INDUCTION
INDUCTION COOKING
HOW INDUCTION COOKING WORKS An induction coil is beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface. This generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of the pots and pans as compared to methods that first heat the ceramic glass. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated up, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the Cooking Zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop becomes hot from the heat from the base of the pan. NOTE: If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone, there is no energy transfer (heating up). This prevents the Cooking Zones being switched on and becoming hot accidentally. IMPORTANT: Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging materials. Electromagnetic fields can affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and phones. Do not put magnetically active objects (e.g., credit cards, computer diskettes, cassettes) on or near the ceramic glass surface while one or more induction cooking zones are in use! Do not put any metallic objects (e.g., spoons, pan lids) on the Cooking Zones as they can become hot when the Cooking Zones are in use.
SELECTING COOKWARE
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 labeled by the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. POTS AND PANS In principle, all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These include steel, steelenamel, as well as cast-iron pots and pans. High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Tefal with an aluminum/copper base) are suitable for induction only if the manufacturer has expressly marked them as such. In that case they have a magnetic material in the base. If you wish to use a special type of pan (e.g., a pressure cooker, simmering pan, wok), please follow the manufacturers instructions and do not use a very thin pan. NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises when used on induction cooking zones. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result. SUITABILITY TEST: If you are not sure if a pot or pan is suitable for use with your induction cooktop, you can find out with a few simple tests:
LGE Internal Use Only

INDUCTION
Place a pot filled with a little water (1/8 1/4 ) on the Cooking Zone. Set the Cooking Zone to full power (power level 9). CAUTION: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few seconds! Water should boil rapidly. You can also check cookware suitability with a magnet. If the magnet remains fixed to the base of the pan, the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
- 18 -
INDUCTION
SELECTING COOKWARE
SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE There are 4 Cooking Zones on the induction cooktop. Each element requires a minimum pan size to be used effectively. The inner ring of each cooking zone is a guide to correctly match the minimum pan size. The bottom of the pan must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur. The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware on the Cooking Zone, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2 beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
Minimum pan size = 714 (180 mm) Minimum pan size = 5 (125 mm)
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone LED will blink and the pan will not heat.
COOKWARE SELECTION AND PLACEMENT It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one of the incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and an F will appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop. CORRECT INCORRECT
Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for the Cooking Zone.
Pan does not meet the minimum size required for the Cooking Zone used.
Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on the cooktop surface.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
POWER SHARING Your cooktop is equipped with four induction Cooking Zones within two heating sections. The right and left Cooking Zones are powered by two independent induction invertersone inverter for each of the two heating sections. Two Cooking Zones in a heating section share the power of one inverter. This is called power sharing. For example, if you are cooking on both right Cooking Zones, the last power level set will be maintained, while the first Cooking Zone may experience a slight reduction in the power level. POWER SHARING TIPS: Remember to set the power level for the food item you wish to keep constant last. When using two Cooking Zones, you can maintain a constant power level for two pans on separate heating sections. Place one pan on one of the Cooking Zones of the left heating section and the other pan on one of the Cooking Zones of the right heating section. AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF If a Cooking Zone is in constant use for more than 17 hours and the control setting is not changed, the Cooking Zone will shut off automatically. AUTOMATIC POWER LEVEL CONTROL The power level displayed may be different from the actual power level at the high temperature range. To prevent the cooktop from overheating, the power level is controlled automatically.
