4. Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the induction hob from its packaging. Retain packaging for storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the hob on a dry, stable, non-metallic, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure there is at least 10 cm of clear space around the appliance for proper ventilation. Do not place it near gas stoves, ovens, or other heat sources.
3. Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the appliance's requirements (240 Volts).
4. Cookware Check: Before use, ensure your cookware is induction-compatible. Induction cookware typically has a flat bottom and is made of magnetic material (e.g., cast iron, magnetic stainless steel). A simple test is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.
