stops when the cookware is removed.

Your cookware MUST have a magnetic layer of steel for your induction cooktop to operate properly. The cookware

should have a flat, heavy magnetic bottom and straight sides with a diameter of 5” (13 cm) to 12” (31 cm) to accommodate the various sized elements. The induction cookware should be in good condition and free from excessive dents on the bottom to provide maximum performance and convenience.

All Viking cookware is induction friendly, as are most other high-end brands of stainless steel and enamel cookware. Most induction cookware will be suitable for your induction cooktop if a magnet adheres to the bottom surface.

•Cookware that is NOT suitable for your induction cooktop includes pottery, glass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and any type of cookware with a footed base.
