Surface Cooking
SensaCook TM (some models)
Some models come with SensaCook TM, a pan sensing feature. The SensaCook TM key will activate or deactivate pan
sensing feature and the dual element pan sizing features (Fig. 1).
The LED light located above the SensaCook TM pad (Fig. 1) will indicate when this feature isactive. Ifthe feature isactive,
any cooking zone marked SensaCook TM Element (Fig. 2) will begin to heat only when properly sized metallic cookware is
placed on one of the surface cooking zones.
If metallic cookware isnot used or if metallic
cookware is not properly centered on the cooking
zone, the surface element control display will flash
the power level setting indicating that the cooking
zone is not heating. When proper cookware has
been detected, the surface element control will
display the power level without flashing.

Pan Sensing
If the SensaCook TM feature is active and the
cookware is removed from heating zone while
cooking, the SensaCook TM feature will deactivate
the affected cooking zone and will stop heating (the
display will flash the power level). If the cookware is
not placed back on the cooking zone within 1
minute, the cooktop control will provide a reminder
beep. If the cookware is not placed back on the
cooking zone within 5 minutes the SensaCook TM
feature will completely deactivate the affected
cooking zone and flush the previous power level
setting automatically.
