1 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 Flex.
2 Surface: The NuWave PIC
Flex's heat-resistant glass
surface stays cool to the
touch and cleans easily
with the simple wipe of a
damp cloth.
3 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.

CAUTION
While the PIC Flex is in
operation, do not touch the
appliance's surface as it may
become very hot, leading to
the risk of burns. Cooktop
may retain residual heat after
cookware has been removed.

INDUCTION COOKING

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. 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 base sandwiched
in between. Pots that function
optimally with the PIC Flex 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
the heating circle. You may use
pans measuring up to the total
width of the PIC Flex, which
measures 10 inches. However, in
these situations, heat will transfer
more slowly to the outer edges.
Not recommended for pans
larger than 10 inches.

How do I check my cookware
for induction compatibility?
Three simple ways to check
if existing pots and pans, or
future cookware purchases, are
compatible with the PIC Flex:
1. A magnet is typically a
great indicator. If it sticks
to the bottom of a piece
of cookware, this typically
means the pot or pan is
induction-ready. However,
be cautioned that there are
instances when a cooking
vessel's magnetic properties
may not be strong enough for
the pot to work efficiently with
the PIC Flex.
2. Place a small amount of
water in a pot or pan and
place on the PIC Flex
while operating. If induction
compatible, water will begin
to boil.
3. An induction-
ready symbol
may be printed
on the bottom
of the cookware.
Getting Started

1. Set cooking time and press
Start to begin cooking.
Default temperature is 375F
(191C).
• Temperature can be
adjusted by pressing -
or +.
Watts
The default wattage of the PIC
Flex is 1300 watts.
1. To change the wattage,
press Watts once. The light
will illuminate above 600,
indicating that the PIC Flex is
now set to 600 watts.
2. Press Watts again. The
red light above 900 will
illuminate, indicating the PIC
Flex is now set to 900 watts.
3. Press Watts once more and
the red light above 1300 will
illuminate, indicating that the
PIC Flex is now set to the
default 1300 watts.
Start
The PIC Flex is preset to cook
on Med/High (375F/191C) for 1
Start
hour.
375F
1. Place an induction-ready pot
on surface. Press Start.
2. To cook at a power level
other than Med/High,
press Low, Max/Sear, or
press - or + to increase or
