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 fl ammable 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
fi re 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
fi re. If these items melt on the cooktop, they
will damage the cooktop.
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.

BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS
Power Management
Your induction cooktop has 2 or 3 generators and
4 or 5 cooking zones, depending on the model. A
generator 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 gener-
ator, the cooktop may need to manage power to
the two cooking zones.
Figure 13: Power management, 4 cook zones
Figure 14: Power management, 5 cook zones
To get the best performance from your cooktop,
start cooking on only one cooking zone. After the
fi rst piece of cookware has reached cooking tem-
perature, then start cooking on the second cooking
zone.
