02 INDUCTION COOKING
Surface cooking _17
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE
The 4 Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop 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 of 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 trims.
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.
BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP
Use Quality Cookware in Good Condition
The cookware used with the Induction Cooktop should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking
Zone. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using
cookware.
Also remember to:
Use cookware made with the correct material type for Induction Cooking. See the “Correct •
Cookware Type” in the “Before Using the Cooktop” section.
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution allowing for more even •
cooking results.
The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.•
Do not let pans boil dry.• This may cause permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusion,
or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your
warranty).
Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after •
cooking.
CAUTION
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been •
turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transfered from the
cookware and burns may occur.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands.• Always
use oven mitts or pot holders protect your hands from burns.
CAUTION
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware across the cooktop surface.• Doing so may
permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.
