How to Use Your OMEO Induction Cooktop — A Simple Guide for First-Time Users
Induction cooking is faster, safer, and more energy-efficient than gas or electric stoves — but only when used correctly.
If your cooktop isn’t heating or shows an error code, don’t worry — it’s usually a quick fix. Here’s everything you need to know to master your OMEO cooktop in minutes.

⚙️ 1. Meet Your Cooktop — Button Functions Explained
Each button on your OMEO Single Induction Cooktop is designed for precision and convenience. Here’s what each one does:
💡 Tip: Always use the cooktop on a flat, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
🍳 2. Choose the Right Cookware
Induction works through magnetism, not open heat.
Only pans with a magnetic bottom will heat up.
| ✅ Works | ❌ Doesn’t Work |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel | Aluminum |
| Cast iron | Glass |
| Magnetic base pans | Ceramic |
Quick test: Hold a magnet to your pan’s base — if it sticks firmly, it’s induction-ready.
