- A unique feature of the Induction
Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface
remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be
cool while turned ON and after they have been turned
OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat
transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
- The coil sensor automatically
detects if a pan is magnetic; if it is not, the Cooking Zone will
not activate.
- The pan detection sensor automatically
adapts the size of Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.
- Induction cooking heats faster while using less
energy. Induction power boils more quickly and simmers
more evenly.
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 specically
identied 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 (Fig. 5).
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.
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 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 dicult and
degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
Before Using the Cooktop
Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have
at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
of the Cooking Zone. Check for atness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6). Be sure
to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as
shown on pages 6 & 7.
Use cookware made with the correct material type for
Induction Cooking (Fig. 5).
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.
This may cause permanent
damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that
can aect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is
not covered by your warranty).
Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use
pans that are easy to clean after cooking.
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool
while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF.
But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat
transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
Always use oven mitts or pot
holders to protect hands from burns.
cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the
appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
Prior to using your cooktop for the rst time, apply the
recommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit www.
sears.com for replacement cleaner, item number 40079) to the
ceramic surface. Bu with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch
cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from
cooking. The special cooktop cleaning creme leaves a protective
nish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.
