How induction cooking works. ge.com
The elements beneath the cooking
sur ace produce a magnetic ield that
causes the electrons in the errous
metal pan to vibrate and produce
heat.
The cooking sur ace itsel does not
heat. Heat is produced in the cooking
pan, and cannot be generated until a
pan is placed on the cooking sur ace.
When the element is activated, the pan
begins to heat immediately and in turn
heats the contents o the pan.
Magnetic induction cooking requires
the use o cookware made o errous
metals—metals to which magnets will
stick, such as iron or steel.
Use pans that it the element size.
The pan must be large enough or the
sa ety sensor to activate an element.
The cooktop will not start i a very
small steel or iron utensil (less than
the minimum size across the bottom) is
placed on the cooking sur ace when
the unit is turned on—items such as
steel spatulas, cooking spoons, knives
and other small utensils.
Min. Size
Each cooking element requires a MINIMUM pan
size. I the pan is properly centered, and o the
correct material, but is too small or the cooking
element, the element cannot be activated. The
display will lash “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 sur ace.
Do not allow the bottom o the pan or cookware to
touch the surrounding metal cooktop trim or to
overlap the cooktop controls.
For best per ormance, match the pan size to the
element size. Using a smaller pot on a larger burner
will generate less power at any given setting.

For Best Results
■Do not place wet pans or lids on the
cooking sur ace or induction rings.
■Do not place wet ingers on the glass
cooktop. Wipe up spills on the controls
with dry hands.
■Do not use woks with support rings. This
type o wok will not heat on an induction
element.
■Use only a lat-bottomed wok, available
rom many cookware manu acturers.
The bottom o the wok should match the
diameter o the induction ring to insure
proper contact.
■Some special cooking procedures
require speci ic cookware such as
pressure cookers, deep- at ryers, etc.
Cookware with lat bottoms that match
the size o the sur ace element being
used will produce the best results.
Do not place wet pans
on the glass cooktop.
Do not use woks with support
rings on the glass cooktop.
Use lat-bottomed woks
on the glass cooktop.
ge.com
Use quality cookware with heavier
bottoms or better heat distribution
and even cooking results. Choose
cookware made o magnetic stainless
steel, enamel coated cast iron,
enameled steel and combinations
o these materials.
Some cookware is speci ically
identi ied by the manu acturer or use
with induction cooktops. Use a magnet
to test i the cookware will work.
Flat-bottomed pans give best results.
Pans with rims or slight ridges can be
used.
Round pans give best results. Pans
with warped or curved bottoms will
not heat evenly.
For wok cooking, use a lat-bottomed
wok. Do not use a wok with a support
ring.
Cookware “noise”
Slight sounds may be produced by
di erent types o cookware. Heavier
pans such as enameled cast iron
produce less noise than a lighter
weight multi-ply stainless steel pan.
The size o the pan, and the amount
o contents, can also contribute to
the sound level.
When using adjacent elements that are
set at certain power level settings,
magnetic ields may interact and
produce a low whistle or intermitted
"hum". These noises can be reduced or
eliminated by lowering or raising the
power level settings o one or both o
the elements. Pans that completely
cover the element ring will produce less
noise.
A low “humming” noise is normal
particularly on high settings.

Power Sharing
Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate
heating zones. The right and le t side cooking zones
are powered by separate and independent induction
generators. One generator controls 2 elements, or two
cooking zones within a heating section share the power
o one generator.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones. The
right and le t side have separate cooking zones and the
large center element is another separate cooking zone.
Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the
same cooking zone are activated and one element is
set or Boost (H). The element that is not set or Boost
will change to a lower power level. This is called
Power Sharing. When Boost operation is complete
(10 minutes), the other element may be reset to any

Note: Flat-bottomed canners are
required for glass cooktops.
When canning with water-bath or
pressure canner, larger-diameter pots
may be used. This is because boiling
water temperatures (even under
pressure) are not harm ul to the cooktop
sur aces surrounding the sur ace
elements.
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE-
DIAMETER CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE-
DIAMETER POTS FOR FRYING OR BOILING
FOODS OTHER THAN WATER. Most syrup
or sauce mixtures—and all types o
rying—cook at temperatures much
higher than boiling water. Such
temperatures could eventually harm
the glass cooktop sur aces.
Be sure the canner its over the
center o the sur ace element.
I your cooktop or its location does
not allow the canner to be
centered on the sur ace element,
use smaller-diameter pots or good
canning results.
Flat-bottomed canners must be
used. Do not use canners with
langed or rippled bottoms (o ten
ound in enamelware) because
they don’t make enough contact
with the sur ace elements and take
a long time to boil water.
When canning, use recipes
and procedures rom reputable
sources. Reliable recipes and
procedures are available rom
the manu acturer o your canner;
manu acturers o glass jars or
canning, such as Ball and Kerr
brand; and the United States
Department o Agriculture
Extension Service.
Remember that canning is a
process that generates large
amounts o steam. To avoid burns
rom steam or heat, be care ul
when canning.
NOTE: If your house has low voltage,
canning may take longer than expected,
even though directions have been
carefully followed. The process
time will be shortened by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
( 2) starting with HOT tap water for
fastest heating of large quantities
of water.
CAUTION:
■Safe canning requires that harmful
microorganisms are destroyed and
that the jars are sealed completely.
When canning foods in a water-bath
canner, a gentle but steady boil must
be maintained for the required time.
When canning foods in a pressure
canner, the pressure must be
maintained for the required time.
■After you have adjusted the controls,
it is very important to make sure the
prescribed boil or pressure levels are
maintained for the required time.
■Since you must make sure to
process the canning jars for the
prescribed time, with no interruption
in processing time, do not can on any
cooktop surface element if your
canner is not flat.
