Troubleshooting

Do you want to know if the cookware you intend to use is heated properly by an induction burner?

Causes and Symptoms

  • The heating power is low when using an induction burner.

Cookware heat level is a number on a scale of 0 to 10 indicating how well cookware is heated by an induction burner.
At this time, the closer the number is to 10, the faster it heats up, and it is recommended that you use cookware with a heat level of 9 or higher.
