Youmustuseaferrouspanwhenusingtheinductioncoilson
thisrange.Thewarmingzoneisnotaninductioncoilandwill
workwithanytypeofcookware.Youcanverifyyourpanis
ferrousifamagnetstickstoit.Qualitycookwarewithheavy
bottomsmadeofcastiron,magneticstainlesssteeland
enameledsteelworkbest.Forbestresults,usepanswithflat
bottoms.Woksthatdonothaveflatbottomsinclosecontactto
theglasssurfacewillnotwork.Somepansaremadeespecially
forinductioncooking.
What Type of Pans Are Required?
Alowhummingnoiseisnormalwhenusinginductioncoils,
especiallyonhigherpowersettings.Heavyenamelcast-iron
potsproducelessnoisethanlightweightsteelpans.Theamount
ofcontentinthepanscanalsoaffectnoiselevel.Pansthat
completelycoverthegraphicsontheglasswillproduceless
noise.Watertrappedunderpanscanboil,causingthecookware
tovibrateorslideontheglasssurface.
Cookware “Noise”
Pan Size and Shape
Theinductioncoilsrequireaminimumpansizeinorderfortheelementtoturnon.
Inorderfortheinductioncoiltocorrectlydetermineifthepanislargeenough,itis
importantthatthepanbecenteredwithinthecirculargraphicsmarkedonthe
glasscookingsurface.Theminimumpansizethatwillworkforeachinductioncoil
isshownontheright.Pansthatarenotferrousoraretoosmallwillnotallowthe
inductioncoiltoturnon,andthepowerleveldisplayforthatcoillocationwillflash
for30secondsandthenturnoff.Ifapanisremovedfromtheinductioncoilfor
morethan30seconds,thepowerwillbeshutoff.Squarepanswillwork,although
roundpansthatmatchtheinductioncoilsizesworkbest.Cookwarelargerthan
thecooktopglassgraphicswillwork.Forbestresults,matchthepansizewith
thenearest-sizegraphicsontheglasscookingsurface.
Useaflat-bottomedwok.Useagriddle.Useflat-bottomedpans.
Boost Mode and Power
Sharing
PowerSharingisactivatedwhen
bothelementsinthesamecooking
zoneareactivatedandoneelement
issetforBoost(H).Theelement
thatisnotsetforBoostwillchange
toalowerpowerlevel.Thisis
calledPowerSharing.WhenBoost
operationiscomplete(10minutes),
theotherelementmayberesetto
anypowerlevel.Bothelementscan
operatesimultaneouslyatnormal
powerlevelsettingsof“L”to9.

Using the cooktop. (cont.)
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Surface units do Improper cookware being used. •Wrongpantype.Useamagnettocheckthatcookwareis
not work properly or induction-compatible.Useaflatinduction-capablepanthatmeets
flashing power setting theminimumsizefortheelementbeingused.SeethePansizeand
shapesection.
Pan is too small. •Pansizeisbelowtheminimumsizefortheelement.SeethePan size
and shapesection.
Pan not positioned correctly. •Centerthepaninthecookingzone.
Pan detection/sizing Pan is improperly placed. •Makesurethepaniscenteredonthecorrespondingsurfaceelement.
not working properly
Cooktop control improperly set. •Checktoseethatthecontrolissetproperly.
Surface unit setting Power sharing. •Checktoseeifpowerwasbeingsharedbetweentwoelements.See
changed or turned Boost ModeandPower Sharing section.
off unexpectedly
High cooktop temperature. • Allowtheinternalfantocoolthecooktop.
Before you call for service…
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RIGHT
SIDE POWER SHARING
The elements on the right side share one
generator. Both elements can operate at
any non-Boost (level L to 9) power level
at the same time. When the large 11”
element is set for “H” or Boost, the smaller
element is automatically shut off and
cannot be activated. After 10 minutes,
Boost (H) will revert to power level 9.
At that time, the smaller element may be
activated and set for any power level.
