Foreword

Dear Customer,

Please read these operating instructions carefully before using the CookStar Induction Pro for the first
time.

Please take note of the safety notices on the following pages.

Keep these instructions for future reference.

The Function and Advantages of Induction Cooktops

With induction cooktops, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass
ceramic surface. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware
through a physical reaction.

This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common cooktops, the cookware is heated
up, not the heating element and the glass ceramic surface. Due to the technical characteristics
described above, heating takes place rapidly which reduces startup cooking times.

In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in small steps.
The induction cooktop reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches
the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology
combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to exactly
adjust the heat supply.

Additional advantages of an induction cooktop:

• As the cooktop is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over-spilling food
cannot stick and burn and there is less danger of burns for the user. The glass ceramic surface
is only heated up by the hot pot or pan.

• Once you take the cookware off the cooktop, it automatically switches to standby mode.

• The cooktop detects whether suitable cookware is placed on it. If not, the unit will shut off

automatically.

Before Using the CookStar Induction Pro for the First Time

Check the cooktop for visible damage.

The power connections and the plug may not show any damages. If you detect obvious damage,
have the cooktop checked by a qualified technician or an authorized dealer prior to putting it into
operation.

This cooktop is designed for private (domestic) use and its power is rated accordingly.

Any commercial use is only covered by the warranty in as far as it is comparable with the demands
of private use. It is not intended for any further professional use.

Improper use voids the warranty.

General Safety Precautions:

The product you have purchased corresponds to the latest state of technology and the accepted
safety regulations. Only operate the induction cooktop in an immaculate condition and observe
these operating instructions!

Only use the cooktop for its intended purpose.

In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe the following:

• Never touch the cooktop and the power plug with wet hands. 

• Do not connect the cooktop to the same outlet with other cooktops or large appliances. Make

sure it is connected to a suitable grounded 3-prong outlet.

• Never move the cooktop by pulling on the power cable. 

• Do not move the induction cooktop during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it. 

• Do not place any empty containers or metal objects on the cooktop. 

• Never heat sealed food such as canned goods before opening their covers.

• Never operate the cooktop if the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows defects or

damage, have a qualified electrician repair it.

• Do not use the cooktop if it does not function properly, shows damage, or if it was dropped.

• Do not leave the cooktop unsupervised during operation. Keep children away when use.

• Do not submerge the cooktop in water or other liquids and do not wash it in the dishwasher.

• This appliance is not intended for use by people who lack the necessary experience and/or

skills unless these persons act under the supervision of a person responsible for their safety
or they were instructed by such a person on how to use the appliance.

• Scientific tests have proven that induction cooktops do not pose any health risk. However,

people with a pacemaker should ask their doctor if use of induction cooktops is advisable.
