INDUCTION COOKING ZONES Pan sensing The cooking zone sensors located below the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions are met before the induction cooking zones can operate. The cooking zone display windows may display a pan sensing error message. If a cooking zone is activated and no cookware is detected, the affected induction cooking zone display window will flash with the last power level request setting (See Fig. 1). If the cookware does not meet the correct conditions, the cooking zones may not heat. Correct • Cookware base material has good magnetic characteristics. Incorrect • Cookware base material is non-magnetic. • Cookware centered correctly on cooking zone. • Cookware not centered on cooking zone. Fig. 1 The conditions that may generate a flashing error message are illustrated in Figure 2. Use Figure 2 as a guide to help to correct the problem or problems before attempting to reactivate any of the cooking zones. If the problem or problems are not corrected, the affected cooking zone will automatically deactivate after 3 minutes. NOTE It is recommended that you lower the requested power level setting before correcting the pan sensing message. • Flat pan bottom and straight sides. • Curved or warped pan bottoms or sides. • Pan size meets or exceeds the recommended minimum size for cooking zone. • Pan does not meet the minimum size required (too small) for cooking zone. • Pan rests completely and is level on the cooktop surface. • Pan bottom rests on cooktop edge. • Pan is properly balanced. • Heavy handle tilts pan.
