PIC Gold Specifications
Cooking Area
The heating surface is located inside the thicker gold ring. The minimum diameter of acceptable cookware is 3 inches.
Always place cookware in the center of the heating circle. You may use pans measuring up to the total width of the PIC Gold, which is
12 inches. However, in these situations heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. The PIC Gold is not recommended for pans
larger than 12 inches. There are no open ames or hot coils, the surface remains cool to the touch where not magnetically activated
and can accommodate weights up to 50 pounds.
PIC On The Go
For those cooking on the road or open water, the NuWave PIC
Gold requires up to 12.5 amps when used on an RV or boat
and uses up to 1500W of energy depending on the tempera-
ture and wattage setting. The appliance may be plugged into
any standard electrical outlet, but cannot operate on batteries.

Cooking Guide

Precision Induction Cooktop
Gold

Induction-Ready Cookware
There are three simple ways to check if your existing pots and
pans or future cookware purchases are compatible with the
NuWave PIC Gold:
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bot-
tom of a piece of cookware, that typically means the pot or
pan is induction-ready. However, there are instances when
a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties may not be strong
enough for the pot to work efciently with the PIC Gold.
2. Place a small amount of water in a pot or pan. If the vessel
is induction compatible, the water will begin to boil.
3. Look for the induction-ready symbol, which may be printed
on the bottom of the cookware.
The Magnet Method of determining
induction compatibility.
The Induction Ready symbol printed on most
induction-compatible cookware.
Troubleshooting Guide
E1 Error
An E1 reading typically means that your PIC Gold does not
detect
cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two reasons:
1. The induction coils contained within the PIC Gold will only
work when they are in direct contact with a piece of cook-
ware. To maintain your appliance’s effectiveness, always
ensure that it rests on a at surface and set the cookware
on the PIC Gold before pressing Start.
2. An E1 message may also occur if your chosen cookware
is not induction-ready.
When an E1 error occurs the PIC will beep every 2 seconds
until it detects a pot. If the PIC has not detected a pot after 1
minute, it will shut off automatically.
In order to resume cooking, place induction-ready cookware on
the PIC’s surface then press Start.
E7 Error & Cooking Fan
An E7 error is displayed when the PIC becomes overheated.
This is typically caused by obstruction of the PIC’s underside
Cooling Fan. Always ensure that the PIC Gold is placed on a
at, level surface with the cooling fan unobstructed. Typical
interferences include tablecloths, wooden cutting boards,
placemats, etc.
PIC & Pacemakers
Scientic tests are inconclusive as to whether the electrical
eld created by the PIC Gold will disrupt the function of a pace-
maker. Please consult your doctor or medical professional for
guidance before use.
General Cleaning Instructions
1. Unplug the PIC before cleaning.
2. Clean after each use.
3. Make sure the PIC has cooled completely prior to
cleaning.
4. The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with
a damp dishcloth or sponge.
5. Remove the power plug prior to cleaning the NuWave PIC.
Do not use caustic cleaning agents and water should not
penetrate the interior of the induction cooktop.
6. Never immerse the PIC, cables, or plug in water or other
liquids.
7. Wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth or use a mild,
non-abrasive soap solution.
8. Wipe casing and operating panel with a damp soft cloth
and mild detergent.
9. Do not use oil-based cleansing products as their use may
damage plastic parts or the casing/operating panel.
10. Do not use flammable, acidic or alkaline materials or
substances near the PIC, as this may reduce the service
life of the induction cooktop or pose a fire risk when the
induction cooktop is in use.
11. Ensure that the bottom of any cookware does not scrape
the PIC’s glass surface, although a scratched surface will
not impair the use of the induction cooktop.
12. Properly clean the PIC before storing it in a cool, dry
place.
