If an extension cord is used:

►The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the

electrical rating of the appliance. The rating plate with the connection and

performance data can be founded on the back of the device.

► The cord should be arranged so that it does not drape over a countertop or

table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

► When using an extension lead, always make sure that the entire cable is

unwound from the reel.

► To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a polarized plug (one

blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet

only one way.

► If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug and try again.

► If it still does not fit properly, contact a qualified electrician to install the

proper outlet.

► Do not alter the plug in any way.

► Do not force the plug under any circumstances.

The use of a multi-plug outlet adapter (power strip) is not recommended due

to fire danger.

Inspect the power cord for damage and ensure it doesn’t run under the

appliance or over hot or sharp surfaces.

Ensure to always use a safe wall socket to connect the appliance.

The appliance can cause interference with radios, televisions or similar

appliances.

If you notice interference with any other electrical appliance, please relocate

this unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

**Using the induction ready pots of some manufacturers can lead to the

occurrence of noises that are due to the design of these pots.

Place a magnet (e.g. a magnet from a magnetic board)

close to the base of your cooking pot. If it is strongly

attracted then you can use the cooking pot on the induction

cooktop.

SELECTING YOUR COOKWARE

With an induction cooktop, the heat is not transferred by a heating element to

the cookware. Instead, the required heat is generated directly in the pots and

pans by induction currents (electromagnetic fields).

An induction coil under the ceramic glass cooktop generates an alternating

electromagnetic field, which passes through the ceramic glass cooktop and

induces the heat-generating current in the cookware.

Here is how to decide if the pot is suitable:

Ensure that the cookware has an inscription stating its suitability for cooking

with induction current ( ), or perform the following magnet test :

Cookware used for the induction cooktop must be made of metal, have

magnetic characteristics and have a sufficient, flat bottom surface.
