ZONE SMART™ Pan sensing and Sizing
(CEP models only)
Pan Sensing
Each element has sensors under the glass ceramic panel
which detect if there is a metallic pan (saucepan, skillet,
stockpot, etc.) sitting on the element. The element
will heat up when it is turned on and the sensor detects
the presence of a pan. This feature is either on or off
for all elements and works together with the Pan sizing
feature.
The element will not heat if it is turned on without a
pan present or if the pan is removed from the element
when it is operating. If no pan is present on the element,
a beep will sound at 60 seconds. After 10 minutes, the
cooktop beeps and shuts down if no pan is placed on
the element.
Pan Sizing
On the double and triple elements, a sensor under
the cooktop can choose the size pan being used and
turn on the appropriate element. This feature is either
on or off for all elements and works together with the
Pan Sensing feature.
Pan Sensing and Sizing Guidelines
• A cooking Pan must be sitting on the element for
the element to heat-up.
• Only pans with flat metal bases can be detected.
• The bottom diameter of the pan must be at least
as large as the diameter of the element. (Cookware
diameter indicated by manufacturers is measured
across the top and is usually greater than the
bottom.)
• Only metal cookware can be used with the Pan
sensing and Pan sizing features. Glass or stoneware
will not work.
• Center the cookware over the element.
• A large pan cannot extend beyond 1" over the
sides of the largest element.
ZONE SMART™ Pad
This pad turns off both the Zone Smart features,
Pan Sensing and Sizing.
The placement of the element control corresponds
to the placement of the heating element on the
cooktop. On CEP models, Z

Using a single element
(with Z
ONE
S
MART
, Pan Sensing Only)
1. Place pan on the center of the element.
2. Touch the center of the control pad that
corresponds to the element desired. The display
flashes 0 and two lights to the left and right of the
display. The
ZONE SMART
indicator light turns on.
3. Touch desired heat setting number. The display
shows the heat setting and the element starts
heating.
4. To turn off surface element, touch the element
display.
The element heats up when it has been turned on and
the sensors detect the presence of a pan.
Using a dual or triple element
(with Z
ONE
S
MART
Pan Sensing and Sizing)
1. Place pan on the center of the element.
2. Touch the center of the control pad that
corresponds to the chosen element. The Z
ONE
S
MART
indicator light turns on.
3. Touch desired heat setting. The display shows the
heat setting.
4. The small, medium, or large cooking areas on the
selected dual or triple element will be activated
automatically depending on the size of the pan.
5. To turn off surface element, touch the element
display area twice OR
To turn off all elements at the same time, touch
the POWER Pad.
When the pan is lifted off the element, the
heating is interrupted. The number of the selected
cook setting and the pan missing symbol ( U
U U U U ) flashes
in the display. If no pan is placed on the element, a
beep will sound at 60 seconds and after 10 minutes
the cooktop beeps and will shut down. Either place
the pan back on the element or turn off the
element.
NOTE: When the Power pad is touched, all
elements that are on will be turned off.
