Choosing Cookware
Use the following guidelines when choosing cookware to use with the One Top:
• Cookware should be made of cast iron, iron, steel, stainless steel, enameled
steel, enameled iron, or cookware with a steel induction base.
• Cookware made of magnetic material is induction-compatible.
• Use cookware with a flat bottom; warped or curved cookware will not heat evenly.
• Cookware must fully contact the surface of the cooking element.
• Induction disks are not recommended.
• Base of cookware should be 6 to 11 inches in diameter
Note: The cooktop will not operate if you place a very small steel or iron utensil (smaller
than the diameter of the cooktop) on the cooking surface when it is on—items such as steel
spatulas, cooking spoons, knives, and other small utensils.
Cooking Noise
Different types of cookware may produce cooking noise. Heavier pans like enameled cast
iron produce less noise than a lighter pans like multi-ply stainless steel. The size of the
cookware and the amount of its contents can also contribute to the sound level.
The cooling fan may emit a “humming” noise when it turns on to cool the induction elements.
The cooling fan turns on shortly after cooking starts.
Depending on the type of cookware you use, there may be a slight “buzz” when cooking at
high power levels, or if the pan’s contents are cold. As the cookware heats or you reduce the
power level, the sound will decrease.
