Abstract: A cooktop includes a burner, a power delivery module including a burner, an actuator for selectively heating the burner, and an audible alert module. The cooktop further includes a control system configured to detect a presence of a cooking vessel with a detection signal from the power delivery module and determine if a location of the cooking vessel is centered on the burner within a first threshold distance. The control system is further configured to, if the location of the cooking vessel is not centered within the first threshold distance, prevent the actuator from selectively heating the burner and generate a first audible alert with the audible alert module.
