Using the Timer
In either the POWER or TEMP functions, you can set the cooking time
by pressing the TIMER button.
Once the TIMER button is pressed, “
0000

press “

” to set the hour; the maximum time is 23 hours and 59
minutes. Hold down the “
+

digits, or press and release to advance one digit at a time. If you pause
for more than 5 seconds while setting the hour, the hour will be set. Set
the minutes in the same way.
To set the timer for less than an hour, pause for 5 seconds after first
pressing TIMER. Hour will be set as “00”; proceed to set minutes.
Once desired cook time is set, press the TIMER button to confirm the
time, and a beep will sound. Power or wattage and time will cycle in the
display for your reference. You can still adjust the power or wattage by
pressing “
+
” or “

When using the timer, the unit can be shut off manually by
pressing the ON/OFF button. After being manually shut off, the previous

and all indicators will turn off.

Operation can be terminated at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button. When cooking program ends, the internal cooling fan
will continue running for 30 seconds.

Safety Features
1
Over-voltage protection and lower-voltage protection.
When power
voltage is too high or low, the induction cooker will compensate
voltage automatically and adjust output power.
2
Non-cookware detection.
If a metal object less than 3 inches in
diameter is accidentally placed on the cook-top, the unit will not
start heating.
3
No-load or improper pan placement detection.
The unit will not
operate when there is no pot or pan placed on the hotplate, when
the pot or pan is off-center or misplaced, or when the material of the
pot or pan is not suitable for induction cooking. An alert beep will
sound until suitable cookware is placed properly.
4
Over temperature protection.
When the temperature of top hotplate
is too high, the induction cooker will stop automatically and a long
buzzer will sound until the temperature returns to normal.
5
Power surge protection.
If there is a power surge during operation,
the induction cooker will stop automatically and, in a minute,
resume operation.
