Selecting Cookware - LG LCE30845 - 30in Induction Cooktop Service Manual

SELECTING COOKWARE

SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE
• There are 4 Cooking Zones on the induction
cooktop. Each element requires a minimum pan
size to be used effectively. The inner ring of each
cooking zone is a guide to correctly match the
minimum pan size. The bottom of the pan must
fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to
occur.
• The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is
helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size.
After centering the cookware on the Cooking
Zone, make sure the cookware does not extend
more than 1/2 beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must make FULL
contact on the glass surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
COOKWARE SELECTION AND PLACEMENT
It is important that the proper cookware be used and placed correctly on the cooktop. ANY one
of the incorrect conditions shown below may be detected by the sensors located below the
ceramic cooktop surface. If this happens, one or more of the Cooking Zones will not heat, and
an F will appear in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problem before attempting to
use the cooktop.
