Troubleshooting

Cooktop Not Activating or Mat Burning

• Verify Cooktop Type: Confirm that your cooktop is an induction (magnetic) model. The mat is not compatible with electric glass or ceramic cooktops.
• Check Cookware Compatibility: Ensure your pots and pans are induction-compatible. Induction cooktops require ferromagnetic cookware.
• Temperature Exceeded: If the mat shows signs of burning or melting, the temperature limit of 450°F (232°C) has been exceeded. Reduce the heat setting on your cooktop.
