OPERATING AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
World Wide Induction Ran

BEFORE USING YOUR
INDUCTION RANGE
 As a precaution, persons using a pacemaker should
stand back 30 cm from an operating unit. Studies have
shown that the induction element will not disrupt a
pacemaker.
 The cooking surface is made of a strong, non-porous
material. However, should it crack or break, stop using
and immediately unplug the unit.
 Do not place spoons, kitchen utensils, pan lids or other
small objects on the cooking surface while the unit is
operating. They may become hot. The unit is equipped
with a “small object detection” feature to prevent small
objects from accidentally heating if placed alone on the
cooking surface. However, if they are placed on the
cooking surface with a suitable piece of cookware that
activates the unit, the smaller object may also become
hot.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The cooking surface gets very hot.
Hot surfaces and hot cookware can burn
skin. Allow the induction range and any
cookware to cool before handling.
 Keep all credit cards, driver licenses and other items
with a magnetic information strip away from the unit.
The unit’s magnetic field will damage the information
on these strips.
OPERATION
1. Place the induction range on a flat, level surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet
with the matching nameplate rated voltage.
IMPORTANT: Using a voltage other than the nameplate
rated voltage will cause damage to the unit.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Keep water from entering the inside
of the unit. If liquid spills or boils over
onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit
and wipe up any liquid. The liquid could
enter the electrical compartment and
cause an electrical shock.
3. Place induction-ready cookware containing food in the
center position of a hob.
IMPORTANT: Do not pre-heat empty cookware. Because
of the speed and efficiency of the induction range, cookware
can very quickly overheat and be damaged.
IMPORTANT: Do not drop cooking utensils or other
objects onto the cooking surface. The strong, non-porous
surface will break. The warranty does not cover this type of
abuse.
4. Press the ON/OFF button. The power level display will
light.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Induction ranges heat extremely
fast, much faster than most other types of
stovetops or ranges. Be very careful when
adding food to pre-heated oil, liquid or
other food already in the cookware. Hot
food and liquids can burn skin.
 The unit is equipped with an “over-heating protection”
feature. If the temperature of the cooking surface
becomes too hot, the unit will turn off. The display will
flash “F2” to indicate the unit is in “over-heating
protection” mode. After the unit has cooled, turn the
hob on and if “F2” is not displayed, then cooking can
resume.
 The display window should remain constant during
operation. If the display is flashing, see the
Troubleshooting section in this manual.
 Removing cookware from the cooking surface for more
than five minutes will cause the unit to automatically
turn off. Removing cookware for less than five minutes
will not interrupt operation of the unit.
