The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location
(Figs. 2).
The outer tip 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 outer tip of cross-hair of
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.

PLEASE NOTE- ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed
above may be detected by the sensors located below the
ceramic cooktop surface. If the cookware meets any of these
incorrect conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not
heat indicated by a flashing power level display. Correct the
problems before attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
