IMPORTANT
Studies have shown that the induction
element presents no danger. However, as
a precaution for persons using a
pacemaker, please keep 12 inches (30 cm)
from the unit while in operation.
The top is made from a strong non-porous
material. However, in case of cracking or
breakage, discontinue using the unit and
disconnect the power immediately.
Do not place spoons, kitchen utensils,
knives, pan lids, or other small objects on
the cooking surface while the unit is
operating, as they may also become hot.
The unit is equipped with a “small object
detector” to prevent small objects from
accidentally heating if placed on the
cooking surface of the unit by themselves.
However, if they are placed on the unit with
a suitable piece of cookware that activates
the unit, the smaller object may also
become hot.
Keep all magnetic security strips
commonly found on credit cards or a
driver’s license away from the unit, as the
unit’s magnetic field will damage the
information on the security strip.
Use a dedicated grounded electrical circuit
with the specified voltage rating provided
on the nameplate.
Use more oil (liquid) than you would with
conventional cook-tops.
Do not touch the cook surface after use.
Although the induction cook-top itself does
not produce heat, the surface will be hot
from the cookware and can cause burns.

facility for repair.
Do not operate unit if it has been damaged
or is malfunctioning in any way.

cause an explosion.
Let the cook-top cool before moving.

Place the induction range on a flat,
horizontal surface, with at least 4 inches of
space from any other object.
Insure proper ventilation for the cooling
fans. Do not block air intakes or exhausts.
