Certain cookware can make noise when being used on induction cooking zones. These noise are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE
•The Induction Cooking Zones require a minimum pan size to be used at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct minimum pan size. The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
•The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the maximum pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
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 display will flash and the pan will not heat.
SIZE OF PANS
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
