Induction Cooking Zones
Induction cooking zone minimum and
maximum cookware sizes
Minumum pan size
Each of the four Induction cooking zones require a
minimum pan size in order to activate. The cookware
bottom must fully cover this minimum area for heating to
occur.
If a pan that is induction capable is centered properly but
is too small, the affected cooking zone display will flash
the last power level setting and the pan will not heat. Use a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the cooking zone.
The illustration provided (Fig. 1) shows the minimum pan
size requirements for each for each cooking zone location.
Maximum pan size
Use the cooktop graphics provided for each induction
cooking zone location to help determine the recommended
maximum cookware size.
After centering the cookware on the cooking zone, do not
use pans with bottoms that extend more than 1/2" (13ram)
outside of the cooking zone patterns provided on the
cooktop.
The cookware bottom must make full contact with the
ceramic glass surface without cookware touching the metal
cooktop sides, rear or front edges.
