Introduction to Induction

How does induction work?

An induction cooktop holds a series of burners called induction coils (based on magnetic principles). These coils generate magnetic elds that induct a warming reaction in steel and iron-based pots and pans. This way, the cookware itself heats the food, not the cooktop surface.
What are the benets of cooking with an induction cooktop?
EFFICIENT: Induction cooking is the most eco-friendly and energy-efcient way to cook. Induction cooktops use 90% of the energy produced, which is much more energy-efcient than gas or electric cooktops. By recognizing the base of the cookware, induction heats only the diameter of the pot so very little energy is wasted. Moreover, induction emits no ame, so less residual heat is produced in your kitchen. SAFE: There are no open ames and the surface remains cool to the touch. FAST: Heating and adjustments are immediate, saving you 50% of cooking time when compared to gas and electric. EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION: Hot spots and rings are avoided because the bottom of your cookware heats uniformly. EASY TO CLEAN: The surface is at and smooth; spills and overows do not stick to the cooktop, so they can easily be wiped away.
What type of cookware can I use on Induction?
Since Induction is based on magnetic principles, the cookware used on it 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 made to be magnetic by sandwiching a thin layer of a ferrous metal in the base. This layer in the base is what will be affected by the magnetic eld of the induction cooktop and distribute the heat. Generally speaking, tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast iron cookware will work on induction cooktops. Copper, glass and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a sandwiched magnetic base. The easiest way to check whether your cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop or not, is to take a magnet and try to stick it to the bottom of your pot. If it sticks, your pot will work on induction. You can use even the simplest decorative fridge magnet for this test. Note that the magnet has to stick only to the bottom of the pot, not necessarily the sides. If the sides are not magnetic but the bottom is, your pot will still work perfectly well on induction. The pots that work best on induction are medium- to heavy-gauge.

*Always check your cookware with a magnet before attempting to use it on an induction.
ATTENTION: The cookware used on your Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop has to have a diameter between 5 and 10 inches and a at bottom.
General Safety Regulations
The product you have purchased is a state of the art induction cooktop. It adheres to all of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric appliance, there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accordance with the instructions provided and only for its intended household use. ATTENTION: In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe the following safety rules: Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands. Be sure to operate the unit on a at, level, non-metallic surface. Do not connect the induction cooktop to the same outlet with other household appliances such as microwaves, etc. as it could overload the outlet and trip a circuit breaker. If using an extension cord to connect the cooktop, please note that a damaged extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. Always check your extension cord for damage and be sure it is compliant with the required voltage. Be sure not to place cord where people can trip over it. Never attempt to unplug the induction cooktop by pulling on the power cable. Do not move the induction cooktop during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it. Do not place any empty cookware on the induction cooktop while it is functioning. An empty piece of cookware will heat up very rapidly and can cause material damage or personal injury. Do not place any metal objects on the induction cooktop (other than the cookware you intend to cook in). Check the power cable for damage from time to time. Never operate the induction cooktop when the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows any signs of defect, let a qualied electrician repair it. Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on the induction cooktop. A heated can of food could explode. Only cook or heat food in induction compatible cookware. Although the surface of the induction cooktop remains cool to the touch because heat is transferred directly to the pot, please note that the residual heat from the cookware will eventually warm up the cooking surface, especially the area directly underneath the pot. Be careful when handling the cooktop after use and let it cool down before storing.
Scientic tests have proven that induction cooktops do not pose a risk to health. However, persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance of two feet from the induction cooktop while it is operating. Do not place any magnetized objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the glass surface while the induction cooktop is in operation. The magnetic properties of the unit can damage these items. In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminum foil or metal plates on the cooking surface. Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots. Attention: this may cause electric shock. Never use the induction cooktop when it is not functioning properly, shows signs of damage or if it has been dropped. Do not leave the induction cooktop unsupervised during operation. Keep children away from the induction cooktop. Do not submerge the induction cooktop in water or other liquids and do not wash it in the dishwasher. Do not operate the induction cooktop on any metal table or surface. Only qualied experts may perform repair and maintenance work on the induction cooktop using authentic FAGOR replacement and accessory parts. Never attempt to dissemble and repair the induction cooktop yourself! This product is not intended for commercial use; it is for household use Only. Be sure to always use proper judgment and caution while using this cooktop in outdoor situations and public areas. Always make sure the unit is not set up in a place where there are unattended children or people who are unaware of its presence. Make sure to set up on a at, stable surface in an area where there is no nearby water source that could pose an imminent danger like pools, spas, sprinklers, hoses etc.

Automatic safety shutdown:
The cooktop has an automatic safety shutdown feature that will turn the cooktop off automatically after a certain period of cooking time, as a safety measure in case the cooktop is left on accidentally. The time varies with the cooking level:
If you are cooking on power levels 1 or 2, the cooktop will turn itself off after 4 hours. If you are cooking on power levels 3 or 4, the cooktop will turn itself off after 3 hours. If you are cooking on power levels 5 or 6, the cooktop will turn itself off after 2 hours.
You can override this default setting by programming the Timer (see the next section in this manual). If you want to keep using the cooktop after the default cooking time you can do so by pressing the ON/OFF and then the START buttons, although we recommend that you let the unit cool down before using it again.

