4.2 Induction Cooktop Operation
The induction cooktop uses electromagnetic fields to heat cookware directly, offering rapid and responsive temperature changes. It features four induction elements with dual-ring capabilities to accommodate various pot and pan sizes.
4.2.1 Kompatibilní nádobí
Only use cookware with a magnetic base (e.g., cast iron, magnetic stainless steel). Non-magnetic materials like aluminum, copper, or glass will not heat on an induction cooktop. A simple magnet test can determine compatibility.
4.2.2 Using the Elements
Place compatible cookware on the desired element. Turn the corresponding control knob to the desired heat setting. The dual-ring elements automatically adjust to the size of your cookware for efficient heating.

4.2.3 Induction Cooktop Characteristics
- Cycling at Lower Settings: At lower heat settings, induction elements may cycle on and off to maintain a consistent low temperature. This is normal and not a malfunction.
- Hluk: A slight humming or clicking sound may be heard during operation, especially at higher settings or with certain types of cookware. This is normal for induction technology.
- Cookware Handles: Some metal cookware handles may vibrate slightly during use. This is a normal interaction with the electromagnetic field.

5.2 Čištění varné desky
Allow the cooktop to cool completely before cleaning. Use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and a non-abrasive pad to remove spills and stains. Wipe with a clean, damp hadříkem a důkladně osušte.
5.3 Oven Interior (Non-Self-Clean Areas)
For areas not reached by the self-clean cycle, use a mild soap and water solution or a specialized oven cleaner. The hidden bake element design simplifies cleaning the oven floor.
5.4 rošty do trouby
The ultra-durable chrome racks can be cleaned with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, a mild abrasive cleaner may be used, or they can be placed in the self-cleaning oven during a cycle (refer to the full installation guide for specific instructions on rack compatibility with self-clean).
