Thank you for purchasing the MC-1400 Single Burner Induction Cooktop. Please read this manual carefully before using your new appliance to familiarize yourself with all its features. In the following pages, you will learn how to properly care for and safely operate your appliance, helping it to perform at peak efficiency for years to come. Please read these instructions before use and save them for future reference.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using the induction cooktop, basic safety precautions should always be followed: 1. Read all instructions before operation. 2. ANY PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER MUST REMAIN AT A MINIMUM DISTANCE OF 5 FEET FROM THE COOKTOP WHILE IT IS TURNED ON. INDUCTION COOKTOPS CREATE MAGNETIC FIELDS WHICH CAN ALTER OR INTERFERE WITH THE PROPER FUNCTION OF A PACEMAKER. IN ADDITION, ANY PERSON WITH A PACEMAKER SHOULD CLARIFY WITH THEIR DOCTOR IF SPECIAL HANDLING STEPS ARE NECESSARY. 3.
13. Inspect the appliance, its power cord and plug for any damages before using. Do not operate if the surface is cracked, if it has been dropped or if there appears to be any damage or if the appliance shows signs of malfunction. Switch off and unplug the unit, and contact MegaChef at 424-543-1628 for information about warranty and repair. 14. Only qualified electricians employed and trained by the manufacturer may carry out any repairs to this appliance.
26. To prevent the risk of electrocution, do not insert objects into the opening of the appliance. 27. Do not plug this appliance to a wall outlet to which other appliances are already connected. 28. Although the cooktop itself does not produce heat during the cooking process, the residual heat of the cookware will heat up the surface and it may become extremely hot. Always protect your hands whenever using a hot appliance by using heat insulating gloves , dish cloths and the likes. 29.
IN CASE OF A FIRE • Unplug the appliance (if necessary, switch off the fuse). • Smother the flames with a large pot lid, plate, moist dish cloth or by using a fire extinguisher. NEVER EXTINGUISH WITH WATER! • Once the fire has been extinguished, allow the cooking utensils and cookware to fully cool down prior to touching. Ensure that there is a sufficient flow of air.
GETTING STARTED SETUP • This appliance must be set on a solid, even, horizontal surface capable of supporting its weight and operation. • This appliance must not be operated on a surface with an iron or steel content, as these material can heat up considerably be hazardous. • Ensure that the setup location is out of the reach of children. • This appliance is not intended to be used as a built-in appliance.
PREVENTING RADIO INTERFERENCES The cooktop can cause interference with radios, televisions and similar appliances. Interferences can be removed or reduced by using the following measures: • Place radios, televisions and similar appliances as far away from the cooktop as possible. • Connect the appliance to a different socket, so different electric circuits are being used for the appliance and the receiver experiencing interference.
• If an extension cord is used, its electrical rating must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. • The extension cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. • When using an extension cord, always ensure that the entire cable is unwound from the reel.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF THE INDUCTION COOKTOP With an induction cooktop, the heat is not transferred by a heating element to the cookware before being transferred to the food to be cooked. Instead, the required heat is generated directly in the pots and pans by induction current (electromagnetic fields). An induction coil under the ceramic glass cooktop generates an alternating electromagnetic field, which passes through the ceramic glass cooktop and induces heat-generated current in the cookware.
CHOOSING YOUR COOKWARE The cookware used with this appliance must be made of metal, have magnetic characteristics and have a flat bottom surface. To decide whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking: • The cookware should have an inscription stating its suitability for induction cooking ( ). • Place a magnet close to the base of your cookware. If the magnet remains strongly attracted to the cookware, it means that it can be used for induction cooking.
**Please check with the manufacturer of your cookware to ensure that it is intended for use on an induction cooking device. **Be cautious whenever using hollow-walled simmer pots. Such pots can boil dry unnoticed, which may lead to damage of the pot and cooktop. **The maximum permissible weight of the pot plus its content must not exceed 13.25 lbs./6kgs.
