Before Setting Surface Controls
Induction Cookware
The induction cooking zones have pan sensing to let you know
that the cookware is in proper position for cooking. The display
showing the selected power setting will flash on and off if the
pan is not placed properly on the cooking zone. Move the pan
to the center of the zone and the display will stop flashing.
INCORRECT CORRECT
Minimum Pan Size Requirements
Important: Pan bottoms should not extend more than 1/2"
(13mm) beyond outer Cooking Zone (Induction).
Figure 3: How to set cookware for proper induction cooking
W
- Flat bottom and straight
sides.
- Tight fitting lids.
- Weight of handle does
not tilt pan. Pan is well
balanced.
- Pan sizes match the
amount of food to be
prepared and the size
of the surface element.
- Made of material that
conducts heat well.
- Easy to clean.
- Always match pot
diameter to element
size.
- Curved and warped pans.
Cookware larger than
cooking area marked on
cooktop by more than
one-half inch or 12mm.
- Heavy handle tilts pan.
- Pan is smaller than the
heating area marked on
cooktop.
Important note: If the cookware meets any of these incorrect
conditions, one or more of the cooking zones will not heat
indicated by a flashing power level display. Correct the
problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Figure 4: Induction cooking zone sizes
Pan Sensing-Induction Cooking Zones
Minimum Pan Size
Induction cooking zones require a minimum pan size in order to
activate. The cookware bottom must meet the minimum area for
the heating process to begin.
If a pan that is induction-capable is centered properly but is too
small, the cooking zone display will flash the last power level
setting and the pan will not heat. Select a larger pan that meets
the minimum size requirement to activate the cooking zone.
Maximum Recommended Pan Size
The graphics on each cooking zone location are your guides to
the correct maximum pan size for that zone (See Figure 4).
It is recommended to not use pans with bottoms that extend
more than 1/2" (13 mm) beyond any of the longer line marks
provided on the cooktop.
The cookware must make full contact with the ceramic glass
surface. Cookware should not rest on or touch the metal edges
of the cooktop.
