INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Pan sensing-induction cooking zones (cont'd)
Induction zone minimum cookware size
The two induction cooking zones available on the cooktop
require a minimum pan size to be used at each location.
The smaller inner ring on each cooking zone (See Fig. 1) is
your guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.
The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper
cooking to occur.
If a pan made of correct material is centered properly on
any of the active cooking zones but is too small, the
affected cooking zone display will flash and the pan will not
heat until a larger pan that covers the inner ring is used.

Induction zone maximum cookware size
The thicker outer ring at each cooking zone is helpful to
determine the pan maximum size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop induction zone, be sure the
cookware does not extend more than 1/2" (13mm) beyond
the outer circle for the zone (See Fig. 1). The pan must
make full contact on the ceramic surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop edges.

Power sharing - induction cooking zones
Your cooktop has two induction cooking zones that share
the same power inverter. If the user places cookware on
both induction cooking zones and attempts to set hi power
levels for both, one cooking zone position will automatically
lower slightly.
For example, if you are heating items using both cooking
zones at the same time, the last cooking zone power level
set will be maintained, while the first cooking zone set may
experience a slight reduction in the power level setting (See
Fig. 2). This is called power sharing.
IMPORTANT
To avoid a power level change due to power sharing,
always set the power level for the cooking zone you
would prefer to maintain last.
