Nope.
Cast iron melts at around 1,150 to 1,200°C
Steel melts at around 1,370°C
Copper melts at around 1,085°C
Aluminium melts at around 660°C
Stainless Steel melts at around 1400-1450°C
So unless your pans are made of Cadmium, which melts at 321°C , then at 413°C your pans will all still be in a solid state.
However, if that was a typo and you meant that your pants would melt, then you have a case.

"Previously reached 413 degrees..." but that would melt my pans...:confused:

Never heard so much tosh in all my life! One of the most, if not the most economical forms of cooking and certainly the cleanest. I've had an induction hob for the last 10 years, is used every day and looks as almost as good as the day it was bought. Induction hobs do work well and I for one wouldn't use anything else.

Waited 8 weeks for so called technical support visit to check my HOTPOINT White goods is safe only to be fobbed off with "we are very busy and will contact you in due course". They don't care that my house insurance does NOT cover fire by faulty equipment?
I will never buy any further equipment from Hotpoint, Indesit or Creda.

Do you mean there is a known fault with the model as I can't find any evidence of that? If you mean induction cookers in general, which bit specifically would heat up? they heat the pan without getting hot themselves* so it seems unlikely.
Would that be related to the tumble drier issues? They have rather a lot of people to service and the manufacturer isn't any of those companies, they rebadge the items, so not very surprising it's taking a while to get engineers out. What is the specific fault does anyone know? It looks very much like the general problem with tumble driers, in that some fluff gets through the lint filter and sticks inside the machine and if you don't clean it out it eventually causes a fire. Do the 'affected' models have a particularly bad element position or something? What is the fix? very little actual information online, just panic stories written in the 'press'.
*the glass top plate eventually gets a bit hot through conduction from the pan but nothing like other electric cookers that rely on conduction as the heating method.

Homebase have a good one for £119 , its one i have had fitted at home
Your insurance must include cover for faulty goods! if it doesn't then get some decent insurance! I mean that's how fires start due to faulty appliances....
Unless you meant it doesn't cover you for knowingly using a faulty appliance, then that would be fair enough as they could prove negligence?
