How Induction Cooking Works
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient and
economical cooking technology. It works by
electromagnetic vibrations generating heat
directly in the cookware, rather than indirectly
through heating the glass surface. The glass
becomes hot only because the pan eventually
warms it up.

NOTE
• When purchasing cookware for use on the

• The base material of the cookware must be
magnetic for the cooking elements to activate.
Use a magnet to check if the cookware base
material is suitable. If the magnet sticks to the
bottom of the cookware, the cookware can be
used for induction cooking.
• Cookware made from the following materials is
not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood,
porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a
curved base.
• Make sure that the base of your cookware is
smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the
same size as the cooking zone. Use cookware
whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the
zone selected. Using a pot slightly wider will
ensure that energy will be used with maximum
efficiency. If you use a pot smaller than the
cooking zone, efficiency could be less than
expected. Pot smaller than 120 mm could be
