If you're new to the world of induction cooking, turning on your induction cooktop can seem daunting. This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, ensuring a smooth start to your culinary adventures with this advanced technology.
Steps to Turn On Your Induction Cooktop

Switch On the Unit: Locate the main power button, often marked with a universal power symbol. A single touch or press will activate the cooktop, usually indicated by a display light or beep sound.
