sides and 100cm of clear space height wise is advisable.
INTRODUCTION TO INDUCTION COOKING:
Induction cooking is a cooking method which a cooking vessel (pot or pan) is heated by
magnetic induction rather than thermal conduction from a flame of electrical heating element
on a traditional stove top.
A magnetic field is generated from the coils under the surface of the cook top and heat is
transferred directly into the pots and pans. The appliance applies the heating principle of the
magnetic field inducing the whorl electric current. A whorl electric current is a spiral or circular
pattern of electric currents. It utilses the magnetic field produced by the current passing the
loop when the magnetic force line passes the bottom of the cooking vessel. It will produce
numerous whorl electric currents what will heat the cooking vessel and the food inside it
rapidly.
The cooking vessel used on an induction cooker must be made of or contain a ferromagnetic
steel such as cast iron or some stainless steels.
SUITABLE POTS/PANS FOR USE WITH THE INDUCTION COOKER:

Use iron, cast iron, stainless steel (with high steel content) pots or pans with the induction
cooker.
Ensure the diameter is between 12cm-26cm.
Ensure that the pots or pans have a flat base.
Stainless steel pot Iron skillet Cast iron pot Iron/Steel frying pan
Enamel ware Stainless steel or Enamel pot Iron pan
UN-SUITABLE POTS/PANS FOR USE WITH THE INDUCTION COOKER
Ceramic pot Anti-heating glass pan/pot Pot with curved base
Pot with legs Diameter less than 12cm Alloy with low iron content
The induction cooker has an automatic pot checking feature which will not allow the appliance
to operate if the pot or pan being used is not compatible. When the power button is pressed,
the appliance will not operate. You will need to change to a different pot or pan which is
suitable for use with the induction cooker.
