USING YOUR COOKTOP
CHOOSING THE CORRECT COOKWARE TO USE
Using the correct size cookware
The induction coils require a minimum pan size to function
properly. If the pan is removed from the element for more
than 25 seconds or not detected the ON indicator for that
element will flash and then turn 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.
