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 (See Fig. 21). Be sure to follow
all the recommendations for using
cookware as shown in Fig. 20.
Before Using the Cooktop
DO NOT SLIDE Cookware
across the cooktop surface. Doing so
may permanently damage the appearance
of the ceramic cooktop.
INCORRECT CORRECT
Induction Cookware Recommendations
• Cookware not centered on Cook-
ing Zone surface.
• Cookware centered correctly on
Cooking Zone surface.
• Curved or warped pan bottoms or
sides.
• Flat pan bottom & straight sides.
• Pan does not meet the minimum
size required for the Cooking Zone
used (See Fig. 19).
• Pan size meets or exceeds the
recommended minimum size for
the Cooking Zone (See Fig. 19).
• Pan bottom rests on cooktop trim
or does not rest completely on the
cooktop surface.
• Pan rests completely on the
Cooktop surface.
• Heavy handle tilts pan.
• Pan is properly balanced.
PLEASE NOTE - ANY one of the incorrect conditions listed above in
Fig. 20 may be detected by the sensors located below the ceramic

F F
F in the affected Cooking Zone display. Correct the problems
before attempting to activate the cooktop.
Also remember to:
• Use cookware made with the correct
material type for Induction Cooking (See
Fig. 18).
• 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.
