Q: How does induction cooking work?
A: Induction cooktops use electromagnetic energy to directly heat cookware, offering faster cooking times, better energy efficiency, and precise temperature control compared to traditional gas or electric cooktops.

A: The PHP9036STSS features five powerful induction elements, allowing you to cook multiple dishes at once with precise control.

Maintenance Tipe
-
Daily Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove spills. Use a cooktop cleaner and a non-abrasive sponge for tougher stains.
-
Avoid Scratches: Use cookware with smooth, flat bottoms to prevent scratching. Avoid sliding heavy pots across the surface.
-
Clean Spills Immediately: Sugary or acidic spills (e.g., syrup, tomato sauce) can cause permanent damage if left too long. Wipe them off as soon as the surface cools.
-
Use Proper Cookware: Only use induction-compatible cookware with magnetic bottoms for efficient heating and to avoid damage.
-
Keep Vents Clear: Ensure the cooktop’s ventilation system remains unobstructed to prevent overheating.
-
Check Controls & Sensors: Periodically test the touch controls to ensure they are responsive and free of residue that could affect performance.
-
Power Surges & Resetting: If the cooktop is unresponsive, reset it by turning off the circuit breaker for a few minutes before turning it back on.
-
Avoid Impact Damage: Do not drop heavy items on the cooktop, as the glass surface can crack or shatter.
-
Protect from Excess Heat: Do not place hot lids or non-induction cookware directly on the surface, as it may cause discoloration.
-
Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains, use a cooktop scraper designed for glass surfaces along with an approved ceramic cooktop cleaner.
