Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing this induction cooktop by Summit Appliance. We expect
it to bring you many years of satisfied use. Please read this instruction manual
carefully before use and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
Working principle of an induction cooktop
Induction uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware made of magnetic material (steel,
iron, nickel or various alloys). When the unit is turned on, the coils produce a high
frequency alternating magnetic field, which ultimately flows through the cookware.
Molecules in the cookware move back and forth rapidly, causing the cookware to become
hot and cook the food. The cooktop's glass-ceramic surface is unaffected by the magnetic
field since it contains no magnetic material. The heat of the pan will warm the glass;
however, the cooktop will remain much cooler to the touch than other smooth-top
surfaces.
Safety features of the induction cooktop
1. High-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor monitors the temperature inside the induction cooktop. When
an excessive temperature is registered, the cooktop will stop operation automatically.
2. Detection of Small Cookware
If a pot is less than 12
0 mm (4.7”) in diameter, the induction cooktop may not work.
3. Auto shutdown protection
Auto shutdown is a safety protection function for your induction cooktop. It will shut
down automatically even if you forget to turn off your cooking. The induction cooktop
will shut down automatically if there is no operation within 2 hours.
When a pot is removed, the induction cooktop can stop heating immediately and shut
down after the buzzer sounds for 1 minute.
Reminder: Patients with pacemakers should check with their doctor before
