Introduction
Introduction
INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooktop is different from other types of cooktops.
Each cooking zone on the cooktop has an induction coil below it.
The coil induces a magnetic field in the pan, generating heat and
performing the cooking. The cooking zone itself does not
become hot; instead, it may absorb some heat from the pan. If
there is no pan on the cooking zone, the sensor detects this and
the induction coil is not energized.

The Field penetrates the
metal of the “Ferrous”
(magnetic- material)
cooking vessel and sets
up a circulating electric
current, which generates
heat.

How Induction Heating Works
How Induction Heating Works
The process described at is
called
“Eddy Current”. Most of the
Heating is from ‘Hysteresis’ which
means the resistance of the ferrous
material to rapid changes in
magnetization – but the idea is the
same; the heat is generated in the
cookware

IMPORTANT NOTES
• Remove all tape and packaging material before using the induction
cooktop. Destroy the plastic bags and carton after installing the
appliance. Never allow children to play with packing materials.
• The induction cooktop can induce strong magnetic fields that can
affect electronic circuits and interfere with portable radios and
cordless telephones.
• Do not place magnetically active objects (credit cards, computer
diskettes, cassettes, et al.) on or near the ceramic cooktop while it is
in use.
• Persons with pacemakers or similar medical devices should
exercise caution using or standing near an induction unit while it is
in operation, as the electromagnetic field may affect its operation.
Patients should consult their doctors or healthcare professionals
concerning their individual cases. T-6

Introduction
SELECTING COOKWARE
• The induction cooktop requires the use of cookware with magnetic
bases. These include steel, enameled steel, and cast iron. When
purchasing, look for cookware especially labeled by the manufacturer
as being suitable for use with induction cooktops.
• In principle, all cookware with a magnetic base is suitable for use
with the induction cooktop.
• Certain high-grade cookware made with multi-layered construction
(including T-Fal®, Revereware®, copper-clad, and others) are
suitable for induction cooktop use if they are so designated by the
manufacturer.
• To use specialty cookware (pressure cookers, woks, simmering
pans, etc.) follow the manufacturer’s instructions and avoid using
very thin pans.
• Some cookware produces unusual noises when used with the
induction cooktop. This is not a fault in the cooktop and will not
impair the function of cooktop or cookware in any way. T-6
