Introduction

Thank you for choosing the AGA Hotcupboard with induction
cooktop. The induction cooktop is an efficient way of cooking
and will give you more control during the cooking process.
The hotcupboard provides gentle heat, in the form of a
slow cooking oven and warming oven. Please read these
instructions to ensure a full understanding of the controls
and the precautions required prior to their use.
Pans
It is important to use pans that are specifically recommended
for induction cooking. Generally stainless steel, special pans
with stainless steel bases, enamelled steel, or cast iron pans
with flat enamelled bases are suitable. It should be noted that
some grades of stainless steel pans may not function or may
be slow to heat.
All copper and all aluminium constructed pans or ceramic
pans, will not work on an induction cooktop. If you are
unsure of a pan, try a quick test using a magnet on the pan
base (Fig. 3.1). A strong attraction between magnet and pan
will normally indicate a suitable pan. Weak or no attraction
usually indicates a pan that is not suitable. DO NOT forget to
remove the magnet before using the pan on the cooktop.
Ideally pans should have near flat bottoms to maximise
induction efficiency. Most types of pans will generate a
faint audible sound during the cooking process and this is
perfectly normal. The level of sound will vary depending on
the type and style of pan used.
Use pans that are the same size or slightly larger than the
marked area. Smaller pans will take longer to heat. Using a
pan with a lid will help pan contents boil more quickly.
