Minimum and Maximum Pan Size
There are four cooking elements on the induction cooktop.
Each element requires a minimum pan size to be used
effectively. The inner ring of each cooking element is a guide to
the minimum pan size.
The bottom of the pan must fully cover the inner ring for proper
cooking to occur.
Minimum Pan Size:
5.5 in (140 mm)
Minimum Pan Size:
7.5 in (190 mm)
Use the cross that marks each cooking element to help
determine the maximum pan size. After centering the cookware
on the cooking element, the cookware should not extend more
than ½ʺ beyond the edge of the cross on the cooking element.
The pan must make full contact with the glass surface without
the bottom of the pan touching the metal cooktop trim.
If the correct induction cookware—centered on any of the
active cooking elements—is too small, the affected cooking
element's LED bar fluctuates and the pan does not heat.
Hot Cookware and Residual Heat
CAUTION
Unlike radiant surface elements, induction cooking
elements do not glow red when hot. You can be burned if
the glass surface is hot from the residual heat transferred
from the cookware. Do not touch hot cookware or pans.
Use oven mitts or potholders to protect hands from burns.
Home Canning
Read and observe the following precautions when home
canning. Read the information on the USDA (United
States Department of Agriculture) website and follow the
recommendations there for home canning procedures.
• Use only quality, flat-bottomed canners when home canning.
• Canners with ridges that radiate from the bottom center are
Minimum Pan Size:
9.5 in (245 mm)
• The diameter of the canner should not exceed the maximum
• Start with hot tap water to boil water more quickly. Bring
• It is best to can small amounts and keep the canner light
• Do not leave the water bath or pressure canners on high
• Alternate surface elements between each batch to allow the
CAUTION
Canning can generate large amounts of steam. Use
extreme caution to prevent burns. Raise the lid so that
steam is vented away from you. Safe canning requires
that harmful micro-organisms are destroyed and jars
are sealed completely. When using a water bath canner,
maintain a gentle but steady boil for the required time.
Use a ruler to check the bottom of the canner for flatness.
