SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
GROUNDED PLUG
To reduce the risk of electric shock this appliance has a grounded
plug (2 blades and 1 pin). If the plug does not fit fully into the electrical
outlet contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any
way or use an adaptor.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Place a pot with water on the element(s) and turn the Temperature
Control Knob(s) to the MAX position. Allow the unit to heat on the MAX
setting for 10 – 15 minutes. This will burn off any manufacturing oils on
any inside parts of the Cooktop. During this process, a small amount of
smoke may be seen coming from under the Cooktop and/or around the
Temperature Control Knob(s).
HOW TO USE YOUR PORTABLE COOKTOP
Any flat-bottomed pot or container that can be used on a conventional
electric stove element can also be used on the Portable Cooktop. For
maximum heat transfer, cookware that has a solid perfectly flat bottom
is recommended. Cookware made from solid aluminum or some other
material with an encapsulated aluminum base will provide the best
results. Any cookware can be used to reheat but if maximum energy is
required, such as boiling water, please use the recommended cookware.
1. Place the Portable Cooktop. onto a smooth, dry, flat surface. Be sure
that the knobs are in the ‘0’ position and plug into any 120 Volt A.C.
outlet. Once the unit is plugged into the wall outlet the red indicator
light will glow until it is unplugged.
2. Place filled cookware on element.
3. Turn Control Knob clockwise to desired setting. The green Indicator
Light will glow and go ‘on’ and ‘off’ as the selected temperature is
automatically maintained.
IMPORTANT:
•
DO NOT preheat before using.
•
DO NOT switch on before cookware is placed on the element.
•
UNPLUG unit after use.
