Choosing The Correct Cookware To Use
Using the correct
size cookware
Pans that are not ferrous or are too small will not allow
the induction element 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 for more than 25 seconds,
the power 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 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.
