When you press ON, select a power level and
center a cast iron or steel pan on the cooking
surface, the induction coil circuit detects the
pan and allows the induction coil to be activated.

vibrate, which produces heat.
The pan begins to heat immediately and, in turn,
heats the contents of the pan.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. The only
heat produced is that which is transferred from the
cooking pan, and no heat is generated unless a pan
is placed on the cooking surface.
