NOTE
•
Cookware appropriate for induction cooking is labelled as suitable by the
manufacturer.
•
Certain cookware can make noise when being used on induction cooking
zones. These noises do not indicate that the cooktop is malfunctioning and do
not affect its operation in any way.
Using the correct size cookware
•
The Induction Cooking Zones require that you use pots and pans of a
minimum
size or larger at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct
minimum
pan size. The pan bottom must fully
cover the inside for proper cooking to occur.
•
The thicker outside at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the
maximum
pan 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 fully contact the glass surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
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
and the pan will not heat.
•
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone, will be displayed. After 30 seconds, the corresponding cooking
zone will turn off.
Pot and pan sizes
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking
zone.
