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.

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.

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

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thePan size

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.
