Using The Correct Size Cookware - GE PHP900 Manual Del Propietário

How induction cooking works.
Use the minimum size pan for
the element. The pan material is
correct if a magnet sticks to the
bottom.

The elements beneath the cooking
surface produce a magnetic field that
causes the electrons in the ferrous
metal pan to vibrate and produce
heat.
The cooking surface itself does not
heat. Heat is produced in the cooking
pan, and cannot be generated until a
pan is placed on the cooking surface.
When the element is activated, the pan
begins to heat immediately and in turn
heats the contents of the pan.

Pan Size
Magnetic induction cooking requires
the use of cookware made of ferrous
metals—metals to which magnets will
stick, such as iron or steel.
Use pans that fit the element size.
The pan must be large enough for the
safety sensor to activate an element.
The cooktop will not start if a very
small steel or iron utensil (less than
the minimum size across the bottom) is
placed on the cooking surface when
the unit is turned on—items such as
steel spatulas, cooking spoons, knives
and other small utensils.

Using the correct size cookware

Each cooking element requires a MINIMUM pan
size. If the pan is properly centered, and of the
correct material, but is too small for the cooking
element, the element cannot be activated. The
display will flash "F" along with the power level
selected.
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.
