IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other productive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Before Using the Cooktop

induction Cooktop Features

A COOLER COOKTOP - A unique feature of the Induction Cooktop is whether turned ON or OFF, the cooktop surface remains cooler than standard ceramic cooktops.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

MAGNETIC DETECTOR - The coil sensor automatically

detects if a pan is magnetic; if it is not, the Cooking Zone wiil not activate.

PAN SIZE DETECTION - The pan detection sensor automatically adapts the size of Cooking Zones to the pan sizes in use.

EFFiCiENT - Induction cooking heats faster while using less energy. Induction power boils more quickly and simmers more evenly.

Use Quality Cookware in Good

Condition

The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 6). Be sure

to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as shown on pages 6 & 7.

Use the Correct Cookware Type

The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.

When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type wiii work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking (Fig. 5).

W

Fig. 5

It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.

This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.

Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches wiii make cleaning the surface difncuit and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

Fig. 6

Also remember to:

*Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking (Fig. 5).

*Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.

The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.

*Do not let pans boll dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).

Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.

The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. But the glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.

DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOl(WARE or

PANS directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot

holders to protect hands from burns.

DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the rec- ommended cooktop cleaning creme (on the web visit www. sears.cam for replacement cleaner, item number 40079)

to the ceramic surface. Buff with a non-abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning creme leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

important operating notes

*Fluids spilled or objects lying on the controls area of the cooktop may cause the cooktop to display an error code and turn OFF while cooking. Clean the spills or remove the objects from the cooktop.

o Be sure the cooktop vent holes are NOT blocked. If the vent holes are blocked the cooktop internal sensor may shut OFF the cooktop to avoid overheating the appliance.

"If the cookware or pan is moved from the center of any active Cooking Zone for any reason, a sensor will detect the situation and the cookware will no longer heat. The

affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will flash the power level set for the Cooking Zone. The Cooking Zone will remember the power level setting for up to 3 minutes before the Cooking Zone will automatically shut OFF.

Preheat Recommendations

When preheating a pan on the cooktop always watch carefully. Whenever using the cooktop, always pay attention to any items cooking and remain attentive until the cooking process is complete.

Keep in mind that induction may decrease the amount of time required to preheat a cooking utensil.

Error Codes Display Message

The control display will show C then XX and if the surface is hot it will show C then XX then HE and then it will repeat. For service, call 1=800=4=MY=HOME??.

Power Level Settings

The Cooking Zones have separate Power Level Alpha-Numeric displays. Once active, the Cooking Zones will provide 25 Power Levels to choose from. These include Hd, LO, 12, ILl, I E, 18, 2 0,

9.S, HI, Pb. The highest setting of Pb or "Power Boost" provides up to 139% power for 10 minutes (except for the right cooking zone on the 36" model which gives you 6 minutes of power boost). Each key pad touch (or just holding down the Power Level key pad) will scroll through all the available power levels for any Cooking Zone quickly.

Residual Heat

Once any Cooking Zone has been used for cooking and turned OFF, and if the cooktop surface temperature on any of the Cooking Zones is still too HOT, HE wiii appear in the Alpha-Numeric display for the affected Cooking Zone. The

HE wiii continue to display if the temperature is still too HOT.

Pan Detection

All Cooking Zones will provide a Pan Detection message. If a Cooking Zone is turned ON and no pan is detected, or the pan has been moved or is not centered correctly, or is not made of magnetic material, the power level wiii flash in the affected Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display. If no pan is detected, no heat will be generated and the cooking zone wiii turn off after 3 minutes.

Setting Cooktop Controls

Power Sharing

In order to give you more flexibility, your induction cooktop is equipped with more cooking zones than the number of induction generators. Each of those generators is assigned to power a specific cooking zone (Fig. 25). One or two cooking zones are assigned to each generator. To be able to give you access to the highest power ratings, the generator will focus its power onto only one cooking zone. If you use more than one cooking zone at high power on the same generator, the generator will need to shore its power to both cooking zones, thus lowering the power level of one of the cooking zones.

When you are shoring power (cooking in both zones), the last zone set will cook at the power setting you selected. The other zone will experience a slight decrease from its power setting if both zones are set high enough.

