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 specifically identified 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
(See Fig. 1).
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 difficult
and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE
- The Cooking Zones available on the
Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM
pan size to be used at each location (Fig.
2). 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 (See example in Fig. 2). The pan
must make FULL contact on the glass
surface without the bottom of the pan
touching the metal cooktop trims (Shown
in Fig. 2).
NOTE: 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
display will flash the power level and the
pan will not heat.
NOTE: Pan bottom should
not exceed 1/2" (13mm)
from outer Cooking
Zone (Induction) rings
