SELECTING COOKWARE
SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE
• There are 4 Cooking Zones on the induction
cooktop. Each element requires a minimum
pan size to be used effectively. The inner ring
of each cooking zone is a guide to correctly
match the minimum pan size. The bottom of
the pan must fully cover the inner ring for
proper cooking to occur.
• The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone
is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM
size. After centering the cookware on the
Cooking Zone, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than 1/2ʺ 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 trim.
COOKWARE SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one of the
incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic cooktop
surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and an F will appear in the
affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to use the cooktop.
