Timer
The Timer acts as a simple timer and does not turn off the cooking zone. It is not tied to any specific cooking zone. When the set time has passed, the timer sounds an alert. If the cooking zone is turned off during timer operation, the timer will continue to operate.
Press the Timer button and OO flashes in the display.
Use the Power Level button to set the desired amount of time. After 3 seconds, the timer will start.
Timer can be adjusted from 0 to 99 minutes.
If no time is entered for 25 seconds, the timer will turn off.
To cancel the timer setting, press the Timer button.
The Timer function does not automatically turn off the cooktop or cooking zones. Be sure to press the POWER button to turn the cooktop off after cooking.
Automatic Power Level Control
The power level displayed may be different from the actual power level at the high end of the temperature range. To prevent the cooktop from overheating, the power level is controlled automatically.
Power Cycling
It is normal for heating elements to cycle On/Off during use to control output power.
Cookware Compatibility Indicator
The cookware compatibility indicator can be used to determine if a container will heat well on an induction cooking zone.
The compatibility indicator may vary due to conditions such as voltage, cookware size, or cookware temperature. Use cookware with a bottom diameter that is suitable for the size of the cooking zone.
The compatibility indicator may vary depending on the cooking zone.
The cookware compatibility indicator displayed on this product is based on internal manufacturer standards. Environmental conditions may cause inaccurate or variable results. Use the results only as a reference point.
- Using the Compatibility Indicator
Place the cookware on the cooking zone you want to use and set the output level to 9.
Press and hold the corresponding cooking zone button and Control Lock to display the cookware compatibility indicator. The cookware compatibility indicator turns off after 3 seconds.
The higher the indicator, the better the cookware heats up (rated from 0 to 10).
If the indicator is low, check the material, size and shape of the cookware base.
Even if the cookware has an IH mark, if the indicator is low it may not heat properly on this appliance.
If the cookware size does not properly match the element size, the indicator may be low. Try again with a different size element.
Indicator | Compatibility |
|---|---|
0 - 3 | Low |
