• Remember to turn off cooktop after use.
• Keep unit away from a gas range or other heat source. If the surrounding temperature is too hot, the cooktop will stop heating.
• Make sure to wipe off water from the bottom of the pot before heating.
• Use caution when boiling water. During the boiling process, hot water may splash out.

Operational Cooktop Noises

Cookware Noise

The induction fields are generated by electronics equipment, which are pretty much silent but they do produce heat at high power level. A soft-sounding cooling fan run when the unit is running multiple cooking elements at high settings at once or when a cooking element is set at very high power settings.
What can sometimes produce sound with induction cooking is not the induction equipment but the cookware itself. Slight sounds may be produced by different types of cookware. Some of the possible causes include:

• Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron produce less noise than a lighter weight multi-ply stainless steel pan; Light weight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy weight quality cookware
  is recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic glass surface, though again typically only at high power settings.
• A “Cracking” noise may be heard if the cookware base is made of layer of different material.
• A low “humming” noise occurs when cooking, which is normal particularly at high power settings.
• Whistling can occur if both elements are being used at the same time at the high settings, and the cookware has bases made of layer of different material.
• Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when riveted on, can vibrate slightly.
• High quality cookware of solid cast iron including enamelware will lower the noise.

Compatible Cookware:

The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you use.
Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, only certain materials can be used on your cooktop.
Proper Cookware
Flat-bottom pots or pans with diameter from 12 to 26 cm (4. 7 to 10.83 inches) made from the following:

Improper Cookware

Pots or pans with or made of the following CANNOT be used on your cooktop:

• Non-magnetic stainless steel
• Bottom measuring less than 12 cm {4.7 inches)
• Pot with stands
• Heat resistant glass
• Ceramic container
• Copper
• Aluminum

If you are unsure about the usability of your cookware, simply take a magnet (such as one on your refrigerator) and hold it under the bottom of your pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the cookware CAN be used on the induction cooktop.
