USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE

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 your 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.
18).
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.
MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH
COOKING ZONES
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOK-
WARE - The 5 Cooking Zones
available on the Induction Cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be
used at each location (Fig. 19). 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 deter-
mine the pan MAXIMUM size. After
centering the cookware of the
cooktop, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than ½"
beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone (See example in Fig.
19). The pan must make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trims (Shown in Fig. 19).
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 LED will display an
