Cookware for Induction Cooktop

Using the correct size cookware
Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow
the induction elements to turn on, and the ON indicator
for that element location will flash for 25 seconds and
then turn off. If a pan is removed from or not centered on
the induction coil for more than 30 seconds, the power for
that element will be shut 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.
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 or 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.
Cookware "Noise"
Slight sounds may be produced by different types
of cookware. Heavier pans such as enameled cast
iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply
stainless steel pan. The size of the pan, and the amount
of contents, can also contribute to the sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power
level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce
a low whistle or intermittent "hum". These noises can be
reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power
level settings of one or both of the elements. Pans that
completely cover the element ring will produce less noise.
Power Control
If a surface unit is on power level H (high), for an
extended period of time or if multiple surface units are
on, there may be a slight reduction in power to the
surface unit. Water under pans may also cause the
controls to reduce the power delivered to the cookware.

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.

Pan Size
Use the minimum size pan shown
for each cooking element.
NOTE: The warming zone is NOT an induction element
and will work with flat bottomed cookware that is NOT
ferrous.
Use flat-bottomed pans.
Use a griddle.
Use a flat-bottomed wok.
A low "humming" noise is normal particularly on high
settings.
Sounds you may here: You may hear a slight "Buzz"
when cooking with Hi mode. This is normal. The sound
depends on the type of pot being used. Some pots will
"Buzz" louder depending on the material. A "Buzz" sound
may be heard if the pan contents are cold. As the pan
heats, the sound will decrease. If the power level is
reduced, the sound level will go down.
