Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any health concerns with using an induction cooktop?
Some people raise concerns about the electromagnetic field from the induction cooktops interfering with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). According to General Electric Appliances, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defined a strict standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields. Although we are confident Induction Cooktops don’t pose a risk to those with pacemakers and ICDs, we recommend that users should consult with their doctors or pacemaker manufacturers before use.
Will induction cooking affect my electricity bill?
No, an induction cooker transfers electrical energy through a magnetic field straight from the cooktop to the pan making it extremely energy efficient. This technology incurred minimal wastage of energy compared to open flame, gas cooking and normal electric cooktops.
What impact do induction cooktops have on indoor air quality?
A recent study conducted by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab found that homes with gas stove tops and a poorly vented range hood had indoor air quality levels that sometimes exceeded outdoor air quality standards. Induction cooktops are a safe and reliable alternative for your kitchen that produces 30x less indoor air pollutants than natural gas cooktops.
