Other Functions
Pause
The Pause function reduces the power level of all active cooking zones to level 1 and maintains them at that level until deactivated. To use the pause function, press the Pause button. To turn off the pause function, press Pause again to return the cooking zone to the previous power level.
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 Heating Index
The cookware heating index can be used to determine if a container will heat well on an induction cooking zone.
The heating index 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 heating index may vary depending on the cooking zone.
The cookware heating index 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 Heating Index
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 heating index. The cookware heating index turns off after 3 seconds.
The higher the index, the better the cookware heats up (rated from 0 to 10).
If the index is low, check the material, size and shape of the cookware base.
Even if the cookware has an IH mark, if the index is low it may not heat properly on this appliance.
If the cookware size does not properly match the element size, the index may be low. Try again with a different size element.
Index | Heating Efficiency |
|---|---|
0 - 3 | No Heating - Low |
4 - 8 | Medium |
9 - 10 | High |
