• A pot with a round bottom
- The smaller contact area may give poor
results.
• Do not use a container with a flat bottom surface
smaller than the burner size.
Pan Preheat Recommendations
Induction cooking may decrease the amount of
time required to preheat cookware compared to
cooking on a radiant element cooktop or gas
surface burner.
Pay close attention to all food items while cooking
on the cooktop and until all cooking processes are
complete.
CAUTION
• Remember that induction surface cooking
initially heats the cookware VERY QUICKLY if the
cookware does not contain food.
Noises during Cooktop Operation
The electronic processes involved with induction
cooking may create some background noises. You
may hear a slight buzzing sound when cooking on
the cooktop. These noises are part of the induction
cooking process and are considered normal.
Some cookware will buzz, depending on the
construction or base material. The buzz may be
more noticeable if the contents of the pan are cold.
As the pan heats up, the noise will decrease. The
noise will also decrease if the power level setting is
reduced.
NOTE
• When using the induction cooktop, operational
noises are more noticeable while cooking in
Boost mode. But very loud noises are not normal
when induction cooking.
• The cooktop fan may turn on to reduce the
temperature of the product, even when the
surface elements are not being used.
• Cookware that is not marked "IH" may make a
loud noise.
• Under certain conditions, your cookware may
produce a high-pitched whistling noise when
two elements are in use at the same time. The
power levels at which this occurs may vary
depending on the kind of cookware being used.
Change the power level to eliminate the noise or
reduce its volume.
Use Flat-Bottomed Cookware
Cookware must fully contact the surface of the
cooking element. Use flat-bottomed pans sized to
fit the cooking element and amount of food being
prepared. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler
across the bottom of the cookware.
