INDUCTION
SELECTING COOKWARE
SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE
•There are 4 Cooking Zones on the induction cooktop. Each element requires a minimum pan size to be used effectively. The inner ring of each cooking zone is a guide to correctly match the minimum pan size. The bottom of the pan must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
•The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware on the Cooking Zone, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2 beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
Minimum pan size = | Minimum pan size = |
71⁄4 (180 mm) | 5 (125 mm) |
Minimum pan size = 53⁄4
(145 mm)
Only use the supplied pan on the bridge element.
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone LED will blink and the pan will not heat.
COOKWARE SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one of the incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and an F will appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.
