Your SUMMIT Induction Cooktop
Thank you for purchasing one of SUMMIT's induction cooktops. This
product is intended to provide you with many years of quality service.
Please read this manual in its entirety to maximize the lifespan and
performance of your appliance.
About Induction Cooking
When you turn on the power of your induction cooktop, coils inside
produce a magnetic field underneath the glass ceramic surface.
When the proper cookware is placed on top of a magnetized cooking
zone, the magnetic field sends currents into the cookware, causing
friction and generating instant heat inside your pot or pan.
We hope you enjoy the speed, efficiency, and safety of this appliance.

Keep these instructions handy for future use. If lost, this manual is available from our
website at www.summitappliance.com
Read all instructions carefully before installation and operation of the appliance.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion that causes
property damage, personal injury or death. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury, take the following precautions:
Do notallowaluminumfoil, paperorclothto com e in contact with a hotzone.
Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the hot cooking
zones.
Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking zone, drip bowls or oven
bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper use of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
Always use the proper pot and pan size. The use of u ndersized cookware will expose
a portion of the hot zone, which can result in ignition of clothing or personal burns.
Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods and before heating to avoid explosion.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to h old the handles of pots and pans.
Use only dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
The appliance is manufactured in compliance with the relevant safety standard.
Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that a person with physical or mental
impairments not use the appliance unless accompanied by a qualified person. The
same recommendation applies to children.
When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may
contain residual heat.
It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will remain hot for a short period of
time after use. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Cleaning Safety
Clean Cook-Top with Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce
steam or noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the cooktop, as this
may result in electric shock.

Use proper cookware size - This appliance is equipped with two cooking zones of
different sizes. Choose cookware with a flat bottom large enough to cover the unit
heating surface. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
heating surface where direct contact may be made and cause serious injury.
Compatible cookware will improve efficiency.
To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with cookware, the cookware handles should be turned
inward and not extend over adjacent heating surface.
Wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
Power Cord Safety
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or main body in
water or any other liquid.
Do notletcordhangoveredgeof table or counter .
Do not allow cordtotouch hot surface .
A shortpowersupplycordordetachablepowersup p ly cord should be used to
reduce theriskof becomingentangledinortripping over a longercord.

performing any maintenance or repairs.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: This function is equipped with safeguards against parching. The unit
might shut off automatically when this function is used for frying, stirfrying, grilling and other high temperature cooking formats.
Power sharing
When both burners are on, one of the two burners would not have a power
level higher than level 6. Both of them together would not be more than
Max 8.
If only one burner is on, the heating zone can maintain its full heat setting.
But when operating both burners, their combined total is Max 8, meaning
that when operating the two burners at the same time, they’ll self adjust
levels accordingly. When you increase the power of one side, the power
output of the other side will reduce automatically if their combined total is
more than Max 8(i.e., one side is at 5, the other burner automatically
reduces power to level 3, creating a total max 8 setting).
SUMMIT APPLIANCE Felix Storch, Inc.

neither the "+" nor "-" key is pressed for 10 seconds.) Once the Timer is set, the
Minute Timer begins the countdown and digital display will stay on the previous
power setting. Once the Minute Timer reaches “00”, the cooktop will sound
“beep” and the specific heating element will shut off automatically.
To Cancel timer: While in timer status, press “Timer” key; the digital display
shows countdown time. Then press “+” or “-” key until the digital display reads
“00” and timer display will blink for 10 seconds and then go off. The timer is no
longer active.
Hot Surface Indicator
After using any of the cooking zones, the cooktop will remain very hot.
Even after turning off the entire unit, the surface of the cooktop will
remain hot for some time. The display for the cooking zones will show an
“H” to warn the user that the surface is hot to the touch. (The temperature
of heating zone is more than 140℉.) Wait until the “H” is no longer
displayed to clean the unit. You may turn the unit back on even if the “H”
is displayed.

Compatible Cookware
The quality of your cooking is dependent on the cookware you. use.
Because induction cooking requires a magnetic vessel for heating, onl y
certain materials can be used on your cooktop.
Proper Cookware
Flat-bottom pots or pans with diameter from 12 to 26 cm (4.7 to 10.83
made from the following:
Magnetic stainless steel
Cast iron
Enameled iron
Nickel

If you are unsure about the usability of your cookware, simply take a
magnet (such as one on your refrigerator) and hold it under the bottom of
your pot or pan. If the magnet sticks, the cookware CAN be used on the
induction cooktop.

Cleaning Your Cooktop
After each use, unplug or turn off the power and let your unit cool down
completely. When it is cool to the touch, apply approximately 1 teaspoon (5
ml) of nonabrasive cleaner to the surface of the ceramic glass with a lightly
dampened cloth. Use a second cloth to remove any remaining cleaner
residue. Wipe dry with a dry cloth.

It will leave metal markings on the cooktop surface.
These marks are removable using a ceramic cooktop cleaner with
pad for ceramic cooktops.cleaning
2.If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper are allowed
to boil dry, the overlay may leave black discoloration on the cooktop.
This should be removed immediately before heating again or the
discoloration may be permanent.
Note: If the ceramic glass top of the cooktop is broken, turn off the unit;
the cooktop glass will have to be replaced. In this case, contact Summit
