DO NOT obstruct, block, or alter openings or holes. DO NOT stick foreign objects
into these openings.
•
DO NOT use a water jet to clean the appliance. See page 5 in this manual for
proper cleaning procedures.
•
If a large amount of liquid is spilled onto the Apogee interface, it may respond
to the liquid on the interface. Wipe the liquid clean and allow the unit to sit for
approximately 2 seconds untouched and normal sensitivity to the buttons will come
back.
•
Never heat an empty pan. It may damage the cooktop or cookware and overheat
the unit. When overheating occurs, an error code will flash on the LCD Information
Center and the cooktop will shut itself off automatically. When the temperature
returns to normal, the cooktop will start to cook again.
•
Remember to turn the cooktop off after each use.
•
Be sure to dry off the outside of the pan before use. Otherwise, as the pan
temperature rises, the water droplets on the outside of the pan may begin to boil
and patter.
•
DO NOT touch the ceramic plate (or the top of the cooktop) immediately after use.
The heat from the pan will be transferred to the ceramic plate causing it to be
hot to the touch.
The cooktop must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the electric
current. The cooktop has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug, which must be
used in a compatible and properly grounded outlet. It is the owner’s responsibility to
replace any 2-prong wall outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle.
WARNING: Electric shock can result from an improperly grounded plug. Please
consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions about these grounding
instructions.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent, or a similarly qualified person.
Please make sure that the power cord is firmly attached to your CookTek unit
BEFORE plugging the unit into the power receptacle and attempting operation.
Every installation site has different electrical wiring. Because many different local
codes exist, it is the owner and installer’s responsibility to comply with those codes.
CookTek is not responsible for any consequential damages as a result of failure to
comply with installation requirements.
