As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware
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
rendered magnetic by "sandwiching" a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the
to distribute heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will
work with induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not
work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. Pots that function optimally
with the NuWave PIC Pro tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
The heating surface is located inside the larger red ring. You may use pans
measuring up to the total width of the NuWave PIC Pro, which measures 12
inches, however in these situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer
edges. Do not use pans larger than 12 inches.
Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware
1. A magnet is typically a great indicator. If it sticks to the bottom of a piece of
cookware, this typically means the pot or pan is induction-ready. However be
cautioned that there are instances when a cooking vessel's magnetic properties
2. Place a small amount of water in a particular pot or pan.
If induction compatible, water will begin to boil.
3. An induction-ready symbol may be printed on the
bottom of the cookware.

that the bottom of cookware does not scrape the unit's glass surface, although a
scratched surface will not impair the use of the induction cooktop.
1. Check power outlets to ensure proper operation. Do not use in an outlet
where other major appliances are engaged. Check settings if the unit is
cooking too slowly.
2. The electrical plug must be properly plugged into the outlet.
3. Always turn off and unplug the unit before wiping.
