GE PHB925 - Profile 30 in. Induction Range User Manual

Youmustuseaferrouspanwhenusingtheinductioncoilson
thisrange.Thewarmingzoneisnotaninductioncoilandwill
workwithanytypeofcookware.Youcanverifyyourpanis
ferrousifamagnetstickstoit.Qualitycookwarewithheavy
bottomsmadeofcastiron,magneticstainlesssteeland
enameledsteelworkbest.Forbestresults,usepanswithflat
bottoms.Woksthatdonothaveflatbottomsinclosecontactto
theglasssurfacewillnotwork.Somepansaremadeespecially
forinductioncooking.
What Type of Pans Are Required?
Alowhummingnoiseisnormalwhenusinginductioncoils,
especiallyonhigherpowersettings.Heavyenamelcast-iron
potsproducelessnoisethanlightweightsteelpans.Theamount
ofcontentinthepanscanalsoaffectnoiselevel.Pansthat
completelycoverthegraphicsontheglasswillproduceless
noise.Watertrappedunderpanscanboil,causingthecookware
tovibrateorslideontheglasssurface.
Cookware “Noise”
Pan Size and Shape
Theinductioncoilsrequireaminimumpansizeinorderfortheelementtoturnon.
Inorderfortheinductioncoiltocorrectlydetermineifthepanislargeenough,itis
importantthatthepanbecenteredwithinthecirculargraphicsmarkedonthe
glasscookingsurface.Theminimumpansizethatwillworkforeachinductioncoil
isshownontheright.Pansthatarenotferrousoraretoosmallwillnotallowthe
inductioncoiltoturnon,andthepowerleveldisplayforthatcoillocationwillflash
for30secondsandthenturnoff.Ifapanisremovedfromtheinductioncoilfor
morethan30seconds,thepowerwillbeshutoff.Squarepanswillwork,although
roundpansthatmatchtheinductioncoilsizesworkbest.Cookwarelargerthan
thecooktopglassgraphicswillwork.Forbestresults,matchthepansizewith
thenearest-sizegraphicsontheglasscookingsurface.
Useaflat-bottomedwok.Useagriddle.Useflat-bottomedpans.
Boost Mode and Power
Sharing
PowerSharingisactivatedwhen
bothelementsinthesamecooking
zoneareactivatedandoneelement
issetforBoost(H).Theelement
thatisnotsetfor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powerlevel.Bothelementscan
operatesimultaneouslyatnormal
powerlevelsettingsof“L”to9.

Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Surface units do Improper cookware being used. •Wrongpantype.Useamagnettocheckthatcookwareis
not work properly or   induction-compatible.Useaflatinduction-capablepanthatmeets
flashing power setting   theminimumsizefortheelementbeingused.SeethePansizeand
   shapesection.
 Pan is too small. •Pansizeisbelowtheminimumsizefortheelement.SeethePan size
and shapesection.
 Pan not positioned correctly. •Centerthepaninthecookingzone.
Pan detection/sizing  Pan is improperly placed.  •Makesurethepaniscenteredonthecorrespondingsurfaceelement.

Before you call for service…
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR RIGHT
SIDE POWER SHARING
The elements on the right side share one
generator. Both elements can operate at
any non-Boost (level L to 9) power level
at the same time. When the large 11”
element is set for “H” or Boost, the smaller
element is automatically shut off and
cannot be activated. After 10 minutes,
Boost (H) will revert to power level 9.
At that time, the smaller element may be
activated and set for any power level.
