Before Using the Cooktop 9 Use the correct cookware type The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the heating process on any of the Cooking Zones. When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking (See Fig. 1). Fig. 1 It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface. Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop. Minimum pan size requirements USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop require a MINIMUM pan size to be used 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 pan MAXIMUM 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 make FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trims. NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is TOO SMALL, the LEDs around the digital part of the display will start rotating around the affected Cooking Zone Display and the pan will not heat. NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2" (13mm) from outer Cooking Zone (Induction) rings NOTE: Pan bottom should not exceed 1/2" (13mm) from outer Cooking Zone (Induction) rings

Before Using the Cooktop
USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE TYPE
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below the cooktop surface
require the use of cookware made with magnetic material in order to start the
heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
When purchasing pans, look for cookware specifically identified by the
manufacturer for use with Induction cooktops. If you are not sure, use a
magnet to test whether the cookware type will work. If a magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the material type is correct for Induction cooking
(See Fig. 1).
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop surface.
This will greatly reduce the possibility of developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic cooktop
surface without being lifted up. Over time sliding
ANY
type of cookware over the ceramic cooktop will likely alter
the overall appearance of the cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make cleaning the surface difficult
and degrade the overall appearance of the cooktop.

MINIMUM PAN SIZE REQUIREMENTS
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE
- The Cooking Zones available on the
Induction Cooktop require a
MINIMUM
pan size to be used 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 pan
MAXIMUM
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 make FULL
contact on the glass surface without the
bottom of the pan touching the metal
cooktop trims.
NOTE:
If a pan made of the correct
material is centered properly on any of
the active Cooking Zones but is TOO
SMALL, the LEDs around the digital part
of the display will start rotating around
the affected Cooking Zone Display and
the pan will not heat.
NOTE:
Pan
bottom should
not exceed 1/2”
