The Induction Cooking Zones require a
minimum
pan size to be used at each location. The
inner ring of each Cooking Zone is your guide to the correct
minimum
pan size. The pan
bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
•
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the
maximum
pan size.
After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more
than 1/2” beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass
surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones
but is too small, the affected Cooking Zone display will flash and the pan will not heat.
siZe of Pans
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a
certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum
diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.
