INDUCTION COOKING ZONES Pan sensing-induction cooking zones (cont'd) Induction zone minimum cookware size The two induction cooking zones available on the cooktop require a minimum pan size to be used at each location. The smaller inner ring on each cooking zone (See Fig. 1) is your guide to the correct minimum pan size for that zone. The pan bottom must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking to occur. If a pan made of 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 until a larger pan that covers the inner ring is used. Power sharing - induction cooking zones Your cooktop has two induction cooking zones that share the same power inverter. If the user places cookware on both induction cooking zones and attempts to set hi power levels for both, one cooking zone position will automatically lower slightly. For example, if you are heating items using both cooking zones at the same time, the last cooking zone power level set will be maintained, while the first cooking zone set may experience a slight reduction in the power level setting (See Fig. 2). This is called power sharing. Induction cooking zones minimum pan size requirements 125 mm 5" min. Cookware bottom should not exceed ½" (13mm) from outer cooking zone rings. Induction cooking zones only 180 mm 7 ¼" min. Fig. 1 Induction zone maximum cookware size The thicker outer ring at each cooking zone is helpful to determine the pan maximum size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop induction zone, be sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" (13mm) beyond the outer circle for the zone (See Fig. 1). The pan must make full contact on the ceramic surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop edges. Fig. 2 IMPORTANT To avoid a power level change due to power sharing, always set the power level for the cooking zone you would prefer to maintain last. 16
