Setting the Power Boost Feature
Your induction cooktop is equipped with a power boost feature
on each cooking zone. The power boost is used to bring large
quantities of water or food to cooking temperature at the
fastest speed possible. The power boost feature will give you
up to 139% power output for a maximum of 10 minutes on
most inductors (except for the right cooking zone on the 36”
model which gives you 6 minutes of power boost). After 10
(or 6) minutes, the cooking zone will continue to heat at Hi
position.
To turn ON the power boost feature:
Press the Power Boost pad, Pb will appear in the display
(Fig. 23) and the power boost LED will glow as long as your
zone is on.
To turn OFF the power boost feature:
Touch the ^ or select directly the position desired in the
slider touch area.

Operating the Cooking Zones
The Induction cooktop has Cooking Zones designed for
cookware of various sizes. Be sure to place cookware that
meets the minimum and maximum pan size requirements
(Figs. 8 & 9) for the Cooking Zone desired and is best for
the amount of food being prepared. Place the cookware
with the prepared food on the Cooking Zone BEFORE
setting any of the Cooktop controls.
To Turn ON one or more of the Cooking Zones:
1. Place the prepared food using the correct type and size
cookware on the desired Cooking Zone. Be sure to center
the cookware on the Cooking Zone.
2. Touch and hold the Iwi key pad for 2 seconds (or until a beep
sounds). The Power LED located above the iMi key pad will turn
ON. NOTE: If no other key pad is touched within 10 seconds
the request to Power ON the cooktop will clear.
3. To start one or more of the Cooking Zones lightly touch the
ON
OFF key pad for the Cooking Zones needed. A beep will
sound and the chosen Cooking Zone power level Alpha­
Numeric display will show (Fig. 16) indicating no power
level for the Zone has been set yet. NOTE: If no other key
pad is touched within 10 seconds the request to Power ON
the Cooktop Zone will clear.
4. Set the desired power level for the Cooking Zone by using one
of the three methods explained earlier. If the ^ key pad (Fig.
21) is touched the Cooking Zone will start at HI power level
(the Cooking Zone Alpha-Numeric display will indicate HI).
