Cooktop Operating Instructions

Setting the Controls – ZONE SMART™

ZONE SMART™ Pan sensing and Sizing (CEP models only)

Pan Sensing

Each element has sensors under the glass ceramic panel which detect if there is a metallic pan (saucepan, skillet, stockpot, etc.) sitting on the element. The element will heat up when it is turned on and the sensor detects the presence of a pan.This feature is either on or off for all elements and works together with the Pan sizing feature.

The element will not heat if it is turned on without a pan present or if the pan is removed from the element when it is operating. If no pan is present on the element, a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After 10 minutes, the cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan is placed on the element.

The placement of the element control corresponds to the placement of the heating element on the cooktop. On CEP models, ZONE SMART™ will always be activated when an element is turned on. To turn off ZONE SMART, see Page 11.
