  1. Check if the pots you are using are labeled as induction-compatible.
  2. Ensure that the bottom surface of the pot is flat and wide enough for the hob zone.
  3. Center the pot on the hob zone to ensure proper heating.
  4. If the pot is compatible but still not heating, try using a different pot to see if the issue persists.

When to stop

  • Stop if you notice any unusual noises or smells coming from the hob — risk of component damage.
