Surface Cooking
SensaCook™ (some models)
Some models come with SensaCook™, a pan sensing feature. The SensaCook™ key will activate or deactivate pan sensing feature and the dual element pan sizing features (Fig. 1).
The LED light located above the SensaCook™ pad (Fig. 1) will indicate when this feature is active. If the feature is active, any cooking zone marked SensaCook™ Element (Fig. 2) will begin to heat only when properly sized metallic cookware is placed on one of the surface cooking zones.
If metallic cookware is not used or if metallic cookware is not properly centered on the cooking zone, the surface element control display will flash the power level setting indicating that the cooking zone is not heating. When proper cookware has been detected, the surface element control will display the power level without flashing.
If the SensaCook™ feature is active and the cookware is removed from heating zone while cooking, the SensaCook™ feature will deactivate the affected cooking zone and will stop heating (the display will flash the power level). If the cookware is not placed back on the cooking zone within 1 minute, the cooktop control will provide a reminder beep. If the cookware is not placed back on the cooking zone within 5 minutes the SensaCook™ feature will completely deactivate the affected cooking zone and flush the previous power level setting automatically.
Any cooking zone may also be used without activating the SensaCook™ feature. If deactivated, the cooking zone elements produce heat when using all types of cookware.
When the SensaCook™ feature is active, the Element Size keypad for the Bridge Element will be available for setting. The Element Size keypad for the Dual Element will not be available, but the SensaCook™ pan sensing system will automatically detect and set the proper pan size. The SensaCook™ feature does not work with the Warming Zone element (See Fig. 3).
