BEFORE YOU CALL Problem Cause / Solution Cooktop Problems Surface element is too hot or not hot enough. Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting. The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking zone by pressing the + key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the High (H) setting. The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will influence the setting needed for best cooking results. The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in a cook zone. The light will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently Surface element does not heat or does not heat evenly. Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for element needed. Be sure to use the correct cookware material type for induction cooking. Use cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction cooking. If you're 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. Use quality heavier gauge cookware. Cookware in the cooking zone is Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting. too hot or not hot enough. Cooking zone does not heat cookware. Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for the element needed. Incorrect cookware used. See "Cooking Recommendations" on page 9. Cookware is the wrong size or incorrectly positioned in the cooking zone. See "Pan Sensing" on page 13. Cooking zone does not heat evenly. Cookware is warped. Use only flat, evenly balanced cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and mediumweight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily. Cooking zone control does not work More than one control was pressed at once. Make sure that when trying to set the control, nothing is touching another control. Water or soil on the control panel. Clean the control panel. The number in the setting indicator is flashing.

BEFORE YOU CALL

Cooktop Problems

Surface element is too hot or not

hot enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

The Power Boost (P) setting is only available immediately after activating a cooking

zone by pressing the + key. The cooktop will remain in Power Boost for up to 10

minutes. After 10 minutes, the cooking zone will automatically change to the High (H)

setting.

The size and type of utensil used and the amount and type of food being cooked will

influence the setting needed for best cooking results.

The Hot Surface indicator light will turn on when heat is detected in a cook zone. The

light will remain on until the heated surface area has cooled sufficiently

Surface element does not heat or

does not heat evenly.

Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for element needed.

Be sure to use the correct cookware material type for induction cooking. Use

cookware specifically identified by the manufacturer to use for induction cooking.

If you’re 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.

Use quality heavier gauge cookware.

Cookware in the cooking zone is

too hot or not hot enough.

Incorrect surface control setting. Adjust power level setting.

Cooking zone does not heat

cookware.

Be sure the correct surface control is turned on for the element needed.

Incorrect cookware used. See

“Cooking Recommendations”

page 9

Cookware is the wrong size or incorrectly positioned in the cooking zone. See

“Pan

Sensing”

page 13

Cooking zone does not heat

evenly.

Cookware is warped. Use only flat, evenly balanced cookware. Flat pans heat better

than warped pans.

Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy and medium-

weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn

easily.

Cooking zone control does not

work

More than one control was pressed at once. Make sure that when trying to set the

control, nothing is touching another control.

Water or soil on the control panel. Clean the control panel.

The number in the setting

indicator is flashing.
