LG LSIL6336XE how to check how well your cookware heats on an induction element
To see how efficiently a pan heats on an induction element.
Steps
- Turn off all cooktop elements.
- Put enough water in the pan to cover the bottom, and place it on the center of the element that suits its size.
- Set the power level on that element to 10.
- Press Control Lock and the number of the element at the same time for at least 3 seconds. The indicator shows in the display for 5 seconds.
- Read the indicator: 0 to 3 is low compatibility, 4 to 8 is medium and 9 to 10 is high. For efficient cooking use cookware with an indicator of 9 or above.
The indicator is not available when more than two cooktop elements are in use, does not apply to the Warm Zone and is for reference only. Cookware with a low indicator can still be used safely but may heat less efficiently or make noise.
