The pan must make full contact with the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trim.
If the correct induction cookware—centered on any of the active cooking elements—is too small, the
affected cooking element's LED bar fluctuates and the pan does not heat.
Cookware Heating Indicator Level
The cookware heating indicator level shows how
efficiently the cookware will heat on the induction
cooktop elements.
1
Turn off all cooktop elements in use.
2
Put enough water in the cookware to cover
the bottom. Place the cookware on the center
of the desired cooktop element.
• Select an element that is appropriate for the
size of the cookware.
3
Set the power level on the selected element to
10.
4
Press Control Lock and the desired cooktop
element number at the same time for at least
3 seconds. The indicator level is shown on the
display for 5 seconds.
CAUTION
• Turn off all cooktop elements before starting to
avoid getting a false result.
• The indicator level is not available if more than
two cooktop elements are in use.
NOTE
• The cookware heating indicator level is based on
the manufacturer's internal standards and is for
reference only.
• The indicator level may vary depending on the
usage environment, power voltage and
cookware temperature.
• The indicator level may vary from element to
element even for the same type of cookware.
• For efficient cooking, use cookware with an
indicator level of 9 or above.
Indicator Level
0 - 1
2 - 8
9 - 10
• If the indicator level is low, check the base
material, size and shape of the cookware.
Cookware with a low indicator level, even if it has
an IH mark, may heat less efficiently or make
noise when heated. This is normal, and the
cookware can still be used safely.
Home Canning
CAUTION
• Canning can generate large amounts of steam.
Use extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the
lid so that steam is vented away from you. Safe
canning requires that harmful micro-organisms
are destroyed and jars are sealed completely.
When using a water bath canner, maintain a
gentle but steady boil for the required time.
Read and observe the following precautions when
home canning. Read the information on the USDA
(United States Department of Agriculture) website
and follow the recommendations there for home
canning procedures.
• Use only quality, flat-bottomed canners when
home canning. Use a ruler to check the bottom
of the canner for flatness.
• Canners with ridges that radiate from the
bottom center are not suitable for use on a
ceramic glass cooktop.
• The diameter of the canner should not exceed
the maximum cooking element markings by
more than one inch. Use smaller diameter
canners on ranges with ceramic-glass or open-
coil-electric cooktops.
• Start with hot tap water to boil water more
quickly. Bring water to an initial boil using the
