Getting Started
NOTE
ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above
in Fig. 1 may be detected by the sensors located
below the ceramic cooktop surface. If the cookware
does not meet any of these conditions, one or
more of the Cooking Zones will not heat indicated
by a flashing power level in the digital display for
that affected zone. Correct the problems before
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Use the correct cookware size
NOTE
If a pan made of the correct material is centered
properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is
TOO SMALL, the power level in the digital display
will start flashing for the affected Cooking Zone
Display and the pan will not heat.

Fig. 1
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction
Cooktop require a
MINIMUM
pan size to be used at
each location. The cross (+) of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size. The
pan bottom must FULLY cover the cross for proper
cooking to occur.
The outer dots at each Cooking Zone is helpful to
determine the pan
MAXIMUM
size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than 1/2” beyond these dots on
the Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL contact
on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan
touching the metal cooktop trims.
