Surface Operation VISC
Rear and Front Elements
Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the desired setting. The element will adjust the
power output to maintain the desired heat setting. The left front burner has a “Boost” feature. A
boost of power is provided for 10 minutes and is used for quickly boiling water when the element is
turned to HI. When finished boiling, turn the control knob to Med HI to maintain the boil or to a
lower setting for steaming, warming, and simmering sauces.
Note:
Induction cooking uses high powered induction elements for faster cooking performance.
Some noise may be noticed by the high powered induction elements. This is normal.
Surface Indicator Lights
The surface indicator lights are located at the front
of the glass cooktop. The indicator lights are used to indicate activation, hot
surface, and warnings.
Note:
If the indicator lights have a 2 to 3 second pause in between flashes, refer to
the “Troubleshooting” section.
Indicator Light Reason
Solid
The element is ON and sensing the proper cookware.
Slow continuous flash
without a pause
1. Element is OFF - hot surface.
2. Element is ON - cookware is not present or cookware is
not induction cookware. (See recommended cookware in
“Before Using Cooktop” section.)
Fast continuous flash
without a pause
The element is ON - surface temperature is very hot. The
power level is regulated to a lower temperature setting as
the internal temperature inside the cooktop has increased
due to extended use.
Do not heat empty cookware or let cookware boil dry. The cookware can
absorb an excessive amount of heat very quickly, resulting in possible
damage to the cookware and ceramic glass.
Surface Cooking Tips
• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm).
Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not recommended.
• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller
elements and larger cookware should be used for larger elements.
Note:
If
ALL
elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise,
causing the cooktop to turn off.
Remember that induction cooking is instantaneous and boiling time is decreased when using the proper induction cookware.
