PREPARING YOUR COOKTEK MAGNAWAVE FAHEATER FOR USE

INSTALLATION OF FAHEATER

Before operating your Faheater, do the following:

1. Remove all packing material.

2. Place the unit on a dry, level, hard, stable, and non-flammable surface.

3. Keep unit away from other heat sources and allow at least 2 inches clearance
for air circulation at sides, front and rear of the unit. If either the air intake or
exhaust outlet is blocked, the internal temperature will rise, causing an error
code to occur.

Grounding Instructions:

The FaHeater must be properly grounded. In the event of an electrical short cir­cuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a safe path for the
electric current. The FaHeater has a power cord with a 3-prong grounding plug,
which must be used in a compatible and properly grounded outlet. It is the
owner’s responsi-bility to replace any 2-prong wall outlet with a properly ground­ed 3-prong wall receptacle.

For your safety,never cut, remove, or disable the electrical (ground) connection
from the plug. Never use an adapter plug or an extension cord with the FaHeater.

WARNING: Electric shock can result from an improperly grounded plug.
Please consult a qualified electrician if you have any questions about these
grounding instructions.

Before You Begin:

Please make sure that the power cord is firmly attached to your CookTek
unit BEFORE plugging the unit into the power receptacle and before
attempting operation.

• Place the FaHeater on a level dry surface

•Allow for two inches of space on all sides of the FaHeater from any object near
the unit.
Plug FaHeater into a grounded 200-240V or 100-120V single-phase receptacle.
Check rating plate on the FaHeater to verify correct voltage.

NOTE: For proper operation, a dedicated circuit should be used for each
unit installed. Each circuit should be protected with a 20 amp minimum
circuit breaker. For best operation, the counter should have an opening
near the unit for fresh air to circulate underneath.

USING YOUR FAHEATER

General Operation:
What to Do:

1. Turn the Faheater "ON" by pushing the power button.

2. Place the platter on the glass surface
