Using the correct size cookware
•
The Induction Cooking Zones require that you use pots and pans of a
minimum size or larger at each location. The inner ring of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct minimum pan size. The pan bottom must fully
cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur.
•
The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the
maximum pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure
the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the
Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
NOTE
•
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active
Cooking Zones but is too small, the affected Cooking Zone display will flash
and the pan will not heat.
•
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone,
will be displayed. After 1 minute, the corresponding cooking
zone will turn off.
Pot and pan sizes
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking
zone.

Operating noises
You may hear the following operational noises:
•
Cracking noises : You may hear a cracking noise when you are using cookware
made of two or more materials.
•
Whistling : A whistling noise occurs when both back burners are in use.
This is caused by vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the weight or
material of the cookware or the type of food you are cooking. (The noise can
be reduced by using thicker cookware.)
•
Humming : You may hear a low humming when you set an element to a high
power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will
disappear when cooktop is turned off.
•
Clicking : Electric switches are operating.
•
Hissing, Buzzing : You may hear a fan noise during cooktop operation. You
may continue to hear it even after the cooktop is turned off.
This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the temperature inside the cooktop.
It will automatically shut itself off after a short period of time.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.
