PLEASE NOTE- ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If the cookware meets any of these incorrect conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat indicated by a flashing power level display. Correct the problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.

The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location (Figs. 8 & 9).
