The Recommended Surface Cooking
Setting
Start most surface cooking on a higher setting and
then adjust to a lower setting to finish cooking.
The suggested settings may need adjustments,
depending on cookware design and quality and on
the amount of food being prepared.
Use quality cookware that is constructed with a
magnetic base material and that meets the minimum
and maximum pan size requirements.

Pan Preheat Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of time
required to preheat cookware compared to cooking
on a radiant element cooktop or gas surface burner.
Pay close attention to all food items while cooking
on the cooktop or in the oven, and until all cooking
processes are complete.
CAUTION
Remember that induction surface cooking initially
heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.
Noises during Induction Operation
The electronic processes involved with induction
cooking may create some background noises. You
may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on
the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction
cooking process and are considered normal.
Some cookware will buzz, depending on the
construction or base material. The buzz may be more
noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold. As the
pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The noise will
also decrease if the power level setting is reduced.
NOTE
%
When using the induction cooktop, operational
noises are more noticeable while cooking in
Boost mode. But very loud noises are not
normal when induction cooking.
%
The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the
temperature of the product, even when the
surface elements are not being used.
Power Management
The induction cooktop contains paired cooking
elements, which are restricted to drawing a certain
maximum amount of power.
If you turn on the Boost function for one element while
its paired element is in use, the Power Management
function may automatically reduce the power of both
elements.
NOTE
%
If the combined heat of the oven and the
surface burners is sufficiently high, the output
of the induction cooktop is reduced to avoid
damage to the product.
%
Both elements in induction cooktop cannot use
the Boost mode at the same time.
