POSSIBLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust leveling legs at base of range until the rack is level. When range is level, cooktop may appear out of alignment if countertop is not level.

Weak, unstable floor. Be sure floor is level and can adequately support range. Contact a carpenter to correct sagging or sloping floor.

Kitchen cabinet misalignment may make range appear to be unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tight. Contact a cabinet maker to correct the problem.

Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpeting interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is ON for the cooking zone.

Make sure to use correct cookware type for induction cooking. Look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you're not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking. It is recommended to always use heavier HIGH quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because light weight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

The induction cooking zones will not glow when they are on as cooking zone do. Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to induce heat directly to the cookware.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire range or oven does not operate" in this Before You Call checklist.
