SELECTING COOKWARE
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" 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.

Only use the supplied pan on
the bridge element.
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 heal
