OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This product is provided with a grounded
(3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only
one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit into the outlet, have an electrician replace the
outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be
used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or
greater than the rating of the appliance. The extension cord must be
a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

HOW INDUCTION COOKING WORKS:
Induction cooking works through a magnetic field between the induction
coils beneath the glass top and the ferrous (iron-containing) material in
the cookware. Heat from induction is only produced in the pan itself, not
in the glass top. The cooktop will get hot where the pan is placed, as a
result of heat transfer from the pan.

Benefits of Induction Cooking
ENERGY-EFFICIENT
• Heats only diameter of pan so no wasted energy.
• Heating begins instantly for faster cook time.
EASY CLEANUP
• Spills are less likely to bake onto the glass top. Simply wipe up
when cool.
SAFETY FEATURES
• No open flame.
• No emissions.
• Surface not in contact with pan stays cool.
• Cooktop will not work without pan.
• Automatic shutoff once cookware is removed.
NOTE: When cookware is removed from the cooking surface, the
coil will de-energize. But if cookware is returned to the cooking
surface within 20 seconds, the coil will automatically re-energize.
Selecting the Right Cookware
• Only induction-ready cookware will work with induction
cooktops. Cookware must have iron in bottom of pan. Place
small kitchen magnet on cookware bottom; if it holds, it is
induction cooktop-ready.
• Cast iron, enamel cast iron, and some stainless steel will work
on induction cooktops. If unsure, check cookware bottom with
a magnet.
• Use only flat-bottom cookware that is 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 cm)
in diameter.
COOKWARE THAT WORKS:
• Some stainless steel
• Enamel cast iron
• Enamel on steel
• Cast iron
COOKWARE THAT WILL NOT WORK:
• Copper bottom
• Glass
• Aluminum (includes many nonstick pans)
• Pottery-type cookware
