ABOUT THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP
The ceramic cooktop has inductor elements located below the surface of the glass. The
design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the inductor element underneath. Make
sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop.
Only fl at-bottom cookware should be used. Heat may be transferred from the cookware to
the ceramic glass and the areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to
cause burns. The type and size of cookware, the number of inductor elements in use and
the settings, are all factors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements.
USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface
require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the
heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifi cally identifi ed by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet
to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom
of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking.
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter
the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface diffi cult
and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.
MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The Cooking
Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a
MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location. The inner
ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct
MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom 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 cooktop, make sure the cookware does
not extend more than 1/2” 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 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 circle around the digital part of the display
will stay off and the pan will not heat.
NOTE: Pan
bottom should
not exceed 1/2”
(13mm) from outer
Cooking Zone
(Induction) rings.
