SUITABLE INDUCTION COOKWARE, WHEN USING
INVISACOOK WITH YOUR COUNTERTOP
17
Compatible Cookware
The #1 recommended Cookware is the Full-Clad
Stainless-Steel pans, which when you take a magnet to
it, it will stick firmly to the bottom of the pan, as well as
to the sides. These Full-Clad or Tri-Clad Pans are what
we recommend using when cooking with Invisacook
along with your InvisaMat. See here Image of the Tri-
Clad Pan.
AVOID THESE INDUCTION PANS
Aluminum, all-copper, or glass cookware will not work
unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic
properties. Many manufacturers have started adding a
magnetic layer to the bottom of these pans, which you
will see this look on the bottom of the Pan (See Image
on Right) which will induct, but very slowly due to its
Thin Piece of induction metal. Avoid using these for
best performance of cookware.
Testing for Compatibility
To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction
stove, hold a magnet to the bottom.
- If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware
will work on an induction cooktop.
- If the magnet grabs the pan softly, you may not have
good success with it on your cooktop.
- If there is no pull on the magnet, it doesn't contain
the right metals and will not generate heat.
Note: Many manufacturers have started putting an
"induction compatible" symbol on the bottom of their
cookware or note compatibility on the packaging. The
symbol often looks like a horizontal a coil.

Child-safe system
The cooking unit features an anti-activation device to prevent
children from turning on the cooking areas or placing their hands on
the surface. It is the key lock button on the controller.
Turning the device off and on
The Invisacook cooking unit should be off.
To turn the device on and off press the indicators (in the center) with
the pad (not with the tip) of your finger for 2 to 3 seconds. If nothing
happens lift your finger and repeat the operation.
Automatic child-safe system
The child-safe system activates automatically when the cooking unit
is turned off.

The tips and alerts provide in this chapter serve as
assistance for the correct cleaning and maintenance of
the InvisaCook Surface.
COOKING A R E A
Cleaning
Clean the cooking area each time it is used. This will prevent stuck-on food remains from
burning. Do not clean the cooking area until it has cooled down sufficiently.
Use cleaning products which are suitable for counter-tops. Check the information on the
packaging of the cleaning products or just use soap and water if there are no stuck-on
remains of food.
A sponge may be used taking care not to discolor the cooking areas.

Maintenance
and cleaning

NORMAL OPERATING NOISE
INVISACOOK heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields
which ensure the heat is generated directly in the base of the cookware. These
recipients, depending on the composition of the same, may emit certain noises or
vibrations as described below:
A deep humming noise like that of a transformer
This noise occurs when cooking at high powers levels. It is caused by the amount of
energy being transferred from the cooking plate to the recipient. This noise disappears or
diminishes when the power level isreduced.
A low whistling noise
This noise occurs when the cookware is empty. It disappears when water or food is
placed in the cookware.
A crackling noise
This noise arises in cookware which are composed of different layer materials. It is due
to the vibrations produced in the surfaces joining the different layers of materials.
This noise comes from the cookware. The intensity of the noise may vary in
accordance with the amount and manner in which the food is cooked.
A loud whistling noise
This noise occurs above all in cookware composed of different layers of materials as soon
as they are placed under maximum heating power and in two cooking areas at the same
time.
This whistling noise disappears or diminishes as soon as the power level is reduced.
The noise of the fan
The Invisacook unit should operate at a controlled temperature to ensure the correct use
of the electronic system. As such, the unit is equipped with a fan which turns itself on
when the temperature read is high. The fan may also work due to safety, after the unit has
been turned off, if the temperature is stilltoo high.

Energy saving tips
•Always use the corresponding lid of each pan. Cooking without a lid
requires far more energy. Use a glass lid to enable you to see thefood
without removing it.
•Use Cookware with InvisaMAT and flat bases. Bases which are not flat
consume more energy.
•The diameter of the recipient base can be the same as the size of the
cooking area.
InvisaCook-Ware manufacturers usually state the diameter of the
cookware, which is generally bigger than the diameter of the base of
the unit.
•Use a small pan or pot for small amounts. A larger pan with minimal
contents consume much more energy.
•Use as little water as possible when cooking. This saves energy and
conserves the vitamins and minerals of vegetables.
•Cooking at excessively high temperatures wastes energy.
