• The minimum pot or pan diameter recommended is 5” (13 cm).
Use of pots or pans as small as 4” (10 cm) is possible but not

recommended.
• Remember to use the proper size cookware for the size element

chosen. Smaller cookware should be used for smaller elements and
larger cookware should be used for larger elements.

internal temperature inside the cooktop may rise, causing the cooktop
to turn off.
