Its all about the pans.
Youre using the wrong pans
The biggest mistake you could be making is using the wrong pans.
Top tip
you might find out if your pans are induction-compatible by testing them with a magnet.
If your pans have a strong magnetic pull to the magnet, they will work on an induction cooktop.
This problem can be avoided by using pans that are the same size as the induction coil.
Only the area of the pan touching the coil will receive heat.
Start by checking the power level youve selected.
This 12-piece set of bronze-colored pans is ultra-non-stick and suitable for induction cooking.
The anodized construction makes it two times harder than stainless steel.
However, where human error is often easy to correct, this isnt often the case with appliance faults.
Before resetting the sensors, follow the tips above to see if they help.
If not, switch off your appliance and leave it for a few minutes before restarting it.
This may help to reset the sensors so that they work correctly.
If the sensors are still not detecting your pans, check your appliance manual for further advice.
