OWNER’S MANUAL • 6
TYPES OF PANS TO USE ON AN INDUCTION COOKTOP:
Since induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used on it must
have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are
made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made
to be magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This
layer in the base is what will be affected by the magnetic field of the induction
cooktop and distribute the heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron
cookware will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum
cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. The
pots that work best on induction cooktops are medium to heavy gauge.
ATTENTION:
The cookware used on your Precision Induction Cooktop should not exceed 9
inches in diameter. On the heating surface, the 9 inches in diameter is indicated
within the larger red ring.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• All Precision Cookware • Enameled iron and steel
• Stainless steel with a magnetic base • Cast iron
Examples of Non-induction compatible cookware:
• Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels
How to check your cookware for Induction Compatibility?
There are three simple ways to check if your existing cookware or future
cookware purchases can be used on the Precision
TM
Induction
Cooktop:
1) An induction symbol will be printed on the bottom of the cookware.
2) Place a small amount of water in an inductive pot or pan. When
placed on an induction appliance, water will start to boil.
3) A magnet is typically a great indicator. It must stick to the bottom of the
cookware which usually means it is induction ready, sometimes the magnetic
property in the cookware will not be strong enough for the pot to work efficiently.
CLEANING & CARE FOR YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP:
BEFORE USING:
Wipe down surface with a cloth soaked in warm
soapy water.
IMPORTANT - Do not wash or immerse unit in
water or in dishwasher. The outer surface can
be cleaned by wiping carefully with a damp
dishcloth or sponge. Make sure the unit is
cooled down completely before cleaning.
C A U T I O N
Do not touch the surface of the cooking area during operation.
The surface can become very hot and may cause burns.
Cooktop may retain residual heat after cookware has been
removed.
Do not remove pots and or pans while it is still operating.
Push the “Pause/Clear” first to turn off the power before
removal.
5 • THE PRECISION INDUCTION COOKBOOK
THE PRECISION INDUCTION COOKTOP
Ventilation: Air vents are located on the back of the product to allow any heat
generated by the heating element to escape. This allows it not to be transferred
to the cooking surface and keeps the induction cooker performing efficiently.
Top Surface: The heat resistant glass surface is easy to clean. Surface over
the magnetic heating surface stays cool to the touch.
Control Panel with LCD Display: Light up, easy to read display.
Heating Source: An electro-magnetic coil located below the glass transfers
heating power directly to your induction compatible pot, so any exposed surface
remains cool to the touch.
