11. Never leave the surface area unattended at high heat setting.  
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers, which may ignite.  
12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and  
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of  
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned toward the  
center of the range so that it does not extend over adjacent  
surface elements.  
13. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and  
other flammable liquids. Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.)  
may ignite and metallic items may become hot and cause burns.  
14. Do not heat unopened food containers; build-up of pressure may  
cause the container to explode and result in injury.  
Suitable and Unsuitable Pots and Pans For  
Induction Elements  
Suitable Pots and Pans (Induction Elements)  
•All pots and pans must have a magnetic bottom.  
•All pots and pans must have a flat bottom.  
•All pots and pans should have a diameter between 5” (for small  
burners) and 12” (for larger burners).  
•Stainless steel with magnetic bottom  
•Porcelain coated steel  
•Cast Iron  
15. Clean the cooktop with caution. After the cooktop has cooled  
down, wipe with damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning  
solution. Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to  
a hot surface.  
NOTE: Check cookware with magnet. If magnet adheres to the  
bottom of the surface, it is suitable for induction cooking  
16. Do not cook on a cooktop with broken glass. Spillovers or  
cleaning solution may penetrate a broken glass top and create a  
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately  
should your cooktop glass become broken.  
Unsuitable Pots and Pans (Induction Elements)  
•Stainless steel pans with aluminum bottom  
•Pottery  
•Glass pans  
•Aluminum pans  
•Bronze pans  
-SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS-  
•Copper pots  
•Pans with feet  
Cooking Utensils For Radiant Elements  
Each cook has his or her own preference for the particular cooking  
utensils that are most appropriate for the type of cooking being done.  
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or  
other glazed utensils are suitable for glass cooktop use without  
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. This is a matter of  
personal choice. As with any cookware, yours should be in good  
condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide  
maximum performance and convenience.  
Before You Use Your New Cooktop  
All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any  
visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have remained from the  
manufacturing process  
Glass Cooktop  
Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A thorough  
cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended. It only takes a  
minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the glass top before its initial  
use.  
CAUTION  
Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop with radiant elements  
is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat when used on radiant  
NOT  
elements and may result in cooktop damage. This caution does  
apply when using cast iron over the induction elements.

Cooking Substitute Charts  
Saftey Devices  
In many cases, a recipe requires an ingredient which is not readily  
available or calls for a unit of measure that is not easily recognized.  
The following charts have been provided as useful guides in these  
situations.  
Automatic Safety Shut-off  
If the induction cooktop is left on for more than 60 seconds without a  
pan or with an unsuitable pan, the unit will automatically shut-off.

1 Tbsp. cornstarch  
Use:  
2 Tbsp. flour (thickening)  
Small Object Detector  
1 whole egg  
2 egg yolks plus 1 Tbsp. water  
The induction cooktop will not recognize any object or utensil smaller

interference in a residential installation. This unit generates, uses and  
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to  
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that  
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this unit does  
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can  
be determined by turning the unit off and on, the user is encouraged  
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
1 oz. unsweet chocolate  
1 Tbsp. baking powder  
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder plus 1 Tbsp.  
margarine
