For best results with an induction cooktop the pan bottom should be as fl at as possible with no deep
grooves or ridges on the bottom surface. Pans that are not fl at or that have grooves or ridges on the
bottom will not be as effi cient as smooth, fl at bottomed pans.
To see if the pan is fl at place a ruler or
similar straight edge against the bottom of
the pan.
A pan that is perfectly fl at will have no visible
space between the ruler and the bottom of
the pan.
If the cookware is severely warped or bowed
it may not function on the induction cooktop.
Cookware in this condition may not activate
the pot detection feature of the cooking
zone.
