This feature is only used on the dual
surface element when the pan detection
feature is enabled. When a small pan is
placed on the surface element, the small
surface element will activate. When a pan
larger than 6.0 inches is placed on the
surface element, the large surface
element will automatically activate. This
feature may be overridden for a single
cooking session while leaving the pan
detection feature active (see
Dual Surface
Element
section).
To turn off this feature and the pan detection
feature:
Touch the
PAN
pad.
The light next to the pad will go out,
indicating that pan features are turned off.
NOTE:
The pan must be centered over the
surface element for this feature to work properly.
This feature automatically turns off a
surface element after 60 seconds if a pan
is absent from the surface element. The
power level display will flash until the
surface element automatically turns off
when the control detects the absence
of a pan.
To activate and deactivate pan detection for
all surface elements:
Touch the
PAN
pad.
(At least one surface
element must be on.)
The display will
flash “PAN ON” when the pan detection
feature is on.
A signal will sound and a light next to
the
PAN
pad will indicate whether the
feature is active. If the light is on, pan
detection is on, and if the light is off,
pan detection is off. When the pan
detection feature is disabled, the pan
sizing feature is also disabled.
NOTES:
■
For this feature to work properly, the
pan diameter must be greater than 4.0
inches and centered on the surface
element.
■
This feature may not operate properly
with rounded, curved or warped pan
bottoms (see the
Types of Cookware
section).
■
This feature will not work with
glass-ceramic/stoneware cookware
(see the
Types of Cookware
section).
