Cookware Compatibility
Induction cooking requires specific cookware. Use only magnetic (ferromagnetic) pots and pans, such as enameled iron, cast iron, or stainless steel with a magnetic base. Do not use glass, ceramic, or aluminum cookware. A simple test is to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Always switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool completely. Wipe the glass surface and stainless steel body with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or sharp objects. Never immerse the unit or power cord in water or other liquids.
