Installing the Induction Cooktop
• Place the device on a stable and level surface.
• Never place the device on a fl ammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.).
• Do not block the ventilation slots of the device. This may overheat the device.
Keep a Min. distance of 2 to 4 inches to walls or other items.
• Do not place the induction hotplate next to devices or objects, which react
sensitively to magnetic fi elds (e.g. radios, TVs, cassette recorders, etc.).
• Do not place induction hotplates next to open fi res, heaters or other sources of
heat.
• Make sure that the main connection cable is not damaged or squashed beneath
the device.
• Make sure that the main connection cable does not come into contact with sharp
edges and/or hot surfaces.
• Prior to connecting the device, check whether the voltage indicated on the type
plate corresponds to the voltage supply in your home. A wrong connection may
lead to grave damage on the device and injury to persons.
• The hotplate’s surface consists of temperature-resistant ceramics. In case of
damage, even if this concerns only a small tear, disconnect the device from the
power supply immediately and contact the customer service.
• We recommend not placing any metallic kitchen utensils, cookware or pan lids,
knives or other metallic objects on the hotplate. These may heat up when the
device is turned on.
• Do not place any magnetically objects like credit cards, cassettes etc. on the
glass surface while the device is in operation.
• On order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminium foil or metal plates on
the device.
• Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots. Attention:
this may cause electric shocks.
• Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic fi eld. Please note: the induction
hotplate does not heat up itself during cooking, but the temperature of the
cookware heats up the hotplate!
• Do not heat up any unopened tins on the induction hotplate. A heated tin could
explode; therefore remove the lid under all circumstances beforehand.
• Scientifi c tests have proven that induction hotplates do not pose a risk. However,
persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance of 24 inches to the
device while it is in operation.
• The cooktop’s surface is made of temperature-resistant glass. In the event that
damage to the unit is observed, even if it is only a small crack on the glass
surface, disconnect the induction cooktop from the power supply immediately
and contact our customer service department by calling 1.800.207.0806.
