Can this induction range handle any pan capacity?
Most induction ranges do not have specified weight or pan capacities, but make sure to check the manual. The key to ensuring your range works properly and does not get damaged by too much weight is to use a pan with a bottom diameter that does not exceed the burner's diameter. Using a larger pan or pot, such as a stock pot, will lessen the effectiveness of the range and the quality of your food. Please note a warped or uneven bottom, a very dirty pan/pot bottom, or a chipped or cracked pot/pan might cause error codes.
Does this unit stop heating when the timer is up?
No, while the unit will beep to let the user know the set time has expired, it will remain heating after the timer is up.
How and when should I prepare this unit’s cutout for installation?

How does ambient temperature affect this induction range?
Do not install in areas where other equipment can exhaust directly into the induction range. All models require adequate unrestricted intake and exhaust air ventilation for proper operation of the controls.
