Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
This might occur due to a disconnected power supply or incorrect connection in the circuit diagram. It is advised to check if other kitchen appliances are working or if there are any issues with the circuit connection
-
Some cookware may not be detected if it is not suitable for induction cooking. The base size and composition can affect detection and performance. Cookware with a base measuring 3½" to 13½" in diameter is considered suitable
-
The control panel may not respond if it is damp or has objects on it. Drying the panel and removing objects can resolve this problem
-
This can happen due to overheating of the electronics. Waiting for the electronics to cool down and then resetting them usually helps
-
Noises such as humming, clicking, or crackling can occur during cooking. These are generally normal and dependent on the cookware material and the cooking process

- Use only recommended cleaning agents on the cooktop, such as glass ceramic cooktop cleaner and white vinegar. Avoid cleaners with ammonia or chlorine bleach, as these can damage the surface.
- Ensure the cooktop is cool before cleaning. For spills like dry sugar or syrup, use a glass scraper while the cooktop is still hot to avoid permanent damage.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools such as metal scouring pads, which can scratch the surface. Stick to soft cloths or sponges for cleaning.
- Regularly clean metal marks or iridescent stains immediately using a suitable cooktop cleaner. Delay can make these marks difficult to remove.
- Apply a small amount of cooktop cleaner, let it dry, and then buff the surface with a clean cloth after each use to maintain a shiny appearance.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Select cookware with a base diameter that matches the cooking zone and center it properly to ensure energy is efficiently targeted at the cookware.
- Use cookware with a solid flat bottom as curved bases increase energy consumption.
- Close cookware with a fitting lid, ideally a glass lid, to minimize energy loss by allowing you to check the food without removing the lid.
- Use cookware size that matches the amount of food being cooked, as large cookware with little content consumes more energy.
- Cook with minimal water, as more water requires more energy to heat.
- Do not allow grease or other flammable substances to accumulate on the cooktop to avoid the risk of fire.
- Never use water on grease fires. Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner.
- If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance immediately to prevent electric shock.
- Do not let metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids come into contact with the cooking surface as they can become hot.
- Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders can cause burns from steam.
