WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the
inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause
an electrical shock.
If liquid spills or boils over onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit
and remove cookware. Wipe up any liquid with a padded cloth.
1. Place the induction-ready cookware containing food in the center position
of a heating surface.
NOTE:
Do not pre-heat empty cookware. Because of the speed and
efficiency of the induction range, cookware can very quickly
overheat and be damaged.
NOTE:
Do not drop cooking utensils or other objects onto the cooking
surface. The strong, non-porous surface will break. The warranty
does not cover this type of abuse.
2. Press the ON/OFF button. The DISPLAY panel will show a power level
or the HEAT DISPLAY LED will light. When an induction ready cookware
pan is placed on the heating surface, the DISPLAY panel will remain on,
or the HEATING LED will illuminate. This indicates the unit is heating.
WARNING
Burn Hazard.
Do not touch cookware, heating surface, food, or
liquid while heating.
Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Induction heating surfaces heat
very rapidly. Use caution when adding pre-heated oil, liquid or other
food already in the cookware.
Units with DISPLAY panels are equipped with an “over-heating protection”
feature. If the temperature of the cooking surface becomes too hot, the unit
will turn off. The display will flash “F2” to indicate the unit is in “over-heating
protection” mode. After the unit has cooled, turn the cooking surface on and if
“F2” is not displayed, then cooking can resume.
The display window should remain constant during operation. If the display is
flashing, see the
TROUBLESHOOTING
section in this manual.
Removing cookware from the cooking surface for more than five minutes will
cause the unit to automatically turn off. Removing cookware for less than five
minutes will not interrupt operation of the unit.
All units will start in Power Mode when turned on first time.
