Q: QuestionDoes this cooktop have smart sensors for the pans? Meaning, will the cooktop adjust to a smaller pan placed over an induction zone, or will a smaller pan cause the zone to turn off prematurely because of a detected mismatch?

Asked 1 month ago by Frank.

• A:Answer This induction cooktop does have a Pan Size Sensor. The induction coils require a minimum pan size to function properly. Cookware larger than the element ring may be used; however, heat will only occur above the element. For best performance, match the pan size to the element size. Using a smaller pot on a large burner will generate less power at any given setting.
