Heatis produced in the cooking pan, and cannot begenerated until a pan is placed on the cookingsurface.When the element is activated, the pan begins toheat immediatelg and in turn heats the contentsof the pan.Magnetic induction cooking requires the useof cookware made of ferrous metals-metalsto which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel.Use pans that fit the element size.The pan mustbe large enough for the safetg sensor to activatean element.The cooktop will not start if a verg small steel oriron utensil {less than the minimum size acrossthe bottom)is placed on the cooking surfacewhen the unit is turned on-items such as steelspatulas, cooking spoons, knives and othersmall utensils.Use the minimum size pan for the element.The pan material is correct if a magnetsticks to the bottom.Using thecorrect sizecookwareEachcooking element requires a MINIMUMpan size.If the pan is properlg centered, and of the correctmaterial, but is too small for the cooking element,the element cannot be activated.
