Pans
It is important to use pans that are specifically
recommended for induction cooking. Generally stainless
steel, special pans with stainless steel bases, enamelled
steel, or cast iron pans with flat enamelled bases are
suitable. It should be noted that some grades of
stainless steel pans may not function or may be slow to
heat.
All copper and all aluminium constructed pans or
ceramic pans, will not work on an induction cooktop. If
you are unsure of a pan, try a quick test using a magnet
on the pan base (See Fig. 1). A strong attraction
between magnet and pan, will normally indicate a
suitable pan. Weak or no attraction usually indicates a
pan that is not suitable. Do not forget to remove the
magnet before using the pan on the cooktop.
Fig. 1
Ideally pans should have near flat bottoms to maximise
induction efficiency.
Most types of pans will generate a faint audible sound
during the cooking process and this is perfectly normal.
The level of sound will vary depending on the type and
style of pan used.
AGA accessories can be viewed at your local AGA
dealer or onlinr at www.aga-ranges.com
Use pans that are the same size or slightly larger than
the marked area. Smaller pans will take longer to heat.
Using a pan with a lid will help pan contents boil more
quickly.

How to operate your Induction
Cooktop
Place an appropriate pan containing food to be heated,
onto the induction cooktop.
Touch the power on pad , touch the induction on
pad .
Set power level by sliding your finger along the power
level pads to the required setting.
To simmer, slide your finger down the power level pads
for a lower setting.
Turn the cooktop off after pan contents are heated, by
touching the power off pad .
Remove the pan from the cooktop carefully, as it will be
hot.
Induction Cooktop
The induction cooktop works independent of the AGA
hotcupboard. It is not necessary for the hotcupboard
control switch to be on when the induction cooktop is in
use.
All of the induction cooktop functions are accessed via
the touch pads located on the ceramic surface.

Always use positive finger contact on the touch pads to
ensure a good control response (by gently touching and
not pressing the pad).
Touch pads may not respond if the induction cooktop
control area is wet. Touch pad area should be dried prior
to use.
