An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic fields that induct a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food, not the cooktop surface. What are the benefits of cooking with an induction cooktop? EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efficient way to cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more energy- efficient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware, induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover, induction emits no flame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen. SAFE: There are no open flames and the surface remains cool to the touch. FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when compared to gas and electric. EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of your cookware heats uniformly. EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is flat and smooth; spills and overflows do not stick to the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away. 2 ENGLISHENGLISH What type of cookware can I use on Induction? Since Induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used on it must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are made to be magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This layer in the base is what will be affected by the magnetic field of the induction cooktop and distribute the heat. Generally speaking, tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop or not, is to take a magnet and try to stick it to the bottom of your pot. If it sticks, your pot will work on induction. You can use even the simplest decorative fridge magnet for this test. Note that the magnet has to stick only to the bottom of the pot, not necessarily the sides. If the sides are not magnetic but the bottom is, your pot will still work perfectly well on induction. The pots that work best on induction are medium- to heavy-gauge. Induction compatible cookware* • Stainless Steel with a magnetic base • Enameled iron and steel • Cast iron • All FAGOR cookware and pressure cookers Non-induction compatible • Copper • Glass • Aluminum • Pottery type vessels *Always check your cookware with a magnet before attempting to use it on an induction. ATTENTION: The cookware used on your Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop has to have a diameter between 5 and 10 inches and a fl at bottom. 3 ENGLISHENGLISH General Safety Regulations The product you have purchased is a state of the art induction cooktop. It adheres to all of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric appliance, there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accordance with the instructions provided and only for its intended household use. ATTENTION: In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe the following safety rules: • Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands. • Be sure to operate the unit on a flat, level, non-metallic surface. • Do not connect the induction cooktop to the same outlet with other household appliances such as microwaves, etc. as it could overload the outlet and trip a circuit breaker. • If using an extension cord to connect the cooktop, please note that a damaged extension...
