Hello, I love my induction cooktop. It has a double element which is a 7" element and an 11" element. I looked in the manual and can't find an answer to this question:

If I put a large pan on the element, does the larger area of this double element automatically sense it? Or do I need to make some kind of selection with the control panel?

I put a large saute pan with a 1/2 inch of water and watched it come to a boil. I just can't tell if the larger element is on or just the smaller one because most of the action is in the smaller area. Initially it formed a smaller ring of boiling action before he whole pan was boiling. I couldn't clearly see if the large element was really activated.

Anyone know?
