Expert Advice

Pots and Pans

Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material suitable for induction cooktops.

Compatible Materials:

• Enameled Steel
• Cast iron
• Stainless steel for induction cooktops

To check suitability, use a magnet to see if the pot is magnetic. The quality and structure of the pot base can affect cooking performance.

Cleaning

Recommendations to avoid permanent damage to your cooktop finish:

• Spray the cooktop with water, covering the soiled area, and let it soak for at least 5 minutes.
• Wipe with a moist, non-abrasive soft sponge. For heavy soiling, leave the soap on for an additional 20-25 minutes.
• Clean your cooktop after each use to prevent soil build-up and prolong its finish.
• The grease filter and air nozzle are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
