The unit keeps beeping and does not generate heat after the cookware
has been placed on the cooktop's surface and the ON/OFF button
followed by the START 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 an induction cooktop must have a
completely fl at bottom. If your pot does not have a fl at bottom
you will not be able to use it on the induction cooktop.
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 an induction cooktop.
Try using a different pot.
I have a stainless steel pot; 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.
Usually stainless steel pots 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 cookware is induction compatible,
check with a magnet fi rst. If the magnet doesn't stick, you will not be
able to use that particular pot on an induction cooktop.
