ATTENTION:
The heating surface is located inside the thicker silver ring. The minimum
diameter of acceptable cookware is 3 inches. Always place cookware in the
center of heating center. You may use pans measuring up to the total width of the
NuWave PIC Titanium, which measures 12 inches, however in these situations,
heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Not recommended for pans
larger than 12 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• All NuWave Cookware • NuWave Duralon

Ceramic Non-Stick Cookware
• Cast iron • Enameled iron and steel • Stainless steel with magnetic base
Non-induction-compatible cookware:
• Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels
How do I check my cookware for induction compatibility?
Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware
purchases, are compatible with the NuWave PIC Titanium:
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of
cookware, this typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However be
cautioned that there are instances when a cooking vessel’s magnetic properties
may not be strong enough for the pot to work efciently with the NuWave PIC
Titanium.
2. Place a small amount of water in a particular pot or pan.
If induction compatible, water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be printed on the
bottom of the cookware.
IMPORTANT - Do not immerse unit in water or
attempt to cycle through dishwasher. The outer
surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with
a damp dishcloth or sponge. Make sure unit has
cooled completely prior to cleaning.
As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware
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
rendered magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the
base. This layer will be acted upon by the magnetic eld of the induction cooktop
to distribute heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will
work with induction cooktops. Copper, glass, and aluminum cookware will not
work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots that function optimally
with the NuWave PIC Titanium tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
BEFORE USE:
Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,
soapy water.
