U se the proper cookware and place it correctly on

is detected by the sensors located below the
ceramic cooktop surface. Correct the problem before
attempting to use the cooktop.

correctly on surface of

straight sides.

Mov ing Cookw are on th e Cooktop
Always use heavier gauge, high-q uality cookware
on the cooking elements and do not slide it on the
ceramic cooktop surface. Even high-q uality cookware
can scratch the cooktop surface.
N O T E
• Always lift cookware before moving it on the
ceramic glass surface. Any cookware that has
a rough or dirty bottom can mark and scratch
the cooktop surface. Always start with clean
cookware.
• D o not allow aluminum foil or any material that
can melt to make contact with the ceramic glass
cooktop. If these materials melt on the cooktop
they may damage the ceramic glass surface.
Sliding any type of cookware over the surface will
scratch the cooktop over time. Scratches will make
cleaning the ceramic cooktop difficult and degrade
the appearance of the cooktop.

Pan Sensing

The cooking-element sensors located below the
cooktop surface req uire certain cookware conditions
to be met before the induction cooking elements can
operate.
The cooking zone LE D bar may display a pan sensing
error message. If a cooking element is activated
and no cookware is detected, the affected induction
cooking zone LED bar will fluctuate. If the cookware
does not meet the correct conditions, the cooking
zone may not heat.
If the problem is not corrected, the affected cooking
element will automatically deactivate after one
minute.
