Use quality cookware in good condition
The cookware used with the cooktop surface should have at bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface of the Cooking Zone. Check for atness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of the cookware. Be sure to follow all the recommendations for using cookware.
Also remember to
Use cookware made with the correct material for induction cooking. See "Cookware for induction cooking zones" on page 26.
Use quality cookware with heavier bottoms for better heat distribution. This
provides for more even cooking results.
The pan size should match the amount of food being prepared.
Do not let pans boil dry. This may cause permanent damage in the form of
breakage, fusion, or marring that can affect the ceramic cooktop. (This type of damage is not covered by your warranty).
Do not use dirty pans with grease buildup. Always use pans that are easy to clean after cooking.
CAUTION
The Cooking Zones may appear to be cool while turned ON and after they have been turned OFF. The glass surface may be HOT from residual heat transferred from the cookware and burns may occur.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT COOKWARE or PANS directly with your hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect your hands from burns.
DO NOT SLIDE cookware across the cooktop surface. Doing so may permanently damage the appearance of the ceramic cooktop.

Using the correct size cookware

The Induction Cooking Zones require that you use pots and pans of a
minimum size or larger at each location. The inner ring 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 thicker outer ring at each Cooking Zone is helpful to determine the maximum pan size. After centering the cookware on the cooktop, make sure the cookware does not extend more than 1/2" beyond the thicker line on the Cooking Zone. The pan must fully contact the glass surface without the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
NOTE
If a pan made of the correct material is centered properly on any of the active Cooking Zones but is too small, the affected Cooking Zone display will ash and the pan will not heat.
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the cooking zone, zone will turn off.

Pot and pan sizes

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

Operating noises

You may hear the following operational noises:
Cracking noises : You may hear a cracking noise when you are using cookware made of two or more materials.
Whistling : A whistling noise occurs when both back burners are in use. This is caused by vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the weight or material of the cookware or the type of food you are cooking. (The noise can be reduced by using thicker cookware.)
Humming : You may hear a low humming when you set an element to a high power setting. This sound is generated by energy transmission, and it will disappear when cooktop is turned off.
Clicking : Electric switches are operating.
Hissing, Buzzing : You may hear a fan noise during cooktop operation. You
may continue to hear it even after the cooktop is turned off. This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the temperature inside the cooktop. It will automatically shut itself off after a short period of time.
These noises are normal and do not indicate any defects.

Using suitable induction cookware

Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware and the cookware is labelled as suitable by the cookware manufacturer.
Better pans produce better results
You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and at as possible.
When buying new pots or pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base. Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. You can scratch the ceramic cooktop permanently if you slide a pot or pan with a damaged base across the surface.
When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).
If you want to use a special type of pot or pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering pan, or a wok, please follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points:
Always position pots and pans before switching on the cooking zone.
Dirty cooking zones and pan bases
Right!
Wrong!
Wrong!
increase power consumption.
When possible, position lids rmly on pots and pans so that the lids cover them completely.
Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time and use the residual heat to keep food warm.

Temperature detection

If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones exceeds the safety level, then the cooking zone will automatically reduce the heat to a lower power level. When you have nished using the cooktop, the cooling fan will continue to run until the cooktop’s electronics have cooled down. The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
