used if care is exercised in their use. The
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
17. The cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
18. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
19. Do not use outdoors or while standing in
a damp area.

HOW INDUCTION
COOKING WORKS
Induction cooking uses electromagnetism to
transfer energy into the bottom of your cookware.
The surface of the cooktop does not work the
same way as conventional cooktops – it sends
the energy directly to the cookware. As long as
the energy is transferring into the cookware,
the cookware will stay hot. Once the energy is
stopped, removed or reduced, the cookware
begins to cool instantly.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, burns,
re or injur y:
1. Always unplug cooktop from the electrical
outlet immediately after using.
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store unit where it can fall or
be pulled into a tub or sink.
4. Do not place or drop into water or other liquids.
5. Do not reach for unit that has fallen into water.
Unplug it immediately.
6. Care should be taken so that objects do not fall
and liquids are not spilled onto the unit.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. THERE
ARE NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO
WATER OR MOISTURE.

INSTRUCTIONS
SELECTING COOKWARE
FOR INDUCTION
COOKTOPS
Use only induction-ready
cookware
Selecting the proper induction-ready cookware is
very important to the efciency of your induction
cooktop. As a general rule, copper, aluminum and
glassware will not work on an induction cooktop.
Cuisinart highly recommends using magnetic
stainless steel, enamel, porcelain on steel, or
cast iron. If you are not careful in your selection
of cookware for your cooktop, the cookware
may not work efciently or possibly may cause
damage to the electronics. As a general rule, if
a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware,
it will work on an induction cooktop. If a magnet
does not stick to the cookware, it will not work on
an induction cooktop. If you are unsure, it is best
to check with your local merchant to make sure
you are purchasing compatible cookware.
Note: Not for use with pans with diameters
smaller than 4.7".

If the unit is turned on and no cookware is put on
the cooking surface, the unit will beep and turn
off after 30 seconds.
If you remove the cookware from the cooking surface during the operation mode, the unit will beep
and will automatically turn off after 30 seconds

.
or
The timer can be adjusted to a maximum time of
150 minutes. At the end of the timed cycle, the
timer will beep four times.
NOTE: Your induction cooktop runs for up to
180 minutes at a time. If it has been cooking for
more than 30 minutes and you set a timer for 150
minutes, the cooktop will still turn off after 180
minutes. If you need to cook for more than 180
minutes, simply turn the cooktop on again.
When the unit is off, the fan may continue running
for a minute or more.
NOTE: The cooking surface will be hot after
use, and care should be taken when adding
on or removing cooking utensils from the
cooktop to avoid burns.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Because it does not generate its own heat,
the induction cooktop has no grates or carbon
buildup to clean. Since you don’t have scorching
heat going up the sides of your cookware, the
cookware stays cleaner longer.
Unplug unit. Use a damp cloth with mild soap
on the control panel, and for the cooktop, use a
non abrasive cooktop cleaning product (speci-
cally made for smooth tops and available in most
grocery stores). Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Limited Three-Year Warranty
(U.S. and Canada ONLY)
This warranty is available to consumers only.
You are a consumer if you own a Cuisinart®
Induction Cooktop that was purchased at retail
for personal, family or household use. Except
as otherwise required under applicable law, this
warranty is not available to retailers or other
commercial purchasers or owners.
We warrant that your Cuisinart® Induction
Cooktop will be free of defects in materials
and workmanship under normal home use for
3 years from the date of original purchase.
We recommend that you visit our website,
www.cuisinart.com for a fast, efcient way to
complete your product registration. However,
product registration does not eliminate the need
for the consumer to maintain the original proof
of purchase in order to obtain the warranty
benets. In the event that you do not have proof
of purchase date, the purchase date for purposes
of this warranty will be the date of manufacture.
If your Cuisinart® Induction Cooktop should
prove to be defective within the warranty period,
we will repair it, or if we think necessary, replace
it. To obtain warranty service, simply call our
toll-free number 1-800-726-0190 for additional
information from our Consumer Service
Representatives, or send the defective product to
Consumer Service at Cuisinart, 7475 North Glen
Harbor Blvd., Glendale, AZ 85307.
To facilitate the speed and accuracy of your
return, please enclose $10.00 for shipping and
handling of the product.
Please pay by check or money order made
payable to Cuisinart (California residents need
only supply proof of purchase and should call
1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions).
NOTE: For added protection and secure handling
of any Cuisinart product that is being returned,
we recommend you use a traceable, insured

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California law provides that for In-Warranty
Service, California residents have the option of
returning a nonconforming product (A) to the
store where it was purchased or (B) to another
retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the
same type.
The retail store shall then, at its discretion,
either repair the product, refer the consumer
to an independent repair facility, replace the
product, or refund the purchase price less the
amount directly attributable to the consumer’s
prior usage of the product. If the above two
options do not result in the appropriate relief
to the consumer, the consumer may then
take the product to an independent repair
facility if service or repair can be economically
accomplished. Cuisinart and not the consumer
will be responsible for the reasonable cost of
such service, repair, replacement, or refund for
nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their
preference, return nonconforming products
directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Consumer Service
Center toll-free at 1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart
will be responsible for the cost of the repair,
replacement, and shipping and handling for such
products under warranty.
