INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Pan sensing-induction cooking zones (cont’d)Minimum pan size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in
order to activate. The graphics on each cooking zone
location are your guide to the correct minimum pan size for
that zone.The shorter lines guide the minimum pan size
(see Figure 1). The cookware bottom must meet the
minimum area for the heating process to begin.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is
too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash the
last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Select a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the cooking zone.
See Figure 1 for the minimum pan size requirements for
each cooking zone location.
The graphics on each cooking zone location are your guide
to the correct maximum pan size for that zone.The longer
lines guide the maximum pan size (see Figure 1).
It is recommended to not use pans with bottoms that
extend more than 1/2” (13mm) beyond any of the longer
line marks provided on the cooktop.
The cookware must make full contact with the ceramic
glass surface. Cookware should not rest on or touch the
metal edges of the cooktop.
