Use the correct cookware type
The magnetic cooking zone sensors located below the
cooktop surface require the use of cookware made
with magnetic material in order to start the heating
process on any of the cooking zones.
Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom suit-
able for induction cooking. The use of cookware with
an irregular bottom could affect the efficiency of the
heating system and even prevent the pan from being
detected on the cooking zone.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware. Cookware should have fl at bottoms
that make good contact with the entire surface of the
heating element.
Cookware material types
Cookware material is especially important when using
an induction cooktop. The cookware must contain
magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction cook-
top. Common materials for induction cookware
include the following:
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean,
and resists staining. Some types of stainless steel
will not work on an induction cooktop. Use the
magnet test to check stainless steel cookware.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking tem-
perature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating character-
istics will vary depending on the base material.
Porcelain-enamel on a compatible metal will
work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet
test to check porcelain-enamel cookware.
Cookware sold as induction-ready will often have a
symbol printed on the bottom by the manufacturer.
The magnet test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induc-
tion cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the magnet
clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, the cook-
ware will work on your induction cooktop. If the mag-
net clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not
heat up on your induction cooktop.
IMPORTANT
• Each cooking zone is fitted with a magnetic
sensor that distinguishes between suitable and
unsuitable cookware.
• If unsuitable cookware is used, no heat is gen-
erated and no cooking will be performed.
• The alternating symbols and appear
when improper cookware is used, with missing
pan or when you remove the pan during cook-
ing.
CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking
zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of
cookware is left on an operating induction cooking
zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp or
damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.
