How Does it Work?
The induction cooking process heats a cooking vessel through the use of magnetic induction, instead of by thermal
rapid increases in temperature can be achieved and maintained.
In order for the process to work, a cooking vessel must be made of, or contain, a magnetic metal such as cast iron
or some stainless steels.You can test the bottom of your cookware with a magnet to determine if it will be compatible
with The Copper Chef Induction CooktopTM.

Induction Cooking Technology
Induction CookingTechnology is based on magnetic
principles. Compatible cookware must have an (iron-
based, magnetic) bottom. Some cookware is made of
naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others
are rendered magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a
ferrous metal within the base.
Note: copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not
work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots
that function best tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
Note:
and the cooktop will not generate heat if incompatible
cookware is used.

Induction Cooktop Tips
When food comes to the boil, reduce
the temperature setting. Using a lid
will reduce cooking times and save
energy by retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat
to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and
reduce the setting when the food has
heated through.
Simmering & Cooking Rice

Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a
setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly
in the time recommended.
Stir-Frying
When stir-frying be careful to lift the pan clear of the surface if tossing the
ingredients. Sliding the pan across the cooktop surface may scratch it.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Only pots with a “ferrous” or iron composition will work on induction.That means items made of glass, copper,
ceramic, or aluminum will not work. Cast iron, enamelware, and some stainless steel will work.
A great test is the magnetic test. Take any magnet and see if it is attracted to the base of your pot.
Some pots are advertised as induction capable.You might want to go shopping with your magnet.
Induction cooking is so much more powerful than any other method so you need to become accustomed
problem for new users is that in the beginning they may overcook food as they don’t realize how much heat
is generated so quickly. If you are new to induction cooking we recommend practicing by boiling a pot of water.
settings.You will soon get a good feel for how quickly the pot heats up. This absolutely can change the way
you cook – if you are busy and you need to attend to another task, for example answer the door or phone,
you should set the Unit to OFF until you return. When you return, the pot heats up instantly.
The cooktop itself barely gets warm, except directly beneath the cooking vessel. As soon as the cooking vessel is
the pot takes a bit of time to cool… avoid touching it.
The cooktop is made of ceramic glass, as on “smoothtop” stoves. Ceramic glass is very strong
and tolerates very high temperatures and sudden temperature changes. Ceramic glass is very tough,
but if you drop a heavy item such as a cast iron skillet, it may crack. In everyday use however it is highly unlikely

Care & Cleaning
• Note: Unplug the AC Power Cord prior to cleaning The Copper Chef Induction
CooktopTM. Do not use any caustic cleaning agents or abrasive scrubbing pads
on the Unit.
• To protect yourself from electric shock, NEVER immerse the device, or the AC Power
Cord in water or other liquids.
• Wipe off the ceramic plate with a warm, damp cloth and a mild, nonabrasive
soap solution.
• Wipe off the outer Unit housing and the Control Panel with a soft cloth or a
mild detergent.
• DO NOT use any petroleum products which will damage the outer Unit housing
and the Control Panel.
• DO NOT use/store any flammable, acid or alkaline materials or substances near
the device, as this may reduce the service life of the device and lead to deflagration
(fire) when the device is turned on.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cookware does not scrape across the surface
of the Cooktop. A scratched surface will not impair the use of the device.
• Make sure that the device is properly cleaned before storing it in a dry place.
• DO NOT
damage the Unit.
The Copper Chef Induction CooktopTM is easy to clean. It has a continuous
surface with no dirt traps, and the controls are touch-sensitive,
so there are no knobs to clean around. Because the surface doesn’t get
as hot as other electric cooktops, most spillage won’t bake on – although
you do have to be careful with sugar because it can burn on
and create an uneven surface.
