Induction Quick Reference Guide

USE THE CORRECT COOKWARE

When using induction cooktop elements, pan size,

material, and positioning are very important to

achieve the best results, and only ferromagnetic

pans can be used for induction cooking.

Ferromagnetic materials include:

• Enameled steel

• Cast Iron

• Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-Ferromagnetic materials include:

• Stainless Steel

• Glass

• Copper

• Aluminum

NORMAL INDUCTION OPERATING NOISES

You may hear the following operational noises:

• CRACKING NOISES: You may hear a cracking

noise when you are using cookware made of two

or more materials

• WHISTLING: A whirling noise occurs when

both back burners are in use. This is caused by

vibrations. Whistling can vary depending on the

weight or material of the cookware or the type of

food you are cooking. (Noise can be reduced by

using thicker cookware.)

• HUMMING: You may hear a low humming when

you set an element to a high power setting. This

sound is generated by energy transmission, and

it will disappear when cooktop is turned off, or at

lower power settings.

• CLICKING: Electric switches are operating on

induction control board.

• HISSING, BUZZING: You may hear a fan noise

during cooktop/oven operation. You may continue

to hear it even after the cooktop/oven is turned

off. This is normal. The fan runs to cool down the

temperature inside. It will automatically shut off

after a short period of time.

These noises are normal and do not indicate any

defects.

CORRECT USAGE INCORRECT USAGE

Use magnetic pans that are

recommended for induction

cooktops. A magnet should

stick to the bottom of the pan.

The cookware will not work if

a magnet does not stick to the

bottom of the pan.

The cookware bottom should

be centered on the cooking

element area.

The cookware may not work

properly if the bottom of the pan

is not centered on the cooking

element area.

The bottom of the pan should

be at and ush with the

cooking element.

The cookware may not work

properly if the bottom of the pan

is warped and not ush with the

cooking element.

The diameter of the pan's base

should be about the same size

as the cooking element, and

should not extend more than

1/2" (1.3 cm) outside the area.

The cookware may not work

properly if the diameter of

the pan's base is too small or

too large to t on the cooking

element.

The pan is properly balanced

and should be at and ush

with the cooking element.

The cookware may not work

properly if the bottom of the pan

is tilted and not resting properly

on the cooking element.

The pan should have a at

bottom.

The cookware may not work

properly if the bottom of the pan

is rounded.

Guide de référence rapide concernant la cuisson par induction UTILISER LE BON USTENSILE DE CUISSON Lors de l’utilisation des éléments de la table de cuisson à induction, la taille de la casserole, le matériau et le positionnement sont très importants pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats, et seules les casseroles ferromagnétiques peuvent être utilisées pour la cuisson à induction. Ceci est normal. Le ventilateur fonctionne pour refroidir la température à l’intérieur.
