Power Sharing
The 30” cooktop is equipped with four
cooking zones within two heating
sections: right and left. Each section is
powered by one induction inverter. The
two cooking zones in the right and left
section share the power of one inverter.
The 36” cooktop is equipped with five
cooking zones within three heating
sections: right, left and center. Each
section is powered by one induction
inverter. The two cooking zones in the
right and left section share the power of
one inverter. The center section has its
own inverter.
If you are cooking in both zones of a
heating section, the last zone that began
to heat will cook at the power setting you
selected. The other zone will experience
a slight decrease from its power setting.

Power Sharing Tips: Remember to select the power setting last for the cooking zone you want to maintain at full setting
heat. To maintain full setting heat for two items, place one item on a zone in one section, and the other item on a zone in
another section.
Operational Noises
The electronic processes involved with Induction Cooking create some unusual background noises. These noises are
normal and part of the Induction Cooking process.
Please note that these noises are more noticeable while cooking at the Power BOOST level.
General Care & Cleaning
Cleaning Various Parts of Your Cooktop
Before cleaning any part of the cooktop, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the cooktop is COOL. REMOVE
SPILLOVERS AND HEAVY SOILING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. REGULAR CLEANINGS NOW WILL REDUCE THE
DIFFICULTY AND EXTENT OF A MAJOR CLEANING LATER.
