Using the Cooktop

First Operation

When you first connect the electrical supply to the cooktop, the "H" indicator will blink for 60 seconds. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Caution
  • Use caution, if the "H" indicator is displayed, the ceramic-glass surface is hot. Failure to take care may result in burns or injuries. Refer to the Hot Surface Indicator section.

Activating the Cooktop

To turn on the cooktop, press the POWER button for approximately 1 second. The power indicator LED for each surface element shows "0". To turn off the cooktop, press the POWER button.

Note
  • After turning on the cooktop with the POWER button, you must select one of the cooking zones within 60 seconds. If no selection is made, the cooktop will turn off for safety.

Selecting the Cooking Zone

Place an induction-compatible pan on top of the desired cooking zone.

Press the button for the desired cooking zone to set the power level. Burner display '0' will flash.

Note
  • Once the cooking zone has been selected the power level must be selected within 5 seconds with the element power settings. Otherwise, the power settings will turn off for safety.

  • If a power level is not selected, the power settings will turn off after 5 seconds.

Readjusting the Power Level

  • Select the desired cooking zone.

  • Press the desired Power Level. The Power level will be changed after 5 seconds. (If power level 0 is selected, burner will turn off.)

    • If power level shows 'v', check cookware is compatible for induction.

Note
  • Once the power level is changed, the cooking zone operation is temporarily stopped and then restarted at the changed power level.

Turning Off the Cooking Zone

  • After cooking is complete, select the desired cooking zone and change the power level to '0' to turn off the cooking zone after 5 seconds.

  • To turn off all cooking zones, press the POWER button.

Warning
  • Your cooktop has a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. This indicator will warn that this area has been used and is still giving off enough heat to cause burns. Avoid touching the cooking zone.
