INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
Pan sensing
The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop
surface require that certain cookware conditions are met
before the induction cooking zones can operate.
The cooking zone display windows may display a pan
sensing error message. If a cooking zone is activated and
no cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking
zone display window will flash with the last power level
request setting (See Fig. 1). If the cookware does not
meet the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not
heat.
The conditions that may generate a flashing error message
are illustrated in Figure 2. Use Figure 2 as a guide to help
to correct the problem or problems before attempting to
reactivate any of the cooking zones.
If the problem or problems are not corrected, the affected
cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes.
NOTE
It is recommended that you lower the requested power
level setting before correcting the pan sensing message.
