Introduction to Induction
How does induction work?
An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on
magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic fields that induct a warming
reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the
food, not the cooktop surface.
What are the benefits of cooking with an induction cooktop?
EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient way to
cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more
energy-efficient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware,
induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover,
induction emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.
SAFE: There are no open flames and the surface remains cool to the touch.
FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when
compared to gas and electric.
EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly.
EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is flat and smooth; spills and overflows do not stick to
the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away.

ENGLISH
What type of cookware can I use on Induction?
Since Induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used must have a
ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of naturally
magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made to be magnetic by
“sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This layer in the base is
what will be affected by the magnetic field of the induction cooktop and distribute the
heat. Generally speaking, tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware
will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work
unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base.
The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction
cooktop, is to take a magnet and try to stick it to the bottom of your pot. If it sticks,
your pot will work on induction. You can even use the simplest decorative fridge
magnet for this test. Note that the magnet has to stick only to the bottom of the pot,
not necessarily the sides. If the sides are not magnetic but the bottom is, your pot will
still work on induction.
The pots that work best on induction are medium- to heavy-gauge.
Induction compatible cookware*
• Stainless Steel and Tri-Ply (note: not all types of stainless steel have magnetic
properties. Check with a magnet first)
• Enameled iron and steel

ENGLISH
General Safety Regulations
The product you have purchased is a state of the art induction cooktop. It adheres to all
of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric appliance,
there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accordance with
the instructions provided and only for its intended household use.
ATTENTION:
In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe the following
safety rules:
• Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands.
• Be sure to operate the unit on a flat, level and stable surface.
• Do not connect the induction cooktop to the same outlet with other household
appliances such as microwaves, etc. as it could overload the outlet and trip a
circuit breaker.
• If using an extension cord to connect the cooktop, please note that a damaged
extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. Always check your extension
cord for damage and be sure it is compliant with the required voltage. Be sure not
to place cord where people can trip over it.
• Please do not use cookware on the cook top that is more than 11-inches in
diameter.
• Please keep your cookware centered onto the induction cook top at all times. Do
not cover the display panel with the cookware or touch the silver edgings with the
cookware while the unit it hot as this will melt the unit.
• Never attempt to unplug the induction cooktop by pulling on the power cable.
• Do not move the induction cooktop during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it.
• Do not place any empty cookware on the induction cooktop while it is functioning.
An empty piece of cookware will heat up very rapidly and can cause material
damage or personal injury.
• Do not place any metal objects on the induction cooktop (other than the cookware
you intend to cook in).
• Check the power cable for damage from time to time. Never operate the induction
cooktop when the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows any signs of
defect, let a qualified electrician repair it.
• Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on the induction cooktop. A heated can
of food could explode. Only cook or heat food in induction compatible cookware.

5
ENGLISH
• Although the surface of the induction cooktop remains cool to the touch because
heat is transferred directly to the pot, please note that the residual heat from the
cookware will eventually warm up the cooking surface, especially the area directly
underneath the pot. Be careful when handling the cooktop after use and let it cool
down before storing.
• Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using
or standing near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic
field may affect the working of the pacemaker or similar medical device. We advise
consulting your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical device manufacturer
about your particular situation.
• Do not place any magnetized objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the glass
surface while the induction cooktop is in operation. The magnetic properties of
the unit can damage these items.
• In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminum foil or metal plates on
the cooking surface.
• Attention: Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots.
This may cause electric shock.
• Never use the induction cooktop when it is not functioning properly, shows signs
of damage or if it has been dropped.
• Do not leave the induction cooktop unsupervised during operation. Keep children
away from the induction cooktop. Children should be supervised at all times when

Troubleshooting
In order to ensure best results when using the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop,
read all of the operating instructions and safety regulations contained in this manual.
The following are practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may
experience when using the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop. If you cannot determine
the cause of the error and correct it, contact our customer service department by
calling 1.800.207.0806.
Problem: The unit keeps beeping and does not generate heat after the cookware
has been placed on the cooktop’s surface and the ON/OFF button
followed by the START button have been pressed.
Reason: The induction cooktop is not detecting the cookware. This could
occur because:
1. The bottom of the cookware is not flat.
2. The cookware is not induction compatible.
Solution: 1. All cookware used on an induction cooktop must have a
completely flat bottom. If your pot does not have a flat bottom
you will not be able to use it on the induction cooktop.
2. Check if the cookware you want to use is compatible with
induction by trying to stick a magnet to its bottom. If the magnet
doesn’t stick, the cookware will not work on an induction cooktop.
Try using a different pot.
Problem: I have a stainless steel pot; however, it does not work on my induction
cooktop.
Reason: Not all types of Stainless Steel are induction compatible, as some
do not have magnetic properties.
Usually stainless steel pots have an aluminum sandwich bottom, which
consists of one layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of
stainless steel. The top layer is usually 18/10 stainless steel which is not
magnetic, and the bottom layer is usually a layer of magnetic stainless
steel (also called “ferrous” or 18/0 stainless steel). This type of pot
will work on induction. However, if your pot is all 18/10 stainless steel
and does not have a sandwich bottom, it will not have the magnetic
properties needed to make it induction compatible.
Solution: If you are unsure whether your cookware is induction compatible,
check with a magnet first. If the magnet doesn’t stick, you will not be
able to use that particular pot on an induction cooktop.

15
ENGLISH
Problem: The touch control doesn’t react at all when you tap the buttons, or
doesn’t react to every touch.
Reason: These touch controls are not as sensitive to the touch as other touch
screens or touch pads found in household electronics. This is for
safety reasons, but also to allow spills to be wiped from the cooking
surface without changing the settings.
Solution: You have to apply a firm tap with your fingertip. Hold out your index
finger horizontally, about one inch above the button you are trying to
tap, and then tap quickly and firmly, lifting your finger once done.
Problem: The cooktop emits a buzzing noise when I place cookware on the
surface and start cooking.
Reason: A low buzzing noise is normal when operating an induction cooktop.
The buzzing sound indicates that the magnetic field is being generated
and the cookware is heating up. If you are cooking on power levels
1 or 2, the buzzing will be intermittent. On all other levels it will be
constant.
Solution: This is normal operation. As a general rule, the higher-quality
cookware you use (the thicker the bottom), the lower the buzzing
noise will be.
Problem: I have turned the cooktop off after cooking, but I can still hear the
fan working.
Reason: Even after the cooktop has been turned off, the internal fan will keep
working for a few seconds or minutes to finish cooling down the
interior of the cooktop.
Solution: This is normal operation. The fan will turn off by itself after the cooling
down process is complete. Do not unplug the unit before the fan is
off. If you must unplug the unit, make sure you let the unit cool down
completely before storing it.

16
ENGLISH
If the cooktop detects an internal / external error or a wrong connection, it will display
the error message with a code number on the display panel and the cooktop will stop
functioning. These code numbers will allow you identify the cause of the error and help
you find the solution to the problem. If the problem has been solved the error message
will disappear and you will be able to continue using your cooktop. If the error persists,
please call our customer service for assistance. You can reach us at 1-800-207-0806
