Surface Cooking Tips
• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm).
Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not
recommended.
• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element
chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and
larger cookware should be used for larger elements.
Note: If ALL elements are turned to HI for a long period of time, the
internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop
to turn off.
