seconds and then turn off. If a pan is removed for
more than 25 seconds, the power will be shut off.
Cookware larger than the element ring may be used;
however, heat will only occur above the element.
For best results, the cookware must make FULL
contact with the glass surface.
Do not allow the bottom of the pan or cookware
to touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim or to
overlap the cooktop controls.
For best performance, match the pan size to the
element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner
will generate less power at any given setting.
Suitable Cookware
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for
better heat distribution and even cooking results.
Choose cookware made of magnetic stainless
steel, enamel coated cast iron, enameled steel
and combinations of these materials.
Some cookware is specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with induction cooktops.
Use a magnet to test if the cookware will work.
Flat-bottomed pans give best results. Pans with
rims or slight ridges can be used.
Round pans give best results. Pans with warped
or curved bottoms will not heat evenly.
For wok cooking, use a flat-bottomed wok. Do not
use a wok with a support ring.
