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 (sauce
pan, skillet, stockpot, etc) sitting on the element. The
elements 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 ele-
ment 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 the 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 fl at 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, Zone Smart™ will always be acti-
vated when an element is turned on. To turn off Zone
Smart™, see page 11.
Using Single element
(with Zone Smart™, Pan Sensing Only)
1. Place pan on the center of the element.
2. Touch the center of the control pad that corre-
sponds to the element desired. The display
fl ashes 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 Zone Smart™ Pan sensing and sizing)
1. Place pan on center of element.
2. Touch the center of the control pad that cor-
responds to the chosen element. The ZONE
SMART™ 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 heat-
ing is interrupted. The number of the selected cook
setting and the pan missing symbol (U) fl ashes in the
display. If no pan is placed on the element, a beep will
sound at 60 seconds and after 10 minutes the cook-
top 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.
