Nuwave PIC Pro Chef Owner Manual
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Ventilation: Air vents are located on the back of the product to allow any heat generated by the heating element to escape. This design feature prevents heat transfer to the cooking surface and ensures efficient performance of the NuWave PIC Pro Chef.
- Surface: The NuWave PIC Pro Chef’s heat-resistant glass surface stays cool to the touch and cleans easily with the simple wipe of a damp cloth.
- Control Panel with LED Display: Clearly lit, easy-to-read control panel.
- Heat Source: Electromagnetic coils located below the glass surface transfer generated heat directly to induction-ready cookware.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
IMPORTANT TIPS
- Check power outlets to ensure proper operation. Do not use in an outlet where other major appliances are engaged. Check settings if the unit is
cooking too slowly. - The electrical plug must be properly plugged into the outlet.
- Do not block the ventilation slots of the induction cooktop. This may cause the unit to overheat. Maintain a minimum distance of 3-5 inches from walls and other objects, appliances, etc.
- devices or objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields on top of or next to the NuWave PIC Pro Chef (e.g. credit cards, cellphones, radios,TVs, video recorders, etc.).
- The induction cooktop in the proximity of open fires, heaters or other heat sources do not use.
- Do not place on stovetop.
- Ensure that the power cable is not compressed beneath the induction cooktop.
- The power cable must not come into contact with sharp edges and/or hot surfaces.
- Prior to connecting the NuWave PIC Pro Chef, confirm that the voltage needs indicated in this manual correspond to the voltage supply in
your home. - A wrong connection may lead to the property damage and possible injury.
- The cooktop’s surface is made from temperature-resistant glass.
- In the event that damage to the unit is observed, even a small crack on the glass surface, immediately disconnect the NuWave PIC Pro Chef from the power supply.

INDUCTION COOKTOP-COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
As induction technology is based on magnetic principles, compatible cookware must have a ferrous (iron-based, magnetic) bottom. Some types of cookware are made of naturally magnetic metals (such as pure iron), while others are rendered magnetic by “sandwiching” a thin layer of a ferrous metal within the base.This layer will be acted upon by the magnetic field of the induction cooktop to distribute heat. Tri-ply, high-quality stainless steel and cast-iron cookware will work with induction cooktops. Copper, glass, and aluminum cookware will not work unless they have a magnetic layer sandwiched in the base. Pots that function optimally with the NuWave PIC Pro Chef tend to be medium to heavy gauge.
ATTENTION
The heating surface is located inside the thicker silver ring. The minimum diameter of acceptable cookware is 3 inches. Always place cookware in the
center of heating center. You may use pans measuring up to the total width of the NuWave PIC Pro Chef, which measures 11.4 inches. However, in these
situations, heat will transfer more slowly to the outer edges. Not recommended for pans larger than 11 inches.
Examples of compatible cookware
- All NuWave Cookware
- Cast iron
- Enameled iron and steel
- Stainless steel with magnetic base
Non-induction-compatible cookware
- Copper
- Glass
- Aluminum
TROUBLESHOOTING
| Error Message | Solution |
|
E1 | An E1 reading typically means that your NuWave PIC Pro Chef does not detect cookware on its surface. This can occur for one of two reasons: 1. The induction coils contained within the NuWave PIC Pro Chef will only work when they are in direct contact with a piece of cookware. To maintain your appliance’s effectiveness, always ensure that it rests on a flat surface and that contact is consistent with your cookware. 2. An E1 message may also occur if your chosen cookware is not induction-ready.
If the PIC Pro Chef is locked and E1 appears: • Simply unlock by pressing both “Prog” and “Low” and then press “Start” again. • If you press, “Pause/Clear” twice, you will need to restart the previous program. |
