NOTE
ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1 may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat indicated by a flashing power level in the digital display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Selecting surface cooking cookware for induction elements
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (See Fig. 2). Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.
Figure 2
Also remember to:
•Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking.
•Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even cooking results.
•The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
•Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
•Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.
CAUTION
•The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
•DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
•DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect hands from burns.
Prior to using your cooktop for the first time, apply the recommended cooktop cleaning creme to the ceramic surface. Buff with a
