How Induction Cooking Works
An induction coil beneath the ceramic glass cooking surface generates magnetic fields, which act directly on the base of pots and pans. Instead of heating the ceramic glass, this method heats the base of the pan immediately, saving time and energy. Since the heat required for cooking is generated directly in the base of the pan, the cooking zone itself warms up only slightly. The cooktop does become hot when heat is transferred from the cookware.
Cookware Recommendations
Use cookware identified as "induction ready" or "induction capable." The base material must be magnetic. Use high-quality, heavy gauge steel cookware. Flat-bottomed pans are essential. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. Ensure cookware is centered and rests completely on the cooking zone.
Control Panel Overview
The control panel features Power (ON/OFF), Pause, Clean Lock, Settings, and Kitchen Timer. Cooking zones are controlled via the cooktop control (6), allowing power level adjustment from 1 to 9.
