About Induction Cooking

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works by electromagnetic field generating instant heat directly in the cookware bottom, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because the cookware warms it up. Our induction cooktop has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. The product meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in a residential installation.

Notes on Using your Cooktop

  • This appliance will get hot during use and will remain hot for a time after use.
  • Never heat empty cookware. This can damage both the cookware and the appliance.
  • Remember to turn off the cooktop after use.
  • Keep the unit away from a gas range or other heat source. If the surrounding temperature is too hot, the cooktop will stop heating.
  • Make sure to wipe off water from the bottom of the pot before heating.
  • Use caution when boiling water. During the boiling process, hot water may splash out.

Operational Cooktop Noises

Cookware Noise
The induction fields are generated by electronic equipment, which is pretty much silent but they do produce heat at high power levels. A soft-sounding cooling fan run when the unit is running multiple cooking elements at high settings at once or when a cooking element is set at very high power settings. What can sometimes produce sound with induction cooking is not the induction equipment but the cookware itself. Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Some of the possible causes include:

  • Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan; Lightweight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy-weight quality cookware is recommended.
  • Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic glass surface, though again typically only at high power settings.
  • A “Cracking” noise may be heard if the cookware base is made of layers of different materials.
  • A low “humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is normal, particularly at high-power settings.
  • Whistling can occur if both elements are being used at the same time at the high settings, and the cookware has bases made of layers of different materials.
  • Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when riveted on, can vibrate slightly.
  • High-quality cookware of solid cast iron including enamelware will lower the noise.

The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you use. Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, only certain materials can be used on your cooktop.

Proper Cookware
Flat-bottom pots or pans with diameters from 12 to 26 cm (4. 7 to 10.83 inches) made from the following:

Empava-IDC12B2-2-Burner-Induction-Cooktop-fig-9

Optimally the cookware will have this induction image on the retail box:

Improper Cookware

Pots or pans with or made of the following CAN NOT be used on your cooktop:

  • Non-magnetic stainless steel
  • Bottom measuring less than 12 cm (4. 7 inches)
  • Pot with stands
  • Heat resistant glass
  • Ceramic container
  • Copper
  • Aluminum

If you are unsure about the usability of your cookware, simply take a magnet (such as one on your refrigerator) and hold it under the bottom of your pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the cookware CAN be used on the induction cooktop.
