recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be done by a qualified
technician.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
• Do not place or drop heavy objects on your cooktop.
• Do not stand on your cooktop.
• Do not use pans with jagged edges or drag pans across the Induction glass
surface as this can scratch the glass.
• Do not use scourers or any other harsh abrasive cleaning agents to clean your
cooktop, as these can scratch the Induction glass.
• Do not operate your cooktop by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons.
This product is intended for domestic household, indoor use only.
Power line connection: The power cord should be connected in compliance with
the relevant New Zealand standard, to an 3×20A omni-polar circuit breaker.
If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains an Omni-polar
circuit-breaker must be installed with a minimum opening of 3mm between
contacts.
Please use a dedicated power protection switch.
Do not wash the induction hotplate directly with water as excess water entering
the hob is a hazard.
Never have the induction hotplate working without food or liquid within the
cooking vessel as this will affect its operational performance and may damage
the unit.
Do not heat unopened canned goods directly on the induction hob as there is a
danger of explosion due to heat expansion.
After being used for a long time, the corresponding heating zone of the
induction hotplate will be hot. Do not touch the ceramic surface to avoid
personal injury.
We suggest that you should periodically check that there are no objects (glass,
paper, etc) that could obstruct the ventilation inlets under your induction
4
hotplate.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on
the hotplate since they will get hot.
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance and contact Parmco Appliances.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock do not continue to use a damaged hob.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should
be kept away.
This appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
Do not clean this appliance using steam cleaners.
After use, switch off the hob element at its control. The pan detector cannot be
relied on as a means to ensure the element is turned off as other metallic
objects on the element will activate the power.

What is Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the
pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes
hot only because the pan eventually warms it up.
Before using your New Induction Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
• Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate.
