Product Usage Instructions

How Induction Cooking Works

The electricity flows through a coil to produce a magnetic field under the ceramic cooktop. When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pan is placed on the ceramic glass surface, currents are induced in the cooking utensil and instant heat is generated due to the resistance of the pan. Induction only works with cooking vessels made of magnetic materials, such as cast iron and magnetic stainless steel (it will not work with aluminum or copper pots).

Hi-Power Boost Control

To activate the Hi-Power boost feature, follow these steps:

Select the element you want to boost.
Press the Hi-Power boost control button.
The element will now operate at a higher power level for faster cooking.
