Problem: | The unit keeps beeping and does not generate heat after the |
| cookware has been placed on the cooktop’s surface and the ON/ |
| OFF button followed by the TEMP./LEVEL button have been pressed. |
|
|
Reason: | The induction cooktop is not detecting the cookware. This could |
| occur because: |
| 1. The bottom of the cookware is not flat. |
| 2. The cookware is not induction compatible. |
|
|
Solution: | 1. All cookware used on an induction cooktop must have a |
| completely flat bottom. If your pot does not have a flat bottom |
| you will not be able to use it on the induction cooktop. |
| 2. Check if the cookware you want to use is compatible with |
| induction by trying to stick a magnet to its bottom. If the magnet |
| doesn’t stick, the cookware will not work on an induction cooktop. |
| Please refer to page 3 for cookware that that will be compatible |
| with the induction cooktop. |

Problem: | I have a stainless steel pot; however, it does not work on my induction |
| cooktop. |
|
|
Reason: | Not all types of stainless steel are induction compatible, as some |
| do not have magnetic properties. |
| Usually stainless steel pots have an aluminum sandwich bottom, which |
| consists of one layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of |
| stainless steel. The top layer is usually 18/10 stainless steel which is not |
| magnetic, and the bottom layer is usually a layer of magnetic stainless |
| steel (also called “ferrous” or 18/0 stainless steel). This type of pot |
| will work on induction. However, if your pot is all 18/10 stainless steel |
| and does not have a sandwich bottom, it will not have the magnetic |
| properties needed to make it induction compatible. |
|
|
Solution: | If you are unsure whether your cookware is induction compatible, |
| check with a magnet first. If the magnet doesn’t stick, you will not be |
| able to use that particular pot on an induction cooktop. |
