SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. Size, shape, and construction
are all factors for suitable cookware.
1.
Suitable Cookware: the base of the cookware must be made of ferrous magnetic materials
including cast iron, carbon steel, magnetic stainless steel or cast aluminum with an induction
rated base.
2.
Unsuitable Cookware: will cause an E0 error and the cooktop will not operate.
3.
In general, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of suitable cookware, it will work on your
induction cooktop. A magnet is included for you to use to test your cookware.
4.
If proper cookware is not available we offer an Induction Interface Disk (#6010) that will provide
the necessary connectivity between the induction cooktop and your non-suitable cookware. It is
normal for reduced efficiency when using the Interface Disk.
NOTE:
Different types of cookware and sizes will result in varying wattage/heat efficiency. For maximum
efficiency, do not use cookware with a base larger than 13” or a combined weight over 60 lbs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, please see the Troubleshooting Guide. CAUTION: Always
use a dedicated outlet. This unit is designed to operate on 120V and will require 15A. For optimum
performance of your unit, use only one appliance per outlet.
Start-Up
1.

3.
Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the proper cookware, place on the
glass plate, and center it over the COOKWARE PLACEMENT GUIDES.
4.
Touch the POWER symbol to turn the unit on. The red POWER INDICATOR LIGHT will illuminate
and the cooling fan will run.
