Introduction to Induction
ENGLISH
How does induction work?
An induction cooktop houses a series of copper induction coils (based on magnetic
principles). These coils generate magnetic fi elds that induct a warming reaction in
steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food, not
the cooktop surface.
What are the benefi ts of cooking with an induction cooktop?
EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-effi cient way to
cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more
energy-effi cient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware,
induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover,
induction emits no fl ame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen.
SAFE: There are no open fl ames and the surface remains cool to the touch.
FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when
compared to gas and electric.
EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of
your cookware heats uniformly.
EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is fl at and smooth; spills and overfl ows do not stick to
the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away.

What type of cookware can I use on induction?
9.5” Aluminum Skillet
The 2X Induction Set includes an induction ready 9.5” aluminum skillet for convenience
and immediate use. This skillet features a PFOA Free Whitford nonstick coating for
easy clean up. The 9.5” skillet is not dishwasher safe; hand washing is recommended.
NOTE: The 9.5” aluminum skillet is NOT oven safe. To cook with this skillet, place it
on top of the induction cooktop and select your temperature or power level. Little oil
is required. It is ideal for frying and sautéing and perfect for everything from steaks to
omelets.
Other induction compatible cookware:
• Stainless Steel (Note: Not all stainless steel cookware has magnetic properties.
Check with a magnet before use*)
• Cast iron
• All Fagor cookware and pressure cookers
Non-induction compatible cookware:
• Copper
• Glass
• Aluminum
• Pottery type vessels
ENGLISH
* The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop
is to take a magnet (a refrigerator magnet will suffi ce) and see if it sticks to the bottom of the
cookware. If it sticks, your cookware will work on the induction cooktop.
ATTENTION:
Cookware used on the Fagor 2X Induction Set must have a fl at, magnetic bottom
of at least 5 inches in diameter.

General Safety Regulations
ENGLISH
The product you have purchased is a state of the art induction cooktop. It adheres to all
of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric appliance,
there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accordance with
the instructions provided and only for its intended household use.
ATTENTION - In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe
the following safety rules:
• Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands.
• Be sure to operate the unit on a fl at, leveled and stable surface.
• Do not connect the induction cooktop to the same outlet as other household
appliances such as microwaves, toaster ovens, etc. as this could overload the
outlet and trip a circuit breaker.
• When using an extension cord to connect the cooktop, please note that a
damaged extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. Always check your
extension cord for damage and be sure it is compliant with the required voltage.
Be sure not to place cord where people can trip over it.
• Please do not use cookware on the induction cooktop that is more than 10-inches
in diameter.
• Please keep your cookware centered on the induction cooktop at all times. Your
cookware should never cover the display or the control panel. Your cookware
should never touch the plastic edgings as this will damage the unit.
• Never attempt to unplug the induction cooktop by pulling on the power cable.
• Do not move the induction cooktop during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it.
• Do not place any empty cookware on the induction cooktop while it is functioning.
An empty piece of cookware will heat up very rapidly and can cause material
damage or personal injury.
• Do not place any metal objects on the induction cooktop (other than the cookware
you intend to cook in).
• Check the power cable for damage from time to time. Never operate the induction
cooktop when the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows any signs of
defect, let a qualifi ed electrician repair it.
• Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on the induction cooktop. A heated can
of food could explode. Only cook or heat food in induction compatible cookware.
4
• Although the surface of the induction cooktop remains cool to the touch because
heat is transferred directly to the pot, please note that the residual heat from the
cookware will eventually warm up the cooking surface, especially the area directly
underneath the pot. Be careful when handling the cooktop after use and let it cool
down before storing.
• Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using
or standing near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic
fi eld may affect the working of the pacemaker or similar medical device. We
advise consulting your doctor or the pacemaker/medical device manufacturer
about your particular situation.
• Do not place any magnetized objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the glass
surface while the induction cooktop is in operation. The magnetic properties of
the unit can damage these items.

Troubleshooting
ENGLISH
In order to ensure best results when using the Fagor 2X Induction Set, read all of the
operating instructions and safety regulations contained in this manual. The following
are practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience when
using the Fagor 2X Induction Set. If you cannot determine the cause of the error and
correct it, contact our customer service department by calling 1.800.207.0806.
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 fl at.
2. The cookware is not induction compatible.
Solution: 1. All cookware used on an induction cooktop must have a
completely fl at bottom. If your pot does not have a fl at 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 fi rst. If the magnet doesn’t stick, you will not be
able to use that particular pot on an induction cooktop.
14
Problem: The cooktop emits a humming noise when I place cookware on the
surface and start cooking.
Reason: A low humming noise is normal when operating an induction
cooktop. The humming sound indicates that the magnetic fi eld is
being generated and the cookware is heating up. If you are cooking
at 140°F or 180°F (power levels 1 or 2) , the humming will be
intermittent. On all other temperatures and levels it will be constant.
Solution: This is normal operation. As a general rule, the higher-quality
cookware you use (the thicker the bottom), the lower the humming
noise will be.
Problem: I have turned the cooktop off after cooking, but I can still hear the
fan working.
Reason: Even after the cooktop has been turned off, the internal fan will keep
working for a few seconds or minutes to fi nish cooling down the
interior of the cooktop.
Solution: This is normal operation. The fan will turn off by itself after the cooling
down process is complete. Do not unplug the unit before the fan is
off. If you must unplug the unit, make sure you let the unit cool down
completely before storing it.
ENGLISH
15
If the cooktop detects an internal/external error or a wrong connection, it will display
an error message with a code on the display panel and will stop functioning. These
ENGLISH
codes will allow you to identify the cause of the error and help you fi nd the solution
to the problem. If the problem has been solved, the error message will disappear and
you will be able to continue using your cooktop. If the error persists, please call our
customer service for assistance. You can reach us at 1-800-207-0806.
E0: Internal circuit error.
Self-help: Call our customer service department for assistance.
E1: There is no cookware on the ceramic plate or incompatible cookware
is being used.
Self-help: Place the cookware on the cooktop. Check if the cookware is
compatible with a magnet.
E2: Overheating protection on IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor).
Self-help: The temperature of IGBT is higher than 180°F and this E2 error will
appear in the display, the unit will shut itself off and turn its internal
fan on. Please wait till the fan stops running, unplug the unit and then
plug in again to restart.
E3: Electronic control of excess voltage.
Self-help: Please make sure the appliance is connected to the voltage indicated
on the rating label.
E4: Electronic control of low voltage.
Self-help: Please make sure the appliance is connected to the voltage indicated
on the rating label.
E5: The sensor underneath the ceramic glass has opened or has short
circuited.
Self-help: Please call our customer service department for assistance.
E6: The sensor of IGBT (Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor) has opened
or has short circuited.
Self-help: Please call our customer service department for assistance.
