DESCRIPTION OF THE COOKTOP AC881 

 

Induction cooktops are easy and safe to use. Your model has 2 Induction and 2 
Ceramic separate heating elements. Combination of 4 separate elements of the two 
most popular electric heating methods gives you a choice of power, size of the cooking 
zone and cookware type. 

 
Why 2 Induction Cooktops Are Different from 2 Ceramic 

Induction cooktops do not heat up like conventional electric elements. 
Instead, they create a magnetic field which causes electric currents to circulate in the 
bottom of the pan. These currents cause the bottom of the pan to heat up. This is a 
much safer and more efficient way to transfer energy.  

 

 

Advantages

 

  Efficiency: Uses far less energy 

 

  Comfort: The cooktop surface does not generate heat, keeping temperatures 

in the kitchen lower 

 

  Control: You are not waiting for an element to heat up or cool down, so you 

see the results of a setting change instantly. 

 

  Speed: Brings water to the boil faster than any other cooking method. 

 

  Safety: The cooktop does not generate heat, so presents much less of a fire or 

burning hazard. 

 

Choose The Right Cookware for 2 Induction cooking zones 

 

Cookware that you use must have a base made from a “ferromagnetic ” material (ie a 
material that attracts a magnet). Below is a list of appropriate and inappropriate 
materials. 

 

Use these types of cookware 

 

  ferromagnetic steel 

 

  cast iron 

 

  magnetic stainless steel 

 

  clad cookware (magnetic stainless steel on the outside, aluminium or 

copper on the inside) 

 

  porcelain coated steel 

 

  Most cookware will state whether it can be used for induction cooking. 

 

Just in case, you should test potential cookware with a fridge magnet to 
ensure the base is made from a magnetic material. 

 

Do not use these: 

  pans that are less than 12 cm in diameter 

  non-magnetic stainless steel 

  glass, ceramic or pyrex 

  aluminium or copper
