Cookware Recommendations
 NOTE
ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in Fig. 1
may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic
cooktop surface. If the cookware does not meet any of
these conditions, one or more of the Cooking Zones will
not heat indicated by a fl ashing power level in the digital
display for that affected zone. Correct the problems before
attempting to reactivate the cooktop.
Be sure to follow the following recommendations for
using cookware as shown:
INCORRECT CORRECT
• Cookware not centered on
Cooking Zone surface.
• Cookware centered cor-
rectly on Cooking Zone
surface.
• Curved or warped pan
bottoms or sides.
• Flat pan bottom & straight
sides.
• Pan does not meet the
minimum size required for
the Cooking Zone used.
• Pan size meets or exceeds
the recommended minimum
size for the Cooking Zone.
• Pan bottom rests on cook-
top trim or does not rest
completely on the cook-
top surface.
• Pan rests completely on
the Cooktop surface.
• Heavy handle tilts pan. • Pan is properly balanced.

BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
Use the Correct Cookware Size
The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each location.
The inner “X” of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the
correct MINIMUM pan size. The pan bottom must FULLY
cover the inner “X” for proper cooking to occur.
The thicker outer lines “+” 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 power level will fl ash in the in the digital display and
the pan will not heat.
 NOTE
NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2” (13mm) from
outer Cooking Zone (Induction) “+”.
