How Induction Cooking Works
The elements beneath the cooking surface produce
a magnetic field that causes the electrons in the
ferrous metal pan to vibrate and produce heat.
The cooking surface itself does not heat. Heat
is produced in the cooking pan, and cannot be
generated until a pan is placed on the cooking
surface.
When the element is activated, the pan begins to
heat immediately and in turn heats the contents of
the pan.
Magnetic induction cooking requires the use of
cookware made of ferrous metals—metals to
which magnets will stick, such as iron or steel.
Induction cookware must be used with the Paragon Cooktop, see page 10 for a

Use pans that have at least a 6 inch diameter along
the bottom, this will ensure that it is large enough
to most e ciently work with the cooking element
The cooktop will not operate if a very small steel
or iron utensil (less than the minimum size across
the bottom) is placed on the cooking surface when
the unit is turned on—items such as steel spatulas,
cooking spoons, knives and other small utensils.
The pan material is correct if a
magnet sticks to the bottom.
