INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING
COOKWARE SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one of the
incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic
cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and an F will
appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to use the
cooktop.
CORRECT INCORRECT
Cookware centered
correctly on Cooking
Zone surface. Flat pan bottom &
straight sides. Pan size meets or
exceeds the
recommended
minimum size for
the Cooking Zone. Cookware not
centered on Cooking
Zone surface. Curved or warped
pan bottoms or
sides. Pan does not meet
the minimum size
required for the
Cooking Zone used.
Pan rests completely
on the cooktop
surface. Pan is properly
balanced. Pan bottom rests on
cooktop trim or does
not rest completely
on the cooktop
surface. Heavy handle
tilts pan.
SELECTING COOKWARE
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 LED will
blink and the pan will not heat.
Minimum pan size =
7
1 ⁄
4
ʺ (180 mm)
Minimum pan size =
5 ʺ (125 mm)
Minimum
pan size =
5 3 ⁄
4
ʺ (145 mm)
Only use the supplied pan on
the bridge element.
SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE
• There are 4 Cooking Zones on the
induction cooktop. Each element requires a
minimum pan size to be used effectively.
The inner ring of each cooking zone is a
guide to correctly match the minimum pan
size. The bottom of the pan 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 Cooking Zone, make sure
the cookware does not extend more than
1/2
ʺ 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 trim.
