Induction Cooktop
Induction cooktops are more ecient than gas or electric cooktops. The cooking surface
heats through magnetic induction. Cookware for induction cooking should be magnetic
(steel or cast iron) and have a at bottom. Cookware made from aluminum, corning ware,
Pyrex, or glass will not work by just placing them on the surface, but can be used if they are
placed on top of a magnetic interface disk which will function as a conventional hot plate.
Stainless steel cookware may or may not work. If there is a doubt as to whether a certain pan
or skillet will work, check it with a magnet. If the magnet clings to it, it will probably work
with the induction cooktop; if it doesn’t or clings weakly it probably won’t work.
Induction cooktops are much safer to use than electric or gas.
The stovetop stays cool, no burned ngers or hands if you touch the surface.
Only the cooking vessel gets hot.
The cooking surface only works when there is a magnetic pan (or interface disk)
in place on it. Sensors detect the amount of ferrous material in the area of the
magnetic eld and if it is not the size of a small pan it won’t turn on.
Induction cooktops will not heat up the kitchen.
Very rapid temperature increases can be achieved and very ne adjustments can
be made.
Aluminum foil should NEVER be used with an induction cooktop. It can
permanently melt to the cooktop cracking the surface or causing permanent
damage.
Touching a hot pan or cooking vessel can cause burns. Use pot holders or
oven mitts to remove hot pans from the cooktop.
Cooking Safety
Grease is ammable. Never allow grease to collect around top burners or on the cook top
surface. Wipe up spills immediately. Refer to Section 2 – Safety Precautions, for re safety
and re extinguisher information.
Do not attempt to use water to put out the re. Water can spread some types of
re, and electrocution is possible with an electrical re.
Refrigerator
The refrigerator is not intended for quick freezing or cooling. We recommend stocking it
with pre-frozen or pre-cooled food when possible. The shelves should not be covered with
paper or plastic and the food items should be arranged so air can circulate freely. Keep the