Depending on the size of your cooktop, 2 or 3 sections are available:

???The 30" cooktop is equipped with 4 cooking zones within 2 sections.

???The 36" cooktop is equipped with five cooking zones within 3 sections. Note that on the 36" cooktop the right cooking zone has its own section and will not share its power.

To get the highest power output from your cooking zones, cook with only one cookware per heating section. If you need to use most of your cooking zones at once, start your cooking process on only one cooking zone within the heating section and then add your second cookware on the second cooking zone when the first one has already reached its cooking temperature.

Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking zone you want to maintain at full power or set the altered power to where you want it.

2 Induction Generators

Cooking Zones

Operational Noises

The electronics generating the induction fields are pretty much noiseless but they do produce heat at high power level. A soft-sounding cooling fan activates when the unit is running multiple cooking zones at once or when a cooking zone is set at very high power settings.

The buzzing sound you could hear from your cooktop is not coming from the electronics but from the cookware you are using. Here are some causes of this noise:

???Most induction-ready cookware are made of several layers of materials. An encapsulated steel layer is usually used to harness the induction field and transform it into hea h which is then transferred to the other materials by radiant energy. The induction field will cause the steel layer to vibrate against the other materials in which it

is encapsulated. This is the most common cause of noise from the induction process. This buzzing only happens

at the higher power level settings. Note that high quality cookware manufacturers weld this steel layer in place which lowers or cancel this noise.

???Light weight cookware may also vibrate. We recommend using heavy weight quality cookware.

???Cookware with warped bottoms can vibrate on the ceramic glass surface at high power settings.

quality cookware is vulnerable to warping.

???Riveted handles on cookware can also cause buzzing sounds from the vibrations.

???Solid cast iron and enamelware cookware should not emit any noise. Top quality cookware made of several layers should also be relatively quiet.

Use hob soapy water and a cloth or paper towel. Dry with a clean cloth.

For general cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth. For more difficult soils and built-up grease, apply a liquid detergent directly onto the soil. Leave on soil for 30 to 60 minutes. Rinse with a damp cloth and dry. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on any of these materials; they can scratch or duii the finish.

Ceramic Glass Cooktop Cleaning &

Maintenance

Consistent and proper cleaning is essential to maintaining your Ceramic glass cooktop

Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended CookTop?? Cleaning Creme to the ceramic surface (on the web visit www.sears.com for replacement cooktop cleaner, item number 40079). Buff with a non- abrasive cloth or no-scratch cleaning pad. This will make cleaning easier when soiled from cooking. The special cooktop cleaning cream leaves a protective finish on the glass to help prevent scratches and abrasions.

Sliding aluminum or copper clad bottom pans on the cooktop can cause metal markings on the cooktop surface. These marks should be removed immediately after the cool<top has cooled using the cooktop cleaning cream. Metal marks can become permanent if not removed prior to future use.

Cookware (cast iron, metal, ceramic or glass) with rough bottoms can marl< or scratch the cooktop surface. Do not slide anything metal or glass across the cooktop. Do not use your cooktop as a cutting board or work surface in the kitchen. Do nat cool< foods directly on the cooktop surface without a pan. Do not drop heavy or hard objects on the glass cooktop, because they may cause it to crack.

Cleaning Recommendations for the

Ceramic Glass Cooktop

Before cleaning the cooktop, be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the cooktop is COOL.

DO NOT use a cooktop cleaner on a hot cooktop. The fumes can be hazardous to your health, and can chemically damage the ceramic glass surface.

For light to moderate soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop?? Cleaning Creme directly to the cooktop. Use a paper towel or use a non-abraslve plastic type no-scratch pad to clean the entire cooktop surface. Make sure the cooktop is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no residue.

For heavy, burned on soil:

Apply a few drops of CookTop?? Cleaning Creme directly to the soiled area. Rub the soiled area using a non-abraslve plastic type no-scratch pad, applying pressure as needed.

Do not use the pad you use to clean the cooktop for any other purpose.

If soils remain, carefully scrape soils with a metal razor blade scraper, holding scraper at a 30 degree angle to the surface. Reappiy CookTop?? Cleaning Creme and buff surface clean.
