PARTS IDENTIFICATION

SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE

Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. Size, shape, and construction
are all factors for suitable cookware.

1. Suitable Cookware: the base of the cookware must be made of ferrous magnetic materials
including cast iron, carbon steel, magnetic stainless steel or cast aluminum with an induction
rated base.

2. Unsuitable Cookware: will cause an E0 error and will not operate.

3. In general, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of suitable cookware, it will work on your
induction cooktop. A magnet is included for you to use to test your cookware.

4. If proper cookware is not available we offer an Induction Interface Disk (#6010) that will provide
the necessary connectivity between the induction cooktop and your non-suitable cookware. It is
normal for reduced efficiency when using the Interface Disk.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, please see the Troubleshooting Guide. Caution: Always use
a dedicated outlet. This unit is designed to operate on 120V and will require 15A. For optimum
performance of your unit, use only one appliance per outlet.

Setup

1. Place the unit on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from other objects to allow proper
ventilation from the COOL AIR INLET and WARM AIR EXHAUST FAN.

2. Plug the POWER CORD into a dedicated 120V/15A electrical socket. The red POWER
INDICATOR LIGHT will illuminate.

3. Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the proper cookware, place on the
glass plate, and center it over the COOKWARE PLACEMENT GUIDES.

4. Touch the ON/Off symbol to turn the unit on. The cooling fan will run and the LCD display will
default to the HEAT mode and PL-1 setting.

NOTE: It is normal for the cooling fan to operate for up to 2 minutes after the unit has powered off.

Touchpad Controls

All operations are easily controlled using the touchpad. Separate HEAT and TEMP modes provide
different cooking functions for greater flexibility and the LOCK will set your cooking program so
accidental changes cannot be made. Use the TIMER to automatically turn off all programming within
1-180 minutes.

HEAT Mode (10 settings)

This mode adjusts the wattage (power) applied to the cookware. This mode is used for quick heat-up
and where close temperature control is not a requirement. Use the TEMP mode if strict temperature
control is required.

1. Touch the FUNCTION symbol to select the HEAT mode. The default PL-1 will appear in the LCD
display along with the Heat icon. Use the  symbols to increase or decrease the power as
needed.

2. The one-touch BOIL function will instantly select the PL-10 setting.

3. Touch the LOCK symbol at any time to lock in your desired setting. To unlock, touch and hold the
LOCK symbol for 2 seconds or power the unit off.

4. The power level is adjustable from 500 to 1800 watts. Maximum power levels may not be
achieved with some cookware if it is approaching the unsuitable size and form restraints listed
on pg. 3. For example a pan with a 4.5” to 6” diameter base will reach a maximum 1000-1200
watts but using a pan with more than a 6” base will achieve higher watts.

TEMP Mode (15 settings)

This mode is best when more accurate cooking temperature control is needed. It is important to
realize that the following settings measure the temperature of the base of your cookware and not the
temperature of the food you are cooking.

1. Touch the FUNCTION symbol to select the TEMP mode. The default temperature is 100°F
(simmer). Use the  symbols to increase or decrease the temperature as needed.

2. The one-touch SIMMER function will instantly select the 100°F setting.

3. Touch the LOCK symbol at any time to lock in your desired setting. To unlock, touch and hold the
LOCK symbol for 2 seconds or power the unit off.

SIMMER 100º
LOW 125º-150º
MED-LOW 175º-250º
MEDIUM 275º-325º
MED-HIGH 350º-400º
HIGH 425º-450º

TIMER

180-minute timer is adjustable in 1-minute increments.

1. Touch the TIMER symbol. 1 minute will display in the LCD window. Use the  symbols to
increase or decrease the time as needed.

2. The time will count down until the set time has elapsed. The unit will beep and all cooking
operations will shut down.

3. All functions are still operational when the timer is set. Every 5 seconds the programmed
function and the remaining time will alternate in the LCD window.

4. To reset or turn off the timer, touch the TIMER symbol.
