Improp-erly selected utensils will not cook efficiently orevenly. All utensils used on an induction cooktopMUST be magnetic (must attract and hold a magnet).Select cooking utensils that are specifically identi-fied for use with induction cooktop. Utensils with poormagnetic conduction will not heat properly, may causevibration or cause the no pan detected light to comeon.• Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped withsurface units of different sizes. The cookware musthave heavier flat bottoms and the diameter should belarge enough to cover the surface unit heating ele-ment. Using cookware that is a lot smaller than thecooking zone wastes energy and may cause the “nopan detected” light to come on and shut off power tothe cooking zone.• Choose cookware that matches the amount of foodbeing prepared and closely matches the diameterof one of the cooking zones. Use tight fitting lids toretain heat, odors and steam.Do not use:• Cooking utensils that have bottoms that are rounded,convex or concave.• Utensils that are smaller in diameter than the cookingzone being used.• Utensils made of materials that are poor heat conduc-tors.• Griddle plates that cover more than one cooking zone.• Dirty pans or pans with greasy build-up.Improper utensils will not heat properly, wobble and maycause vibration.Operating the CooktopOptimal Pan SizeCooking zoneCorrect IncorrectCooking zone
