Induction-Ready Cookware

There are three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans or future cookware purchases are compatible with the NuWave PIC Gold:

1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bot-tom of a piece of cookware, that typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However, there are instances when a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties may not be strong enough for the pot to work efficiently with the PIC Gold.
2. Place a small amount of water in a pot or pan. If the vessel is induction compatible, the water will begin to boil.
3. Look for the induction-ready symbol, which may be printed on the bottom of the cookware.

Troubleshooting Guide

E1 Error
An E1 reading typically means that your PIC Gold does not detect

cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two reasons:

1. The induction coils contained within the PIC Gold will only work when they are in direct contact with a piece of cook-ware. To maintain your appliance’s effectiveness, always ensure that it rests on a flat surface and set the cookware on the PIC Gold before pressing Start.
2. An E1 message may also occur if your chosen cookware is not induction-ready.

When an E1 error occurs the PIC will beep every 2 seconds until it detects a pot. If the PIC has not detected a pot after 1 minute, it will shut off automatically. In order to resume cooking, place induction-ready cookware on the PIC’s surface then press Start.

E7 Error & Cooking Fan
An E7 error is displayed when the PIC becomes overheated. This is typically caused by obstruction of the PIC’s underside Cooling Fan. Always ensure that the PIC Gold is placed on a flat, level surface with the cooling fan unobstructed. Typical interferences include tablecloths, wooden cutting boards, placemats, etc.

PIC & Pacemakers
Scientific tests are inconclusive as to whether the electrical field created by the PIC Gold will disrupt the function of a pace-maker. Please consult your doctor or medical professional for guidance before use.

General Cleaning Instructions

1. Unplug the PIC before cleaning.
2. Clean after each use.
3. Make sure the PIC has cooled completely prior to cleaning.
4. The outer surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp dishcloth or sponge.
5. Remove the power plug prior to cleaning the NuWave PIC. Do not use caustic cleaning agents and water should not penetrate the interior of the induction cooktop.
6. Never immerse the PIC, cables, or plug in water or other liquids.
7. Wipe the glass surface with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution.
8. Wipe casing and operating panel with a damp soft cloth and mild detergent.
9. Do not use oil-based cleansing products as their use may damage plastic parts or the casing/operating panel.
10. Do not use flammable, acidic or alkaline materials or substances near the PIC, as this may reduce the service life of the induction cooktop or pose a fire risk when the induction cooktop is in use.
11. Ensure that the bottom of any cookware does not scrape the PIC’s glass surface, although a scratched surface will not impair the use of the induction cooktop.
12. Properly clean the PIC before storing it in a cool, dry place.
