Safe first steps
- Check if the pots you are using are labeled as induction-compatible.
- Ensure that the bottom surface of the pot is flat and wide enough for the hob zone.
- Center the pot on the hob zone to ensure proper heating.
- 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.
