Induction cooktop

Inductive Cooktop Stove

The induction cooktop stove requires special induction
compatible cookware, which can be purchased anywhere
cookware is sold. Since the induction stovetop depends on
magnetic material to produce heat, copper, stainless steel, or
aluminum cookware will not get warm.

For instructions on how to use this appliance, please refer to the
inductive cooktop stove manual.
