Medium Power Countertop Induction Ranges with Knob Control Operator’s Manual
Cookware is not Heating
The range turned off after 10
minutes.
There is not a pot or pan on the induction
range or it is not induction-ready
cookware, so the induction range turned
off. This is normal.
Verify the cookware is induction ready. See the Cookware
Requirements section of this manual.
The pan suddenly stopped
heating. No power level or
temperature is displayed.
The timer was in use and time expired. The
range stopped heating the pan.
This is normal. A program that includes a timer stage may have been
in use or the timer may have been inadvertently activated.
Vollrath logo is not illuminated
even though the range is
plugged in.
There may be problem with the electrical
supply.
Try plugging another piece of equipment into the outlet to verify the
outlet is working.
Verify the voltage at the outlet matches the voltage rating on the
nameplate located on the underside of the range.
The fuse may need to be replaced.
See the Fuse Replacement instructions in this manual.
Food Not Heating as Expected
Food is not heating evenly or
seems to be taking too long to
heat.
There could be an issue with the cookware.
Verify the cookware is compatible. See the Cookware Requirements
section in this manual.
The food may need more time to heat to
the desired temperature.
For faster heating times, try using power level mode instead of
temperature mode.
The cookware may be too large.
With induction cooking, only the area of a pan that makes contact with
the induction coil will heat.
Trying to heat too much food at once.
In general, larger amounts of food take longer to heat. For faster
heating times, try heating less food at a time. For best performance,
stir food often.
Insufficient airflow around the range.
Refer to the Clearance Requirements section of this manual.
Ambient temperature may be too high.
The cooking application may not match the
intended use of the range.
