FAQ

Q.

What types of cookware are compatible with induction?

A.

Only cookware with a magnetic base is compatible. Look for pans labeled “induction-ready” or “IH” marked. Suitable materials include stainless steel (if magnetic), cast iron, and some enameled steel. Cookware must also have a flat bottom and be the right size for the cooking zone.

Q.

Is the cooktop surface hot during use?

A.

Yes, the ceramic surface can become hot due to residual heat transferred from the pan. A hot surface indicator stays on until the surface cools down.

Q.

Can I monitor the cooktop from my phone?

A.

Yes. The cooktop has built-in Wi-Fi and can be monitored using the LG ThinQ® app, which provides status updates and notifications.

Q.

What happens if I forget to turn it off?

A.

The cooktop includes safety shutoff features. If a zone is turned on without cookware or if no power level is selected, it will shut off automatically after a short period. A residual heat indicator also stays lit.

Q.

How loud is the cooling fan?

A.

The cooling fan may be noticeable, especially with heavy use, but this is normal. It may continue to run even after the cooking zones are off, to cool down the unit.

Q.

Is installation included?

A.

No. Installation must be done by a qualified technician and is not included with the product.

Q.

How does induction heat food?

A.

Induction uses magnetic fields to heat the cookware directly, not the cooktop surface. Heat is generated instantly at the base of the pot for fast, efficient cooking.

Q.

Why does my cooktop make a buzzing or clicking sound?

A.

Buzzing and clicking are normal during induction operation, especially with lightweight or empty cookware or when using Boost mode

Q.

What happens if I use the wrong pan?

A.

If incompatible or improperly sized cookware is used, the cooktop may not detect it and the element will not activate. A compatible magnetic bottom is required.

Q.

Can I use this cooktop if I have a pacemaker?

A.

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using or standing near an

induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic field may affect the working of the

pacemaker or similar medical device. It would be advisable to consult your doctor or the pacemaker or

medical device manufacturer about your particular situation.

Q.

Does the timer turn off the element?

A.

No. The Timer acts as a simple timer and does not turn off the cooking zone.

Q.

What safety features are built in?

A.

Features include residual heat indicators, automatic shutoff if cookware is not detected, Control Lock, a Pause function, and a fan to manage internal temperature.

Q.

What should I do if an error code appears?

A.

Turn the power off and on again to turn off the error code. If the problem continues, turn the circuit breaker off for 60 seconds and turn it back on. If the problem is not fixed, contact a local LG service center or Customer Information Center

The cooktop remains cooler, making it safer and easier to clean. Plus, our red LED indicator bars display the power level of each element for easy monitoring.
