Fig. 8
Fig. 9
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop
require a
MINIMUM
pan size to be used at each location
(Figs. 8 & 9).
The outer tips of each cooking zone cross-hair 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 the thicker line 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.
NOTE:
If a pan made of the correct material is centered
properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO
SMALL, the affected Cooking Zone display will flash the
power level and the pan will not heat.
