What type of cookware is compatible with the Nutrichef PKSTIND48 induction cooktop?

Compatible cookware includes steel, cast iron, enameled iron, and stainless steel pots and pans with a flat bottom and diameter between 12 cm and 26 cm. To check compatibility, use a magnet; if it sticks, the cookware is suitable.

How do I unlock the control panel if it's locked?

If the display shows 'Loc', the panel is locked. Press and hold the Lock button for 3 seconds to unlock. You can also press the On/Off button to turn off the unit and then restart.

What should I do if the cooktop shows error code E0?

Error code E0 indicates that no cookware is detected or the cookware is incompatible. Ensure you are using a suitable induction-compatible pan with a flat bottom and diameter over 12 cm. Place the pan correctly on the heating zone.

Can I use the timer and preset functions simultaneously?

No, the timer (4 hours) and preset (23:59 hours) functions are exclusive to specific cooking modes. The timer is available for Fry and Water modes, while the preset is for Steam and Warm modes. Select the desired mode first, then set the time.

How do I clean the glass cooktop safely?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with a small amount of neutral detergent for greasy stains. Do not immerse the unit in water or allow liquid to enter the fan vents.

What does the 'Warm' function do?

The Warm function automatically maintains a low temperature of 140°F (60°C) to keep food warm without further cooking. It has a preset time of up to 23:59 hours.

Why does the cooktop beep and stop heating?

The beeping sound typically indicates that no compatible cookware is detected or the pan is not centered. Check that the pan is induction-compatible, has a flat bottom, and is placed correctly. Also ensure the pan diameter is at least 12 cm.

Is it safe to use the induction cooktop near a gas stove or in a heated oven?

What should I do if I see error code E1 or E2?
