The ceramic cooktop has inductor elements located
below the surface of the glass. The design of the
ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the inductor
element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the
pan matches the size of the element outline on the
cooktop.Onlyat-bottomcookwareshouldbeused.
Heat may be transferred from the cookware to the
ceramic glass and the areas surrounding the elements
may become hot enough to cause burns. The type
and size of cookware, the number of inductor elements
in use and the settings, are all factors that will affect
the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond
the surface elements
The magnetic Cooking Zone sensors located below
the cooktop surface require the use of cookware
made with magnetic material in order to start the
heating process on any of the Cooking Zones.
Whenpurchasingpans,lookforcookwarespecically

cooktops. If you are 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.
It is recommended to always use heavier high quality
stainless steel cookware on your Induction Cooktop
surface. This will greatly reduce the possibility of
developing scratches on the ceramic surface.
Even quality cookware can scratch the cooktop
surface, especially if cookware is slid over the ceramic
cooktop surface without being lifted up. Over time
sliding ANY type of cookware over the ceramic
cooktop will likely alter the overall appearance of the
cooktop. Eventually the buildup of scratches will make

appearance of the cooktop.
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The
Cooking Zones available on the Induction Cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each
location. The shorter marking of each Cooking Zone
is your guide to the correct MINIMUM pan size. The
pan bottom must FULLY cover the inner ring for
proper cooking to occur.
The longer marking at each Cooking Zone is helpful to
determine the pan MAXIMUM size. After centering the
cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware
does not extend more than 1/2” beyond the longer
marking on the Cooking Zone. The pan must make
FULL contact on the glass surface without the bottom
of the pan touching the metal cooktop trims.
NOTE: If a pan made of the correct material is
centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones
but is TOO SMALL, the circle around the digital part
of the display will stay off and the pan will not heat.
