When you press ON, select a power level and
center a cast iron or steel pan on the cooking
surface, the induction coil circuit detects the
pan and allows the induction coil to be activated.
This high-frequency coil, located just below the
cooking surface, produces a magnetic field that
causes the electrons in the ferrous metal pan to
vibrate, which produces heat.
The pan begins to heat immediately and, in turn,
heats the contents of the pan.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. The only
heat produced is that which is transferred from the
cooking pan, and no heat is generated unless a pan
is placed on the cooking surface.
FEATURES OF YOUR COOKTOP
The power comes on right away, for precise
cooking control. No time is lost waiting for the
cooking unit to heat. And no cool-down time is
required after cooking.
Remember, magnetic induction cooking
requires the use of cookware made of ferrous
