The advantages

Cooking with INVISACOOK ® involves a revolutionary change in the traditional manner of heating, as the heat is generated directly in the cookware thr ough your countertop.

This ensures a series of advantages:

• Reduced cooking and frying times on heating the pan or pot directly.
• Energy is saved due to induction turning 90% of the energy into heating your cookware.
• Simpler maintenance and cleaning, due to a seamless kitchen. Food which has spilled over does not burn.
• Controls are hidden out of the elements as well as it can be controlled using Wi Fi on a mobile device or tablet.
• Heat and safety control; the unit supplies or cuts off energy immediately by operating the unit through the touch screen control panel.

Induction & Anti Slip Cooking Mat

Silicone ridges extends the lifespan of induction cooktops by diffusing the heat which pass from cookware back to the induction stove. Without the mat heat passes back into the cooktop and builds up inside which significantly lessens the lifespan of induction cooktops

THE INVISAMAT MUST ALWAYS BE USED WHEN COOKING WITH INVISACOOK ON YOUR PORCELAIN OR GRANITE COUNETRTOPS

HEAT DIFFUSING INDUCTION MAT
Patented
made with FDA safe 100% Silicone and fiberglass Protects induction
countertops from unwanted scratches and heat Keeps pots and pans from sliding during
cooking Microwave, Oven Dishwasher Safe up to 500 F

WARNING
Never use on regular electric ( ceramic, radiant) Cooktops Only for use
on induction countertops cooktops
Only
use when cooking by power ( settings ( 1 10 levels) If your cookware only
has a thin layer of magnetic coating, your inductio n uni t may hav e troubl e recogni z i n g
your cookware with the mat.

PRODUCT CARE Tips to ensure your Induction Mat lasts a long time. Avoid using highest power settings when using cast iron pans Do no t us e wit h empty pans o r pot. Clean the mat between uses if dirty.

SUITABLE INDUCTION COOKWARE, WHEN USING INVISACOOK WITH YOUR COUNTERTOP

Compatible Cookware
The #1 recommended Cookware is the Full Clad Stainless Steel pans, which when you take a magnet to it, it will stick firmly to the bottom of the pan, as well as to the sides. These Full Clad or Tri Clad Pans are what we recommend using when cooking with Invisacook along with your InvisaMat. See here Image of the Tri Clad Pan.

AVOID THESE INDUCTION PANS.
Aluminum, all copper, or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties. Many manufacturers have started adding a magnetic layer to the bottom of these pans, which you will see this look on the bottom of the Pan (See Image on Right) which will induct, but very slowly due to its Thin Piece of induction metal. Avoid using these for best performance of cookware.

DO NOT USE THESE PAN OPTIONS

• Cast Iron Cookware, yet sufficient for induction cooking, these Pans Radiate a lot of heat down to the countertop, which much heat is being waisted and causes the countertop to heat up Quickly.
• Induction Boost Plates Also known as ( Diffuser Plates,
• Induction Disks, Induction Converter Disks ) This is again a waist of energy and will cause the countertop to heat up Quickly.

Testing for Compatibility
To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction stove, hold a magnet to the bottom.

• If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop.
• If the magnet grabs the pan softly, you may not have good success with it on your cooktop.
• If there is no pull on the magnet, it doesn’t contain the right metals and will not generate heat.

Child-safe system

Child safe system
The cooking unit features an anti activation device to prevent children from turning on  the cooking areas or placing their hands on the surface. It is the key lock button on the controller.

Turning the device off and on
The Invisacook cooking unit should be off. To turn the device on and off press the indicators (in the center) with the pad (not with the tip) of your finger for 2 to 3 seconds. If nothing happens lift your finger and repeat the operation.

Automatic child safe system
The child safe system activates automatically when the cooking unit is turned off.

Maintenance and cleaning

The tips and alerts provide in this chapter serve as assistance for the correct cleaning and maintenance of the InvisaCook Surface.

COOKING AREA

Cleaning Clean
the cooking area each time it is used. This will prevent stuck on food remains from burning. Do not clean the cooking area until it has cooled down sufficiently. Use cleaning products which are suitable for counter tops Check the information on the packaging of the cleaning products or just use soap and water if there are no stuck on remains of food A sponge may be used taking care not to discolor the cooking areas

TROUBLESHOOTING

Defects are normally due to small details. The following tips and alerts should be taken into consideration before notifying the Technical Assistance Department:

check if the power supply has been cut off.

U

| The appliance has not been connected in accordance with the instructions.| Check the appliance has been connected in accordance with the instructions

E3 / E4

If the defect persists notify the Technical Assistance Department. Do not place hot Cookware on the control panel.

NORMAL OPERATING NOISE
INVISACOOK heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields which ensure the heat is generated directly in the base of the cookware. These recipients, depending on the composition of the same, may emit certain noises or vibrations as described below:

A deep humming noise like that of a transformer
This noise occurs when cooking at high powers levels. It is caused by the amount of energy being transferred from the cooking plate to the recipient. This noise disappears or diminishes when the power level isreduced.

A low whistling noise
This noise occurs when the cookware is empty. It disappears when water or food is placed in the cookware.

A crackling noise
This noise arises in cookware which are composed of different layer materials. It is due to the vibrations produced in the surfaces joining the different layers of materials.
This noise comes from the cookware. The intensity of the noise may vary in accordance with the amount and manner in which the food is cooked.

A loud whistling noise
This noise occurs above all in cookware composed of different layers of materials as soon as they are placed under maximum heating power and in two cooking areas at the same time. This whistling noise disappears or diminishes as soon as the power level is reduced.

The noise of the fan
The Invisacook unit should operate at a controlled temperature to ensure the correct use of the electronic system. As such, the unit is equipped with a fan which turns itself on when the temperature read is high. The fan may also work due to safety, after the unit has been turned off, if the temperature is stilltoo high.

Protecting Our Environment

Energy saving tips

• Always use the corresponding lid of each pan. Cooking without a lid requires far more energy. Use a glass lid to enable you to see thefood without removing it.

• Use Cookware with InvisaMAT and flat bases. Bases which are not flat consume more energy.

• The diameter of the recipient base can be the same as the size of the cooking area.
  InvisaCook-Ware manufacturers usually state the diameter of the cookware, which is generally bigger than the diameter of the base of the unit.

• Use a small pan or pot for small amounts. A larger pan with minimal contents consume much more energy.

• Use as little water as possible when cooking. This saves energy and conserves the vitamins and minerals of vegetables.

• Cooking at excessively high temperatures wastes energy.

InvisaCook Countertop Option
Invisacook recommends the use of the Following 12mm Countertop Manufactured Brands to be used. Invisacook has tested each of these manufactured brands and acknowledged that they work safely. Countertop material warranty will be covered by the stone manufacture warranty , and not part of the Invisacook induction cooktops.
