INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING ENGLISH SELECTING COOKWARE SELECTING THE PROPER PAN SIZE • There are 4 Cooking Zones on the induction cooktop. Each element requires a minimum pan size to be used effectively. The inner ring of each cooking zone is a guide to correctly match the minimum pan Minimum size. The bottom of the pan must fully cover the inner ring for proper cooking pan size = 53⁄4″ (145 mm) to occur. • The thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the cookware on the Cooking Zone, 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 trim.
