BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Cooking with the induction cooktop
Preliminary information

• Each zone of the induction cooktop has its own dedicated display, where the power level and the function symbols are indicated.
• Each zone of the cooktop can be activated by pressing and then turning the relative cooktop knobs.
• Cooktop knobs can only be pressed when they are in the OFF position (zone deactivated).
• Once a zone has been activated (knob not in the OFF position), simply turn the relative knob to change the power level or to deactivate the zone.

IMPORTANT
To avoid damaging the appliance, do not force the knobs to turn if you have not pressed them first.

What is Electromagnetic induction?
Induction cooking uses electromagnets to create heat in compatible cookware.
Below each cooking zone on an induction cooktop, there is a copper coil. When the cooking zone is turned on, the electricity turns the coil into a type of magnet that heats metal cookware in the cooking zone.

Induction features
Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the cooktop, induction offers several advantages.

• Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on a conventional electric cooktop. Pay close attention to avoid scorching food when starting to cook. You may need to use a lower setting for cooking food than you are used to.
• Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware will change immediately when you change the setting of the cooking zone.
• Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more evenly on an induction cooktop, so you are less likely to have hot or cool spots in the cookware.
• Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be cooler when you remove the cookware than a conventional electric cooktop would be. Because the cooktop doesn’t get as hot, you are not as likely to get burned. Spills are also less likely to cook onto the surface, making clean-up easier.
• Energy Efficiency: Induction cooking wastes less energy than a conventional cooktop, so it uses less electricity.

CAUTION
Although induction cooking zones do not produce 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.

Sounds
The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or humming noise. These sounds are not unusual, especially at high settings.Cookware that is not perfectly flat on the bottom may vibrate slightly against the cooktop.A loose handle may vibrate in its socket.Multi-material cookware may allow small vibrations in its structure.
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher quality cookware.
An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking sounds from the electronic switches that maintain the desired cooking temperature. You may also hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the cooktop.

NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.

Use the correct cookware type

IMPORTANT

• Each cooking zone is fitted with a magnetic sensor that distinguishes between suitable and unsuitable cookware.
• If unsuitable cookware is used, no heat is generated and no cooking will be performed.
• The alternating symbols and appear
  when improper cookware is used, with missing pan or when you remove the pan during cooking.

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.
Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom suitable for induction cooking. The use of cookware with an irregular bottom could affect the efficiency of the heating system and even prevent the pan from being detected on the cooking zone.Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Cookware should have fl at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the heating element.

CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of cookware is left on an operating induction cooking zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp or damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel. The heat may damage the electronic parts.

Cookware material types
Cookware material is especially important when using an induction cooktop. The cookware must contain magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction cook-top. Common materials for induction cookware include the following:

• Stainless Steel – Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean, and resists staining. Some types of stainless steel will not work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet test to check stainless steel cookware.
• Cast Iron – A slow heat conductor that retains heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal – Heating characteristics will vary depending on the base material. Porcelain enamel on a compatible metal will work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet test to check porcelain-enamel cookware.

Cookware sold as induction-ready will often have a symbol printed on the bottom by the manufacturer.

The magnet test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, the cookware will work on your induction cooktop. If the magnet clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not heat up on your induction cooktop.

USING THE COOKTOP

Minimum pan size requirements
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE – The cooking zones available on the Induction cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each loca-tion. We recommend using cookware with a diameter that allows efficient cooking.
Below is a summary table showing the recommended diameter of the cookware for each cooking zone.

Example of correct pan arrangement on cooking zones 1 – 2 – 4 – 5:* In the (3) case, the measurement refers to the length of a an elongated pan. For the width of this pan keep a maximum of 200 mm – 7” 7/8.

First power on
When the range is first plugged in, or when the power supply has been interrupted, all the symbols on the cooktop display light up for one second.

Cooktop power management
The cooktop is equipped with a power management module which optimizes or limits energy consumption.
If the total power levels set exceed the maximum allowed limit, the electronic board automatically man-ages the power supplied to the cooking zones.
The levels set by the automatic management system are shown on the display.
A flashing a power level icon indicates that it will be automatically limited to a new value selected by the power management module.

IMPORTANT
Priority is given to the last set zone.

Cooktop operation time limitation
The cooktop is equipped with an automatic device that limits its duration of use.
If you do not change the cooking zone settings, the maximum operating duration of each individual zone depends on the power level selected.
When the device for limiting the operating time is activated, the cooking zone switches off, a short signal is emitted and if hot the symbol appears on the display.

CAUTION
Protection from overheating

• If the cooktop is used at full power for a long period of time, the internal electronics may have difficulty cooling if the room temperature is high.
• To prevent excessively high temperatures from forming inside the cooktop, the power of the cooking zone is automatically lowered.

Switching on the cooking zones

To switch on a cooking zone, press and then turn the corresponding knob clockwise. A short beep will be emitted.
The corresponding display shows the selected power level, “ON” appears below the central cooking zone display and all the other cooking zone displays briefly display “0” and then go off. (the example shows the front left cooking zone at level 3).Turning off the cooking zones
To switch off a cooking zone, simply turn the corresponding knob to “OFF”. All the cooking zone displays show flashing red dots at their lower right corner and the word “ON” below the central cooking zone display for 10 seconds.

Induction cooktop residual heat

After the cooking zones have been switching off, if they are still hot the corresponding displays shows the flashing symbol . When the temperature drops
below the safety threshold, the symbol disappears.

Power levels
The power of the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. Information on the different types of cooking can be found in the table. All power levels are available for all cooking zones.

Boost mode

IMPORTANT
After 10 minutes of operation in Boost mode, the cooktop automatically brings the power to level 9.

A Booster function allows you to activate the cooking zone on the maximum power for up to 10 minutes. Use-ful for bringing a large quantity of water quickly to the boil or cooking meat over high heat.

To activate the Heating accelerator function (the example shows the front left cooking zone at level 3):

1. Press and hold a cooktop knob.
2. Keep the knob pressed and turn it
   counterclockwise to position until the symbol appears on the corresponding cooking zone display (a beep will be emitted).
3. Keep the knob pressed and select the required power level within 3 seconds. The corresponding cooking zone display will show and the selected power level number alternating.

IMPORTANT
Once the selected power level is reached, the Heat-ing accelerator function will be deactivated (the symbol will disappear) and the power level will remain the selected one.

You can increase the power level at any time. The “acceleration” time frame will be modified automatically.
To deactivate the Heating acceleration function, simply bring the knob to the OFF position or select a lower power level.

Bridge function

IMPORTANT

• This function is only available for pairs of front and rear zones (1 – 2 and 4 – 5). All the other zone combinations are not allowed.
• With the bridge function activated, is it not possible to activate Boost mode.

The bridge function allows you to control two cooking zones simultaneously. This function is useful when cooking with oblong cookware such as roasting pans or fish kettles, or when cooking with two pans at the same time.
To activate the Bridge function:

1. Press and hold turn the front/rear left or right knobs counterclockwise to the positions (a short beep will be emitted):
2.  Release the knobs.
3. Press and turn the rear left or the front right cooking zone knobs until you reach power level 9 (a long beep will be emitted).
   Now both cooking zone displays shows level 0 and flashing red dots appear on all displays. The Bridge function is now activated.
4. You can control both the linked zones using the front left or rear right cooking zone knobs.

To deactivate the Bridge function, bring both knobs to the OFF position.

NOTE
