 This device cooks using magnetic induction. If you have a pacemaker, check with

your doctor to see if it is safe to be around this cooktop when it is in operation.

 Use only pots or pans suitable for use with induction cookers. Steel, cast iron,

enameled iron, and stainless steel are compatible materials. As long as a magnet will

stick to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with this cooktop.

 Any pots or pans used with this cooktop must have a flat bottom and measure

between 4.7" ~ 10.2" (12 ~ 26 cm) in diameter.

 Do not use with aluminum, copper, or other non-magnetic/non-ferrous cookware.
 If heating canned food, the can must be opened first.
 Cookware may emit a buzzing or humming sound during operation, especially if it

has loose parts. This is normal and not anything to worry about.

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this 1800-watt Portable Induction Cooktop! This cooktop heats

food and water faster and more efficiently than conventional gas or electric stoves. It heats

using a magnetic field, rather than radiated heat. Because it uses a magnetic field for

cooking, it requires the use of ferrous-based cookware, such as steel, cast iron, enameled

iron, or stainless steel. A magnet is included for testing the suitability of cookware. As long

as the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with this cooktop.

Additionally, any pots or pans used with this cooktop must have a flat bottom and

measure between 4.7" ~ 10.2" (12 ~ 26 cm) in diameter. It has eight power levels, from 200 ~

1800 watts, and eight temperature levels, from 140 ~ 460°F. It also includes a variable timer,

adjustable from 0 minutes to 4 hours in 1 minute increments.
