Figure 13: Pan sensing conditions
Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
Induction cooking zones require pans of
proper size in order to activate. The cooktop
graphics are guides to minimum and
maximum pan size for each cooking zone.
Figure 14: Good cookware size

too large
• Curved or warped
pan bottoms or
sides.
• Pan bottom rests
on cooktop edge.
• Heavy handle tilts
pan.
The inner ring on each cooking zone
indicates the smallest pan size for the
zone (Figure 15). If cookware is too small,
the display will flash and the pan will not
heat. Select a larger pan or use a different
cooking zone.
The outer ring on the cooktop graphic
indicates the largest pan size for that zone
(Figure 15). Do not use pans with bottoms
that extend beyond the outer circle of a
cooking zone, as doing so may cause food
to heat unevenly.

Correcting Pan Sensing Errors
It is recommended that you lower the
requested power level setting before
correcting a pan sensing error, then reset
the zone to the desired power level.
If conditions preventing operation are
not corrected, the cooking zone will
automatically turn off after two minutes.
Induction Controls When turned on, an
induction cooking zone will not get hot.
The induction cooking zone creates heat in
the cookware, not in the cooktop. Heat is
not created unless there is an iron or steel
object on the cooking zone.
