Pan Detection

Feature

 

 

 

 

;;:IIIIIC

The Pan Sensing ,,Sensa Cook_ key will activate / deactivate the pan sensing and dual element pan sizing feature. When the Pan Sensing feature is on, the pan sensing LED is -ONe, and the elements can be activated only when metallic cookware is loaded on the cooking zone. When the cooking zone is not loaded with a pan, the display will flash the power level setting. When a pan is present, the display will steadily indicate the power level setting.

With the Pan Sensing feature on, when a pan is removed from the cooktop and the element is -ON_, it will stop heating and the display will flash. If the pan is not put back within 1 minute, the cooktop will beep once. After 5 minutes, the unused cooking zone will shut off if the pan is not put back on the element.

When the Pan Sensing feature is not activated, the Pan Sensing LED is -OFF_ and the elements produce heat with or without metallic cookware load on the cooking zone.

Note: When the Pan Sensing feature is activated, the Element Size Key Pad for the Bridge Element will be available. The Element Size Key Pad for the Dual Element will not be available but the Pan Sensing system will automatically detect the pan size.
