The unit continuously beeps and does not generate heat after the
cookware has been placed on the surface and the ON/OFF button
followed by the POWER LEVEL button have been pressed.
The induction cooktop is not detecting the cookware. This could
occur because:
1. The bottom of the cookware is not fl at.
2. The cookware is not induction compatible.
1. All cookware used on induction must have a completely fl at
bottom. If your vessel does not have a fl at bottom you will not be
able to use it on induction.
2. Check if the cookware you want to use is compatible with
induction by trying to stick a magnet to its bottom. If the magnet
doesn't stick, the cookware will not work on induction. Try using
a different vessel.
I have a stainless steel cooking/chafi ng vessel; however, it does not
work on my induction cooktop.
Not all types of Stainless Steel are induction compatible, as some
do not have magnetic properties.
Most stainless steel vessels have an aluminum sandwich bottom, which
consists of one layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of
stainless steel. The top layer is usually 18/10 stainless steel which is not
magnetic, and the bottom layer is usually a layer of magnetic stainless
steel (also called "ferrous" or 18/0 stainless steel). This type of pot
will work on induction. However, if your pot is all 18/10 stainless steel
and does not have a sandwich bottom, it will not have the magnetic
properties needed to make it induction compatible.
If you are unsure whether your cooking or chafi ng vessel is induction
compatible, check with a magnet fi rst. If the magnet doesn't stick,
you will not be able to use that particular vessel on an induction
cooktop.
