Cookware Compatibility Indicator
The cookware compatibility indicator shows how efficiently the cookware will heat on the induction cooktop elements.
Turn off all cooktop elements in use.
Put enough water in the cookware to cover the bottom. Place the cookware on the center of the desired cooktop element.
Select an element that is appropriate for the size of the cookware.
Set the power level on the selected element to 10.
Press Control Lock f and the number of the desired cooktop element( a through d ) at the same time for at least 3 seconds. The indicator g is shown on the display for 5 seconds. This test does not apply to the Warm Zone e .
Turn off all cooktop elements before starting to avoid getting a false result.
The indicator is not available if more than two cooktop elements are in use.
The cookware compatibility indicator is based on the manufacturer's internal standards and is for reference only.
The indicator may vary depending on the usage environment, power voltage and cookware temperature.
The indicator may vary from element to element even for the same type of cookware.
For efficient cooking, use cookware with an indicator of 9 or above.

If the indicator is low, check the base material, size and shape of the cookware. Cookware with a low indicator, even if it has an IH mark, may heat less efficiently or make noise when heated. This is normal, and the cookware can still be used safely.
