Power Level 1 to Boost
If you set a cook zone power level from 1 to Boost but no pan
is present, a U-shaped symbol (representing the cross-section
of a pan) alternates with the setting number (or letter “b” when
in boost mode) on the readout, signalling that no cookware is
detected.
Correctly Sizing/Placing the Cookware
A cook zone shuts itself off after 10 minutes if it cannot detect
cookware. To ensure your cookware is detected:
• use a pan that is no larger/smaller than ½” of the zone
perimeter. (If the pot is too small, the cooktop may not detect it;
if the pot is too large, heating efficiency may suffer.)
• Center the pan within the cook zone.
About the Cookware
WARNING
Use correct pan sizes. The cooktop features five cook-zone sizes
(includes the bridge zone). Cookware diameter should be large enough
to cover the cook zone. Undersized cookware exposes part of the
heating element, which reduces heating efficiency and may be unsafe.
• Improper cookware will not cook efficiently or evenly, and can
be unsafe; thus, you should select ferrous (magnetic) cookware
such as cast iron or cookware designed for induction cooking,
which typically is marked (on the bottom) with this symbol:
• Non-magnetic cookware will not heat food and may cause
vibration or activate the “No Pan Detected” indicator: (See
About Pan Detection, this page.)
• Use cookware appropriate to the amount of food being prepared.
• Use tight-fitting lids to retain heat and avoid spills.
Do not use:
• cookware with round bottoms or rough bottoms that could
scratch the glass cooktop
• griddle plates that cover multiple cook zones (except if bridging)
• greasy/grimy/dusty/damaged cookware.
About Pan Detection
Active cook zones will not heat up unless an induction-compatible
pot/pan is within the zone. If you turn ON a cook zone and set a
heat level, but—
• no cookware is present
• the cookware is not fully within the zone
• you remove the cookware without turning OFF the zone
—a certain symbol (depending on the setting) appears in the
digital readout above the heat-level ramp, indicating that no
cookware is detected.
Simmer Level
If you set a cook-zone heat level at Simmer but no pan is present,
a U-shaped symbol (representing the cross-section of a pan)
“bobs” up and down on the digital readout, signalling that no
cookware is detected.
