OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before using for the first time, become familiar with the Infrared Hot Plate
features, (Figure A):
2. This hot plate is equipped with an automatic cooking system, i.e. it heats up
to each setting quickly with its maximum power and then maintains the temperature.
3.
Use the settings as follows:
1-5 - for warming up and keeping warm
4-9 - for moderate temperature cooking
8-12 - for high temperature cooking
4. Rocker switch light will come on when hot plate is plugged into electric outlet
and the rocker switch is put in ON position.
5. Right round signal light will come on when heat control knob is turned from
OFF to a heat setting.
Left round signal light will cycle on & off as the element maintains temperature.
6. Only use pots or pans with a perfect, even bottom and an appropriate diameter.
If the pot bottom is uneven or too small, energy will be wasted.
Do not
use
cooking
containers consisting of synthetic material, inferior enamel, china, or aluminum foil
in any form. If an aluminum pot or pan is used, it must not be allowed to boil dry,
or the pan will warp or melt and the hot plate cooking surface will be permanently
damaged. Always use a pot, pan, or casserole dish for its intended purpose. Only
certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware
are suitable for cooktop use without breaking due to the sudden change in temp-
erature. Check the cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooktop use.
7. The glass ceramic cooking surface and the pot bottom must always be clean
and dry. Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the hot plates heating surface.
8. Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop.
9.
Do not
place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.
10.During use the surfaces will get hot. Please use caution when handling the
appliance to avoid the risk of getting burned! Keep the power cord away from the
cooking plate, as well as the power cords of other adjacent electrical appliances.
In case of signs of damage to the appliance, the power cord or the sealing, or if
the glass plate is broken, immediately unplug the appliance.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This product is for household use only.
NOTE:
A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer
cord sets or extension cords may be used if care is properly exercised in their use. If
a long cord set or extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord set
or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-pronged commercial plug. For safety, this plug
MUST be connected to a 3 pronged outlet. Before connecting power, make sure the
outlets voltage and frequency correspond to the data plate on the hot plate (120V/60hz.)
