is properly supplied to the Cooktop.

• Fluids spilled or object lying on controls area of cooktop. Clean spills
or remove object. Repower cooktop.
• Cooking zone had been used with dry pot at a high power level. Wait
for the cooking zone to cool down.
Cooking zone does not
heat food
• No cookware was placed on the Cooking Zone or the cookware
material type is incorrect for Induction Cooking.
• Cookware bottom not large enough for Cooking Zone.
• Cookware is warped or in poor condition.
• Cookware is not centered on Cooking Zone.
• Cookware resting on cooktop trim or does not rest completely on
cooktop surface.
• No power to the appliance. Check steps under “Entire cooktop does

Cooking zone heats
food too hot or not hot
enough
• Lightweight or warped pans were used. Be sure to use good quality
cookware.
• Use only fl at bottom, evenly balanced medium or heavyweight
cookware. Heavy and medium weight pans heat evenly. Because
lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn more easily (See
pages 7-8 for further information).
• Adjust Cooking Zone power level setting until the proper amount of
heat is obtained.
Poor cooking results
• Many factors affect cooking results. Adjust the recipe’s recommended
power levels or cooking times.
• Cookware is too lightweight or warped. Use heavier quality cookware
so foods being prepared may cook more evenly.
