Condition

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. 1). Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware as shown in Fig. 2.

Also remember to:

•Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking (See page 7 Fig. 1).

•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.

•Cookware not centered on Cooking Zone surface.

•Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides.

•Cookware centered correctly on Cooking Zone surface.

•Flat pan bottom & straight sides.
