Sensors:
O n CEP models the sensors detect pan sensing and pan sizing.
Pan sensing: The CEP models have sensors under the glass that detects if there is a metallic pan sitting on
the element. The element will not heat if it is turned on without a pan present, or if the pan is removed from
the element when it is operating. If no pan is present on the element, a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After
10 minutes, the cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan is placed on the element.
Pan sizing:
O n the double and triple elements, the sensor can choose the size pan being used and turn on
the appropriate element. This feature is either on or off for all elements, and works together with the pan
sensing feature. (See illustration, below.)
Pan sensing/sizing guidelines:
• O nly metal cookware will work with the pan sensing/pan sizing feature.
GLASS OR STONEWARE WILL
NOT WORK.
• A pan must be sitting on the element for the element to heat up.
• O nly pans with flat metal bases can be detected.
• The bottom diameter of the pan must be at least as large as the diameter of the element. (Cookware
diameter indicated by the manufacturer is measured across the top and can be greater than the bottom).
• Center the cookware on the element.
• A large pan cannot exceed beyond 1" over the sides of the largest element.
