Using the Cooktop
Cooking Areas
The cooktop is equipped with four induction
cooking elements of different sizes and a radiant
heat warming zone. The wattage ratings below are
maximum outputs. The second rating is the maximum
output for Boost mode.

There are LED displays under each induction cooking
element which adjust to show the power level when
the element is used.
Benefits of Induction Surface Cooking
Speed and Efficiency
Induction cooking elements heat faster and use less
energy. Induction power levels quickly boil liquids and
are efficient when simmering.
A Cooler Cooktop
Whether induction cooking elements are turned on or
off, they remain cooler than radiant elements. Virtually
no heat is wasted because the heat begins with the
presence of cookware.
Easy Cleanups
Cooler cooking elements make for easier cleaning.
Spills resist sticking or burning so they wipe up easily.
Pan Size Detection
A sensor automatically detects and adapts the
induction cooking element to the pan size in use for
more consistent, even cooking.
Greater Responsiveness
Induction cooking elements are more responsive than
their electric or gas counterparts because only the pan
heats. Induction elements heat more easily and are just
as responsive when reducing temperatures to a simmer.

Induction Cookware
NOTE
Before using the induction cooking elements,
carefully read and follow these cookware
recommendations and the instructions in the pan
sensing sections.
When purchasing pans for use on the induction
cooktop, look for cookware identified by the
manufacturer as "induction ready" or "induction
capable", or that is marked by the manufacturer as
specifically designed for induction cooking.
The base material of the cookware must be magnetic
for the cooking elements to activate. Use a magnet
to check if the cookware base material is suitable. If
the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the
cookware can be used for induction cooking.
For the best possible surface cooking results, use
only high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware on the
induction cooking elements. Follow manufacturer's
recommendations when using induction cookware.
Induction Cookware Types
The three most common induction cookware types
available are stainless steel, cast iron, and porcelain-
enamel-coated metals.
• Stainless Steel is generally excellent for induction
cooking. It is durable, easy to clean, and resists
staining.
NOTE
Not all stainless steel cookware is magnetic;
stainless steel is not always suitable for induction
cooking.
• Cast iron cooks evenly and is also good for
induction cooking. Do not slide cast iron cookware
on the cooktop; cast iron cookware with a rough
surface will scratch the ceramic cooktop.
• Porcelain-enamel-coated metals have variable
heating characteristics depending on the quality of
the base metal. Make sure the porcelain-enamel
coating is smooth to avoid scratching the ceramic
cooktop.
