READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BOX CONTENTS: What’s Included with your Paragon Box Contents x1 Paragon Temperature Probe x1 Paragon Induction Cooktop x1 Quickstart Guide x1 Use&Care Manual How Induction Cooking Works The elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that causes the electrons in the ferrous metal pan to vibrate and produce heat. Use pans that have at least a 6 inch diameter along the bottom, this will ensure that it is large enough to most efficiently work with the cooking element The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be generated until a pan is placed on the cooking surface. The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel . or iron utensil (less than the minimum size across the bottom) is placed on the cooking surface when the unit is turned on—items such as steel spatulas, cooking spoons, knives and other small utensils. When the element is activated, the pan begins to heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of the pan. In ch es Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of cookware made of ferrous metals—metals to which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel. The pan material is correct if a magnet sticks to the bottom. Induction cookware must be used with the Paragon Cooktop, see page 10 for a walkthrough on how to choose your cookware.

CARE AND CLEANING: Cleaning the Cooktop Glass Cleaning the Cooktop Glass FAQ: Choosing Cookware Choosing Cookware Cookware recommendations CORRECT Cookware not centered on cooking element surface. Cookware centered correctly on cooking element surface. Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides. Flat pan bottom. Heavy handle tilts pan Pan is properly balanced Pan is partially magnetic on the bottom. Pan is completely magnetic on the bottom. Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to fit the cooking surface and also to the amount of food being prepared. Induction interface disks are NOT recommended. Using the correct size cookware Paragon is designed to be used with pans within the range of 6 to 11 inches in diameter. Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow the induction element to turn on, if a pan is removed for more than 2 minutes, the power will be shut off . For best results, the cookware must make FULL contact with the glass surface. Suitable Cookware Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel and combinations of these materials. Some cookware is specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with induction cooktops. Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work. Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with rims or slight ridges can be used. Round pans give best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly. For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring. 10 INCORRECT Error Codes: These may be displayed on the seven segment display. 1. “UNBI” : Probe has been unbound (unpaired) from the cooktop by the user. 2. “BAT”: Probe battery is running low during precision cooking. 3. “PROB” : No probe connection or connection was lost, cannot use Rapid, Gentle Mode or Multi Stage Cooking when this error is present . 4. “POT”: No pot detected on the cooking surface. Cooking Noise Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount of contents, can also contribute to the sound level. A “humming” noise will be heard from the cooling fan when it turns on to cool the induction elements; it is normal for it to come on shortly after the coil turn on to cook. You may hear a slight “Buzz” when cooking at higher power levels, this is normal. The sound depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will “Buzz” louder depending on the material. A “Buzz” sound may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is reduced, the sound level will go down.
