Troubleshooting
Uneven cooking or hot spots on the base.
Ensure the hob is set to the correct heat level. For induction, verify the pan is centered correctly on the zone. The hot-forged base is designed for even distribution, so check that no food debris is impeding contact.
Discoloration on the stainless steel interior.
This can sometimes be caused by overheating or mineral deposits from water. For heat tinting (blue/brown discoloration), a specialized stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water can often remove it. For stubborn marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel.
Saucepan sticks to induction hob.
Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry. There should be no food residue or moisture between the pan and the hob surface. The induction hob is functioning correctly if the pan sticks; this is a sign of magnetic compatibility.
