Induction
25
Unsuitable pans
– stainless steel pans with a base
which cannot be magnetised
– aluminium or copper pans
– glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
Testing cookware
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan in
several different places. If the magnet
sticks, the pan is generally suitable.
Unsuitable pan indicator
When the cooktop is switched on and
you place a pan on it but the
corresponding number display does not
appear:
– the diameter of the base of the pan is
too small, or
– the pan is unsuitable
Useful tips
– Use only pots and pans with smooth
bases. Rough bases can scratch the
ceramic glass.
– Always lift the pans to move them.
This will help prevent scratching. If
any scratches do appear as a result
of pans being pushed around, this
will not affect the function of the
cooktop. These scratches are normal
signs of use and are not grounds for
making a complaint.
– Please note that the maximum
diameter quoted by manufacturers
often refers to the diameter of the top
rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of
the base (generally smaller) is more
important.
– Where possible, use pans with
vertically straight sides. If a pan has
angular sides, induction also acts on
the sides of the pan. The sides of the
pan may discolour or the coating
may peel off.
