What To Do
Wrong pan type. Use a magnet to check that cookware is induction-
compatible. Use a flat induction-capable pan that meets the minimum
size for the element being used. See the Pan size and shape section.
Pan size is below the minimum size for the element. See the Pan size
and shape section. Use smaller element.
Center the pan in the cooking zone.
Cover pan with a lid until desired heat is obtained.
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Check to see that the control is set properly. Press On then + or -
Allow the internal fan to cool the cooktop. Check if pan boiled dry.

sure bottoms of cookware are clean before use, and use cookware with
smooth bottoms.

For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures
carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you
can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking
preference. NOTE: This adjustment affects Bake, and Convection Bake
temperatures; it will not affect Broil or Clean.
