Frequently Asked Questions

What is an induction cooktop?

An induction cooktop is a modern cooking appliance that leverages electromagnetic technology to heat the cookware directly through magnetic currents between the cooktop and the cookware, which means faster heating times and precise temperature control. This technology makes induction stove tops comparatively more energy-efficient and safer than conventional cooking stovetops available in the market, as the surface remains cool to touch except where the pot or pan makes contact.

How to clean an induction cooktop?

Cleaning an induction cooktop is a very simple process. Here’s what you need to do -

●      Wait for the surface to cool completely, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent. We suggest you stay clear of abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that might scratch the surface.

●      Clean spills as promptly as you can to prevent them from burning onto the surface.

●      For daily maintenance, a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth does wonders, enhancing the overall life of your appliance.

What cookware is compatible with an induction cooktop?

Only induction compatible cookware is compatible with Beko’s induction cooktop. It is to be noted that induction-compatible cookware must have a flat base made of ferromagnetic material. While buying you need to look for pots and pans labeled as "induction-ready". Here’s a list of induction-compatible materials:

●      Magnetic stainless steel

●      Cast iron

●      Carbon steel

●      Enameled steel or cast iron

Most cookware available in the market have an induction-compatible symbol on the base or packaging. Avoid aluminum, copper and glass.

Will cast iron work on an induction cooktop?

Yes, cast iron works perfectly on induction cooktops due to its high iron content and magnetic properties. However,  it is advised you lift  cast iron cookware to avoid scratching the glass surface. Modern enameled cast iron is particularly suitable as it combines the magnetic properties needed for induction cooking with a smooth base that won't damage your cooktop.

What should I look for when buying an Induction Cooktop?

When finding the perfect induction cooktop, consider these key factors:

●      Size: Choose between 30cm, 60cm, or 90cm based on your kitchen space and specific cooking needs

●      Power levels: Look for multiple power settings for precise temperature control

●      Safety features: Integrated child locks, pan detection, and residual heat indicators

●      Zone flexibility: Consider models that have bridge zones for larger cookware

●      Energy efficiency: Check for energy rating symbols for potential savings on electricity bills

●      Smart features: Some induction models offer WiFi connectivity and automated cooking programs

What is the difference between electric vs induction cooktop?

The main difference lies in how heat is generated. Traditional electric cooktops heat an element that then transfers heat to the cookware, while induction cooktops create heat directly in the cookware through electromagnetic fields. Here’s how induction cooktops vary from electric ones:

●      Faster heating: Up to 50% quicker than traditional electric cooktops

●      Better energy efficiency: Direct heating means less energy waste

●      More precise control: Immediate temperature response like gas

●      Enhanced safety: The surface stays cool except where the pot touches

●      Lower running costs: More efficient energy use means lower power bills

Do induction cooktops require any special installation or wiring?

Yes, installing an induction cooktop requires professional setup by a licensed technician to ensure safe and efficient operation. Induction cooktops draw significantly more power than standard 10-amp appliances, with some models needing up to 40+ amps. For this reason, it’s mandatory to have induction cooktops installed by a licensed, qualified technician. Always refer to your model’s specifications and contact us for detailed installation guidelines.
