IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the fo llowing:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces! Always use hot pads or pot holders until unit cools.

3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse unit, cord or plug in water or other liquid. Also make sure that no water or steam can infiltrate the underside.

4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool completely before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storing the appliance.

6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. If cracks, fissures or breakage occur, immediately turn off the appliance and disconnect the plug.

Inappropriate repairs may result in considerable dangers for the user! Return the appliance to the Cadco Factory

Service Department (call 860-738-2500 for Return Authorization first) for examination, repair or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

10. Do not pla ce on or near a hot gas or elect ric burner or i n a heated oven.

11. Place unit on a heat-resistant, stable and plain working surface. The space above the appliance must be free and the distance from the wall must be at least 4” on all sides to ensure unhindered air circulation.

12. Overheated fat or oil can ignite. This is why foods containing fat or oil must be prepa red under supervision only.

13. It is recommended that this appliance not be moved when the pot or pan on it contains hot oil or other hot liquid.

14. Always turn any control to “OFF” before removing plug from wall outlet.

15. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. They can scratch and ruin the finish of your unit.

16. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

17. DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKTOP. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.

18. Clean cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

19. Do not use cooking containers consisting of inferior enamel, synthetic material, china, or aluminum foil.

DO NOT USE PLASTIC WRAP.

20. Do not store any objects on top of the appliance. Do not use it as a worktop.

21. Any damages resulting from non-observance of instructions in this manual will not be covered by warranty.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: A short power supply cord (or cord set) has been provided to reduce the h azards re sulting fr om becoming enta ngled

in or tripping over a longer cord . Longer extension cords may be used if car e is proper ly exercised in their use. If a n extensi on cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. Also, the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accid entally. This unit is equipped with a grounded, 3-prong ed commerci al plug. For safety, this pl ug MUST be conne cted to a 3 pronged outlet. Before connecting po wer, make sure th e outlet’s voltage and frequency correspond to th e data plate on

the range (120 volts/60hz.) Only connect unit to alternating current (AC).

Important notes:

Only use pots or pans suitable for induction cooking, i.e. cooking utensils that are made of ferromagnetic material. Always keep the cooking surface and the pot bottom clean and dry. Rough-bottomed cookware can scratch the range’s

heating surface.

• Do not place food directly on the cooking surface. Always use cookware.

• Do not leave any food in aluminium foil on the cooking surface, nor cutlery, pot lids or other objects made of metal

as those might become hot.

• Cover cookware while in use whenever possible to avoid spatters on cooktop

• Avoid scratches on the glass plate caused by pointed or sharp objects. Protect the glass plate against breakage by

falling objects.

Caution: This appliance complies with the standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibi lity. Nonetheless persons with heart pacemakers should keep away from induction cooking plates!

We cannot verify that every heart pacemaker available on the market complies with the current standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility respectively and that there is no interference cause d that might affect the correct operation of the pacemaker. There may also be malfunctions of other appliances, such as hearing aids.

INTRODUCTION

Cooking with induction is based upon a heating principle that is completely different from cooking on conventional cooktops. The heat is generated straight in the pot bottom by eddy currents. The cooktop itself is not heated, but only the bottom of the cooking vessel. Consequently, the usual heat losses are avoided and the efficiency of the energy expended is optimised.

Advantages of Induction Cooking

• As the pot bottom is heated instantaneously, induction cooking is very energy-saving (saves up to 50% in

comparison with other cooking methods). Preheating of the range is not necessary.

• The induction cooktop generates or interrupts the heat supply immediately after the activation of the control. This

efficient energy utilisation allows for an exact control of the heat supply and is furthermore time-saving in the cooking process.

• A further amount of time is saved on account of the extreme speed by which energy is available after switch-on. No

waiting times!

• Induction cooking provides for extra safety: Even when the cooking utensils are removed from the coo kto p without

having turned off the cooktop, the heating process is interrupted automatically. In case a cloth or another combustible material should be placed on the cooktop by accident , it cannot burn even if the cooktop has been activated. After the cooking process nothing but the residual heat emitted by the pot is perceivable on the glass ceramic plate.

• The cooking surface is very easy to care for. As the Ceran

leftovers cannot scorch. Neither do you have to wait for it to cool before you clean it.

Selecting pots and pans:

• Suitable: any flat-bottomed (3-5/32” – 10-1/4” in diameter) cooking utensils made of iron, such as enamelled pots,

cast-iron or stainless steel pots.

• Unsuitable: any cooking utensils consisting of aluminium, copper, glass or ceramic, as well as any pots having a

pot diameter of less than 3-5/32”.

• Tip: Check by means of a magnet whether the pot bottom is suitable. If the magnet clings to the outside of the pot

bottom, the vessel is qualified for induction cooking.

This model is equipped with Touch Control sensors allowing for easy and very convenient operation. By touching the sensor with your finger, the respective function is activated and verified by an audible acknowledgement signal.

b) Initial operation

Place the appliance on a heat-resistant, stable and flat working surface and do not operate it in the proximity of other appliances (electric stove, gas flame etc.). The space above the appliance must be free; the distance to any wall must be at least 4”. Unhindered air circulation must be ensured.

Connect the appliance to the power supply. You will hear a short audible signal, all displays remain off. The appliance is in the stand-by mode.

c) Switching on

Place a suitable cooking utensil in the middle of the cooking surface and touch the main button until you hear an audible signal. All the segments of the power display as well as all the LED’s in the temperature display will flash up. Now you may choose to set either the power level or the temperature level by activating a button. If there is no further activation

within 30 seconds, all displays will extinguish and the control switches into the stand-by mode.

d) Switching off

Touch the Main/On-Off button until you hear an audible signal and all the displays extinguish. Now the control is in the stand-by mode. During operation the control can be turned off at any time by pressing the main button even if other buttons have been activated. If the temperature on the cooktop has reached a value of more than 160°F due to the waste heat emitted by the pot, an H (for Hot) will appear in the POWER display. If the appliance is unplugged from the power outlet, this indication will extinguish.

Note: It is normal for the fan to continue running in the stand-by mode after a long operation time.