Using the Timer:

The timer allows you to program a determined cooking time, after which the cooktop will turn itself off. 1. To use the timer, follow steps 1 to 4 of the How to Use Your Fagor Induction Cooktop section. Once you have set the desired cooking level, tap the TIMER button once. The display panel will show a blinking 0:00. Tap the PLUS button to increase the programmed time minute by minute. Or, tap and keep your nger pressed on the PLUS button to increase the time in 10 minute increments. If you want to decrease the time, tap the MINUS button. If you are cooking on power levels 1, 2, 3 or 4, the maximum time you can program the timer for is 6 hours. If you are cooking on power levels 5 or 6, the maximum time you can program the timer for is 4 hours. Once you have selected the desired cooking time, the displayed time will stop blinking after a few seconds and the timer will start the count-down. 3. To change the programmed time while its counting down, tap the TIMER button again once, and use the PLUS/MINUS buttons to change the time. To stop the timer, tap the TIMER button twice and the light beside the TIMER button will turn off.
Using the Child Safety Lock:
To prevent children from turning the cooktop on accidentally or changing the cooking settings, tap the CHILD LOCK button. The light beside the button will turn on and the cooktop will not respond to power or timer changes. You can tap the child lock button either when the cooktop is operating, or when its turned off. When the CHILD LOCK is on, the only button that will function is the ON/OFF button. To turn the child lock off, it is not sufcient to just tap once on the CHILD LOCK button. You have to press and hold the button for a couple of seconds until you hear a beep and the light turns off.

Cleaning and maintenance

Remove the power plug prior to cleaning the induction cooktop. Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents and make sure that water does not penetrate inside the induction cooktop. Never immerse the induction cooktop, its cables or the plug into water or other liquids. Wipe off the glass cooktop with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution. Wipe off the casing and the operating panel with a soft cloth or a mild detergent. Do not use any oil based cleansing products in order not to damage the plastic parts or the casing. In order to keep your cooktop looking new, make sure that the bottom of your cookware does not scrape the glass surface, although a scratched surface will not impair the use of the induction cooktop. Make sure to properly clean the unit before storing it in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

In order to ensure best results when using the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop, read all of the operating instructions and safety regulations contained in this manual. The following are practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience when using the Fagor Portable Induction Cooktop. If you cannot determine the cause of the error and correct it, contact our customer service department by calling 1.800.207.0806. Problem: The unit keeps beeping and does not generate heat after the cookware has been placed on the cooktops 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 at. 2. The cookware is not induction compatible. 1. All cookware used on an induction cooktop must have a completely at bottom. If your pot does not have a 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 doesnt 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. Solution: If you are unsure whether your cookware is induction compatible, check with a magnet rst. If the magnet doesnt stick, you will not be able to use that particular pot on an induction cooktop.

The touch control doesnt react at all when you tap the buttons, or doesnt react to every touch. These touch controls are not as sensitive to the touch as other touch screens or touch pads found in household electronics. This is for safety reasons, but also to allow spills to be wiped from the cooking surface without changing the settings. You have to apply a rm tap with your ngertip. Hold out your index nger horizontally, about one inch above the button you are trying to tap, and then tap quickly and rmly, lifting your nger once done. The cooktop emits a buzzing noise when I place cookware on the surface and start cooking. A low buzzing noise is normal when operating an induction cooktop. The buzzing sound indicates that the magnetic eld is being generated and the cookware is heating up. If you are cooking on power levels 1 or 2, the buzzing will be intermittent. On all other levels it will be constant. This is normal operation. As a general rule, the higher-quality cookware you use (the thicker the bottom), the lower the buzzing noise will be. I have turned the cooktop off after cooking, but I can still hear the fan working. Even after the cooktop has been turned off, the internal fan will keep working for a few seconds or minutes to nish cooling down the interior of the cooktop. This is normal operation. The fan will turn off by itself after the cooling down process is complete. Do not unplug the unit before the fan is off. If you must unplug the unit, make sure you let the unit cool down completely before storing it.

These code numbers will allow you identify the cause of the error and help you nd the solution to the problem. If the problem has been solved the error message will disappear and you will be able to continue using your cooktop. If the error persists, please call our customer service for assistance. You can reach us at 1-800-207-0806 E1, E2, E4, E5, Eb, EC: Solution: Failure of an internal component or electric connection. Do not attempt to repair the cooktop yourself. Please call our customer service for instruction on how to send the unit back for repair. Electronic control of low voltage. Make sure the cooktop is connected to the correct voltage. Electronic control of high voltage. Make sure the cooktop is connected to the correct voltage. Overheating protection. Make sure there is a minimum distance of 5 inches between the ventilation slot (found at the back of the cooktop) and any obstruction such as a wall or other appliances. Unplug and let the unit cool down. Plug back in and press the ON/OFF button followed by the START button.
