Choosing The Correct Cookware To Use
Using the correct size cookware
The induction coils require a minimum pan size to
functionproperly.Ifthepanisremovedfromtheelement
formorethan25secondsornotdetectedtheON
indicator for that element will flash and then turn off.
Cookware larger than the element ring may be used;
however, heat will only occur above the element.
Forbestresults,thecookwaremustmakeFULLcontact
with the glass surface.
Donotallowthebottomofthepanorcookwaretotouch
the surrounding metal cooktop trim or to overlap the
cooktop controls.
For best performance, match the pan size to the element
size.Usingasmallerpotonalargerburnerwillgenerate
less power at any given setting.
Suitable Cookware
Usequalitycookwarewithheavierbottomsforbetter
heat distribution and even cooking results. Choose
cookware made of magnetic stainless steel, enamel
coated cast iron, enameled steel and combinations of
these materials.
Some cookware is specifically identified by the
manufacturerforusewithinductioncooktops.Usea
magnet to test if the cookware will work.
Flat-bottomedpansgivebestresults.Panswithrimsor
slight ridges can be used.
Roundpansgivebestresults.Panswithwarpedor
curved bottoms will not heat evenly.
Forwokcooking,useaflat-bottomedwok.Donotusea
wok with a support ring.
