•Cookware centered correctly

detection.
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and
maximum pan size for each cooking zone. For best
results, use cookware that matches the size of the
cooking zone.
Cookware that is too small for a zone may not acti-
vate the cookware detection sensor. Cookware that
is much larger than a cooking zone will still cook,
but may be slower and uneven. If your cookware is
not a perfect match, it is best to use a zone a little
smaller than the bottom of the cookware.
Figure 6: Min / max pan size
When the cooktop is on, the cooking zones auto-
matically detect when cookware is placed on the
zone. The control for that zone will light up, making
it easy to know which section of the control to use
for that cooking zone.
If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone,
the zone will turn o after 30 seconds.
If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any
zone for 30 seconds, the whole cooktop will turn
o.
