Our system is designed with a noise locator, or a device that emits a beeping sound that starts when you turn on your unit and audibly designates the burner you want to use.  The beeping will stop when your pan connects with the cooktop surface.

However, there are other options you can work out with your dealer in order to locate the burner. For example, you may have them etch a spot for each burner, or simply ask them to place a sticker there until you have a feeling for where the burner is.

We recommend large format porcelain material that is 12mm thick from numerous brand manufactures which you will find listed on the our website.  Granite may also be used, which is milled to 1.5cm in the area of the cooktop, but Natural Stone Disclosure form must be read and understood as well, which is the in the download section.

Compatible Cookware

There are many induction quality pots and pans on the market, however, the most compatible pans for the Invisacook are a full clad stainless-steel, thick magnet bottom pan, and Invisacookware.

Non Compatible: Aluminum, all-copper, or glass cookware will not work unless they have a layer on the bottom with magnetic properties. Many manufacturers have started adding a magnetic layer to the bottom of those types of pots and pans; however, it can be very thin and will take longer to heat up than a high-quality induction pan.

NOTE: Cast Iron pans are induction, however, they do get extremely hot due to the content of metals within them, and reflect a large amounts of heat, which over time will not be good for your countertop. Invisacook asks that you don’t use this type of cookware when using the Invisacook.

Testing for Compatibility

To tell if a pot or pan is compatible with your induction stove, hold a magnet to the bottom.

  • If the magnet clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction cooktop.
  • If the magnet grabs the pan softly, you may not have good success with it on your cooktop.
  • If there is no pull on the magnet, it doesn’t contain the right metals and will not generate heat.

Note: Many manufacturers have started putting an “induction compatible” symbol on the bottom of their cookware or note compatibility on the packaging. The symbol often looks like a horizontal coil.

Invisacook FAQ's 1

Nothing need to be done to your cookware, but we provide you an InvisaMat for each burner for the following reasons:

1. Prevent pans hitting your countertop.
2. Prevent scratches from blemishing your countertop.
3. Keep the metal from your pan from touching your countertop, helping countertop stay cooler longer.

Only the proper care recommended by the stone fabricator and countertop manufacturer are needed.
For granite countertops, we do recommend re-sealing every couple of months over the cooktop location.

Yes, 220v twist lock receptacle is needed for the 2-3-4 & 5 burner unit and 110v receptacle for the 1- and 2-burner units. All units are to be plugged in but also can be hardwired, as required in some countries.

Yes. With the Tuya App, you can wirelessly use the cooktop from a remote location.

This is the result of the burners sharing power. With multiple burners on, the unit will automatically attempt to work as efficiently as possible. That being said, there is no need to worry — your burners are still receiving adequate levels of power in order to maintain efficient cooking temperatures.

Yes. The surface will get warmer and warmer over time as you cook, eventually becoming hot to the touch. For your standard short cooking time, the surface will not get that hot. However, once you have surpassed about 10 minutes’ worth of cooking time, the surface will be hot and you should exercise caution around the area in use.  Also when cooking keep in mind that Induction is a very quick heating process, so when frying food, you only need a Level 6 on your controller, and Power Boost is to only be used when Boiling water.
