NuWave™ Precision Induction Cooking
1 2
Ventilation: Air vents are located on the back of the product to allow any heat
1
generated by the heating element to escape. This design feature prevents heat
transfer to the cooking surface and ensures efficient performance of the NuWave™
PIC Gold .
Surface: The NuWave™ PIC Gold's heat-resistant glass surface stays cool to the
2
touch and cleans easily with the simple wipe of a damp cloth.
Control Panel with LED Display:
Clearly lit, easy-to-read control panel.

Heat Source:
Electro-magnetic coils located below the glass surface transfer

generated heat directly to induction-ready cookware.
While the NuWave™ PIC Gold is in operation, do not touch
the appliance's surface as it may become very hot, leading
to the risk of burns. Cooktop may retain residual heat after
cookware has been removed.
Do not remove pots and pans during cooking process. Push
"Pause/Clear" button to turn off power before removal.

CAUTION

Induction Cooktop-Compatible Cookware:

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
base. This layer will be acted upon by the magnetic field of the induction cooktop
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 Gold tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
ATTENTION:
The heating surface is located inside the larger gold ring. You may use pans
measuring up to the total width of the NuWave™ PIC Gold, which measures 12.3
inches, however in these situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer
edges. Do not use pans larger than 12.3 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware:
• All NuWave ™ Cookware
• Cast iron • Enameled iron and steel
Non-induction-compatible cookware:
• Copper • Glass

How do I check my cookware for induction compatibility?
Three simple ways to check if your existing pots and pans, or future cookware
purchases, are compatible with the NuWave ™ PIC Gold:
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
may not be strong enough for the pot to work efficiently with the NuWave™ PIC
Gold.
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.
Cleaning & Care for Your NuWave™ PIC Gold:
BEFORE USE:
Wipe surface with a cloth soaked in warm,
soapy water.
IMPORTANT - Do not immerse unit in water or
attempt to cycle through dishwasher. The outer
surface may be cleaned by wiping carefully with
a damp dishcloth or sponge. Make sure unit has
cooled completely prior to cleaning.
