11 BEFORE SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS Pan Sensing Minimum and Maximum Pan Size When the cooktop is on, the cooking zones automatically detect when cookware is placed on the zone. The control for that zone will light up, making it easy to know which section of the control to use for that cooking zone. The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and maximum pan size for each cooking zone. For best results, use cookware that matches the size of the cooking zone. Figure 6 shows conditions that can prevent pan detection. If you remove a pan from an active cooking zone, the zone will turn off after 30 seconds. If the cooktop does not detect cookware in any zone for 30 seconds, the whole cooktop will turn off.

The inner ring on each cooking zone indicates the smallest pan size for the zone (Figure 8). The outer ring on the cooktop graphic indicates the largest pan size for that zone (Figure 9). Cookware that is too small for a zone may not activate the cookware detection sensor. Cookware that is much larger than a cooking zone will still cook, but may be slower and uneven. If your cookware is not a perfect match, it is best to use a zone a little smaller than the bottom of the cookware. 5" / 125mm 6.5" / 165mm • Cookware centered correctly on cooking zone. • Cookware not centered on cooking zone. 5" / 125mm 6.5" / 165mm • Flat pan bottom and straight sides. • Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides. • Pan rests completely and is level on the cooktop surface. • Pan bottom rests on cooktop edge.
