SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To ensure safe operation, read the following statements and understand
their meaning. This manual contains safety precautions which are
explained below. Please read carefully.
Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause severe personal injury or death.
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause minor or major personal injury if the caution is ignored.
NOTICE: Notice is used to note information that is important but not
hazard-related.
To reduce risk of injury or damage to the equipment:
• Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet when not in use.
• Use this equipment only in a flat, level position.
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse the cord or plug
in water. Keep the cord away from heated surface. Do not let the
cord hang over the edge of table or counter.
• As a precaution, persons using a pacemaker should stand back 12"
(30 cm) from an operating unit. Studies have shown that the
induction element will not disrupt a pacemaker.
• Keep all credit cards, driver licenses and other items with a magnetic
strip away from an operating unit. The unit’s magnetic field will
damage the information on these strips.
• The heating surface is made of a strong, non-porous material.
However, should it crack or break, stop using and immediately
unplug the unit. Cleaning solutions and spills could penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.

not functioning properly.
• Do not operate unattended. Closely supervise units operating in
public areas and/or around children.

COOKWARE REQUIREMENTS
Note:

well. Cookware with a larger base diameter can be used, however only
the area of the cookware above the induction coil will heat. The more
cookware extends past the coil, the more the overall performance will
be reduced.
