When using your hOme
™
Induction Cooktop (appliance), basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and/or injury to persons. Incorrect operation
due to ignoring instructions may cause harm or damage.
•
Read all instructions.
•
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.
•
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or wear gloves.
•
Do not cook when the appliance is broken or otherwise malfunctioning. When the surface
of the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock.
•
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on the hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.
•
Do not clean your Induction Cooktop with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
•
Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the appliance since they
can get hot.

The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.

The appliance must be placed on a flat, firm and dry surface. Never move the appliance
when it is in use.
•
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
•
Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord.
Keep the cord away from traffic areas, and do not submerge in water or any other liquid.

We do not recommend the use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk of
fire.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

Disconnect the mains plug from the socket when not in use for a long time.
