Cookware Heating Index
The cookware heating index can be used to
determine if a container will heat well on an
induction cooking zone.
• The heating index may vary due to conditions
such as voltage, cookware size, or cookware
temperature. Use cookware with a bottom
diameter that is suitable for the size of the
cooking zone.
• The heating index may vary depending on the
cooking zone.
• The cookware heating index displayed on this
product is based on internal manufacturer
standards. Environmental conditions may cause
inaccurate or variable results. Use the results
only as a reference point.
Using the Heating Index
1 Place the cookware on the cooking zone you
want to use and set the output level to 9.
2 Press and hold the corresponding cooking
zone button and Control Lock to display the
cookware heating index. The cookware
heating index turns off after 3 seconds.
• The higher the index, the better the cookware
heats up (rated from 0 to 10).
• If the index is low, check the material, size and
shape of the cookware base.
- Even if the cookware has an IH mark, if the
index is low it may not heat properly on this
appliance.
