless Steel  
How to Clean  
Wipe the control panel clean after each use. Before cleaning the control  
Decorative Trim Cooktop, Control panel, turn all controls to OFF. Clean using hot, soapy water and a cloth. Do not  
Knobs, Control Panel  
use cleaners with high concentrations of chlorides or chlorines. Do not use  
harsh scrubbing cleaners. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the cloth before  
wiping the panel; especially when wiping around the controls. Excess water in or  
around the controls may cause damage to the appliance. Only use kitchen cleaners  
that are especially made for cleaning stainless steel. Always be sure to rinse the  
cleaners from the surface as bluish stains may occur during heating that cannot be  
removed.  
Ceramic Glass  
Cooktop  
See Ceramic Glass Cooktop in this Owner’s Guide.  
Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the  
Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &  
Maintenance  
cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop  
surface. These marks should be removed immediately  
after the cooktop has cooled using the cooktop cleaning  
cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not  
removed prior to future use.  
Consistent and proper cleaning is  
essential to maintaining your Ceramic  
glass cooktop.  
Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough  
bottoms can mark or scratch the cooktop surface. Do  
not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop.  
Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work  
surface in the kitchen. Do not cook foods directly on the  
cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or  
hard objects on the glass cooktop, or they may crack it.  
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the  
recommended CERAMA BRYTE® Cleaning Creme to the  
ceramic surface. Clean and buff with a non abrasive cloth  
or pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from  
cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a  
protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches  
and abrasions.  
13  
CARE & CLEANING  
Plastic or foods with a high sugar content:  
These types of soils need be removed immediately if  
spilled or melted onto the ceramic cooktop surface.  
Permanent damage (such as pitting of the cooktop  
surface) may occur if not removed immediately. After  
turning the surface elements OFF, use a razor blade  
scraper or a metal spatula with a mitt and scrape the soil  
from the hot surface (as illustrated). Allow the cooktop to  
cool, and use the same method for heavy or burned on  
soils.  
Cleaning Recommendations for the  
Ceramic Glass Cooktop  
CAUTION  
Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are  
turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.  
WARNING  
Do not use the following on the ceramic glass  
cooktop:  
DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop.  
The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can  
chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.  
• Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads,  
such as metal and some nylon pads. They may  
scratch the cooktop, making it more difficult to  
clean.  
For light to moderate soil:  
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly  
to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-  
abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the  
entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned  
thoroughly, leaving no residue.  
• Do not use harsh cleaners, such as chlorine  
bleach, ammonia or oven cleaners, as they may  
etch or discolor the cooktop.  
• Do not use dirty sponges, cloths or paper  
towels, as they can leave soil or lint on the  
cooktop which can burn and cause Special  
Caution for Aluminum Foil and Aluminum  
Cooking Utensils  
For heavy, burned on soil:  
Apply a few drops of CookTop® Cleaning Creme directly  
to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-  
abrasive plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure  
as needed. Do not use the pad you use to clean the  
cooktop for any other purpose.  
IMPORTANT  
Damage to the ceramic glass cooktop may occur if you  
use an abrasive type scratch pad. Only use cleaning  
products that have been specifically designed for  
ceramic glass cooktop.  
If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor  
blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the  
surface. Remove loosened soils, then apply a few drops  
of cleaning cream and buff surface clean.  
Aluminum foil  
Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not  
use under any circumstances.  
Aluminum utensils  
Since the melting point of aluminum is much lower  
than that of other metals, care must be taken when  
aluminum pots or pans are used. Pans that boil dry  
may permanently damage cooktop by breaking, fusing  
to, or marking it.  
Care and Cleaning of Stainless Steel  
Some models are equipped with stainless steel exterior  
parts. Special care and cleaning are required for  
maintaining the appearance of stainless parts. Refer  
to the General Care & Cleaning table for detailed  
cleaning instructions.
