Cooking Zone
• The center area is a dual cooking zone which
activates single or dual elements depending on
pot/pan size. If the cooktop detects cookware
that is less than 9" in diameter, only the inner
ring(single element) will activate. If it detects
cookware larger than 9" in diameter, it will
activate both the inner and outer rings(dual
element).
• To quickly boil a very large quantity of water, set
the center element to Boost, use a pot that is at
least 9" in diameter so that the center dual
element is activated, and turn off all other
elements.
Minimum Cookware Size
• Use cookware with a bottom surface diameter of
5 13/16" (147 mm) or greater.
• For flexible cooking zone, minimum cookware
size is 4 3/4" x 10 5/8" (120 mm x 270 mm).
