Before SETTING setting SURFACE surface CONTROLS controls BEFORE 13 What is Electromagnetic Induction? Induction cooking uses electromagnets to create heat in compatible cookware. Below each cooking zone on an induction cooktop, there is a copper coil. When the cooking zone is turned on, the electricity turns the coil into a type of magnet that heats metal cookware in the cooking zone. Induction Features Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the cooktop, induction offers several advantages.
Before setting surface controls Using Proper Cookware The Magnet Test The size and type of cookware used will influence the heat setting needed for best cooking results. Be sure to follow the recommendations for using proper cookware as illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2. To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it (see Figure 3). Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware (see Figure 1).
Before setting surface controls Pan Sensing 15 Minimum and Maximum Pan Size Induction cooking zones require pans of proper size in order to activate. The cooktop graphics are guides to minimum and maximum pan size for each cooking zone. Sensors beneath the cooktop surface require that certain cookware conditions be met before an induction cooking zone will operate. If a cooking zone is turned on and conditions are wrong, the setting in the zone display will flash.
Setting SURFACE SETTING Surface CONTROLS Controls Cooktop Display Windows Lockout Window Message (-) The range backguard provides a digital window for each of the cooking zones located on the cooktop. Power levels and messages are easily monitored and controlled using the window displays in combination with the corresponding controls. The (-) message will appear in all the surface control displays whenever the Lockout or Self-clean feature is active.
