    **The LED display will show “H” whenever the cooktop is hot. Although the appliance itself does not generate any heat during the cooking process, the temperature of the cookware will heat up the cooktop and it will reach very high temperatures. To prevent the risk of scalding and burning, do not touch the surface while “H” is displayed or during cooking; do not place any objects on the cooktop while “H” is displayed.

    ###### FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE INDUCTION COOKTOP

    With an induction cooktop, the heat is not transferred by a heating element to the cookware before being transferred to the food to be cooked. Instead, the required heat is generated directly in the pots and pans by induction current (electromagnetic fields).

    An induction coil under the ceramic glass cooktop generates an alternating electromagnetic field, which passes through the ceramic glass cooktop and induces heat-generated current in the cookware.

    Using an induction cooktop presents the following benefits and advantages:

  • • Energy saving due to direct energy transfer to the cookware.
  • • Enhanced safety since energy is only transferred when a magnetic pot or pan is placed on the cooktop.
  • • Highly efficient energy transfer between the cooktop and the cookware.
  • • Quicker heating than traditional cooking methods.
  • • Low risk of burning since the cooking surface is only heated by its proximity to a cookware.
  • • Food does not burn onto the cooktop.
  • • Fine-tuned and easily accessible control.

    ###### CHOOSING YOUR COOKWARE

    The cookware used with this appliance must be made of metal, have magnetic characteristics and have a flat bottom surface.

    To decide whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking:

  • • The cookware should have an inscription stating its suitability for induction cooking ( ).
  • • Place a magnet close to the base of your cookware. If the magnet remains strongly attracted to the cookware, it means that it can be used for induction cooking.

    • |SUITABLE COOKWARE|UNSUITABLE COOKWARE| |---|---| |Cookware with magnetic bottom (ferrous)|Pots made of copper, aluminum (unless it features a magnetic base), heat resistant glass and other non metallic pots.| |Enamel-coated steel pots with thick bases|Pots made of stainless steel without a magnetic iron core.| |Cast-iron pots with enamel coated bases|Pots that do not sit flat on the cooktop| |Pots made of stainless steel, multilayered steel, stainless steel, ferrite steel or aluminum with special base.|Pots with a base diameter of less than 4.75”/12 cm or more than 10.25”/26 cm.|

    **Using the induction-ready pots of certain manufacturers can lead to the occurrences of noises that are due to the design of these pots.

    Page 13
    Copper Chef Copper Chef Induction Cooktop manual — page 13

    **Please check with the manufacturer of your cookware to ensure that it is intended for use on an induction cooking device.

    **Be cautious whenever using hollow-walled simmer pots. Such pots can boil dry unnoticed, which may lead to damage of the pot and cooktop.
