Using the pan detection feature

This feature automatically turns off a surface unit after 60 seconds if a pan is absent from the surface unit. The power level display will flash until the surface unit is turned off when the control detects the absence of a pan.

To activate and deactivate pan detection for all surface units:

Touch the (PAN) pad. (At least one surface unit must be on.) The display will flash “PAN ON” when the pan detection feature is on.

NOTES:

•For this feature to work properly, the pan diameter must be greater than 4.0 inches and centered on the surface unit.

A signal will sound and a light next to the (PAN) pad will indicate whether the feature is active. If the light is on, pan detection is on and if the light is off, pan detection is off. When the pan detection feature is disabled, the pan sizing feature is also disabled.

•This feature may not operate properly with rounded, curved or warped pan bottoms (see the Selecting types of cookware section).

•This feature will not work with glass cookware (see the Selecting types of cookware section).

Using the pan sizing feature

This feature is only used on the dual surface units when the pan detection feature is enabled. When a small pan is placed on a dual surface unit, the small surface unit will activate. When a pan larger than 6.0 inches is placed on a dual surface unit, the large surface unit will automatically activate. This feature may be overridden for a single cooking session while leaving the pan detection feature active (see the Dual surface unit section).

To turn off this feature and the pan detection feature:

Touch the (PAN) pad.

The light next to the pad will go out, indicating that pan features are turned off.

NOTE: The pan must be centered over the surface unit for this feature to work properly.
