Pan sensing-induction cooking zones (cont'd)
Minimum pan size
Each of the four induction cooking zones require a minimum
pan size in order to activate. The smaller inner ring
provided at each cooking zone location (See Fig. 1) is your
guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone.The
cookware bottom must fully cover the minimum area for the
heating process to begin.
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. Select a
larger pan that meets the minimum size requirement to
activate the cooking zone.
The illustration provided shows the minimum pan size
requirements for each cooking zone location.
