I. Cooktop Installation

Dimensions and Placement for Cut-out in Countertop

• Cut a rectangle hole in the countertop where the cook top is to be placed. The dimensions

for the cut-out are 14 1/4'' x 23 3/4''

• The cut-out must be placed at least 2 1/2" from any side of the countertop.

• To achieve ush mounting installation, use a router tool to round the corners of the hole cut

into the countertop.

Building of supports for cooktop below the counter

 Any thickness of the countertop can be utilized, however, the thickness will determine if sup-

ports are built into the walls of the cut-out, placed below the cut-out, or be built out from the
bottom of the cut-out.

 Two support beams between½'' and l" in width and 2" in depth should be placed lengthwise

(spanning 23 11/16") 2 ¼" below the surface of the cut-out. In order to achieve this depth it
may be necessary to add a build out to the 14 ¼" sides of the bottom of the countertop.

 The supports should be spaced center line in from the rear 1 ¼" and the centerline in from

the front 2 ½''.

 First feed the power wire through the hole and to the location of the power receptacle un-

derneath the cabinet.

 The 'h'' overhang on the induction cooker comes with pre-installed foam gasket. Peel o the

adhesive protector on the bottom of the gasket and set the induction cooker into the cut­out. Gently press down on the induction cook top to secure the adhesive gasket to the coun­tertop. The cook top should be sitting on the supports previously installed.

 For RV use, apply butyl tape instead of the supplied foam tape. Butyl tape will provide ade-

quate adhesion and still allow for removal if the unit needs to be serviced.

Clearance Needed for Air Circulation

 Below you will see a diagram of the air ow. Be sure not to block either the intake or exhaust

 For proper air circulation, allow at least 3" of clearance from the bottom of the induction

cooker to any shelving or storage. The underside of the countertop should not be closed o
from the cabinetry underneath for better air ow.

II. Important Safety Information

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed. For the True
Induction cooker, even with built-in safety features, it is essential to heed all precautions:

 When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may contain residual

heat.

 To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord plugs or cooker in water (or other liquid

substances).

 When using any electric appliance used around children, close supervision is strongly suggested.

 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction or if it has been

damaged in any manner. Read the seller's guidelines for warranty repairs and returns.

 Do not cook on a broken or damaged cooktop as spillovers may penetrate the surface and cre-

ate a risk of electric shock.

 To avoid potential injury, do not use accessory attachments which aren't recommended by the

manufacturer.

 Do not let the cord dangle over the edge of the table or counter. Keep the cord away from hot

surfaces.

 Do not place cooktop on or near: hot gas, electric burner or heated oven.

 To prevent accidents and achieve optimal fan ventilation, allow for sucient space around the

cooking area.

 Items with a magnetic eld such as: radios, televisions, credit cards, cassette tapes etc., can

aect the unit.

 The power cord provided has been sized accordingly, however, with caution and care extension

cords may be used.
a.The marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance.

b.The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

 Do not use with empty pans/pots.

 Do not place metallic objects such a knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans or aluminum foil on the

cooktop.

 To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for sucient space around the cook-

ing area.

II. Important Safety Information Continued...

 This appliance has a polarize plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of

electric shock, the plug will t on the outlet only one way. If the prongs do not t fully, re-

verse the plug. If it still does not t, contact the seller for warranty support; do not attempt

to modify the plug in anyway.

 To properly turn o unit press the Power button.

 It is important to be aware that the unit's surface will remain hot for a short period of time

after use.

 Disconnect power and allow to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs.

 Clean cooktop with caution - do not clean while unit is still hot, some cleaners produce

steam or fumes if applied to a heated surface.

 Do not use cooktop for any other use then directed by the manufacturer.

IV. How to Use

 Plug the power plug into a standard outlet.

 The Power button will light up and the unit will sound to indicate on.

 The device will remain in standby mode, awaiting user direction.

 Place ferromagnetic cookware (with water, oil or food already inside) on the center of the

glass-ceramic top center.

 Now press the Power button on the control panel, this will turn the cooktop on. The power

display will blink and sound another indicator.

 Press the Heat function key once. The pre-set power level "5" is the default selection as the

device turns on.

 Using the +/ - keys you can change the settings at any time, ranging from 1- 10. This is con-

sidered to be the HEAT function.

Power Invariance Technology

The maximum power of an individual burner level is at setting 10. But, when operating both
burners their combined total is level 10, 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 au-

tomatically (i.e., one side is at 6, the other burner automatically reduces power to level 4 cre-

ating a total of max 10 setting).

 If one side of the double burner is using the HEAT function and the other side uses the TEMP

settings, the maximum HEAT setting is "5."

Using the Temperature Setting

Using the +/ - keys you can change the temperature settings at any time. Settings range from
150-450 degrees Fahrenheit. (Exact temperatures: 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390,
420 and 450 F).

V. Compatible Cookware

Induction requires pots and pans that are made of ferrous (meaning magnetic) materials. Check
your cookware's retail box for the induction symbol. To tell if your current cookware is compati­ble with the induction technology, grab a magnet and see if it holds. If your magnet stays then
your cookware is ready to be used on the True Induction double burner induction portable
cooktop!

Optimal cookware has a at bottom and a diameter of 4.5" - 10" inches. Round, at bottom

pans give the best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly. For wok

cooking, use a at-bottom wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring. Look for this induction
image on the retail box:

The following are NOT COMPATIBLE:

 Heat-resistant glass, ceramic, copper, aluminum pan/pots, round bottomed cookware, or

cookware with a base less than 4.5 inches.

VI. Cleaning & Maintenance

Please follow these directions along with important safety steps for cleaning advised at the begin­ning of the manual:

 Before cleaning always switch OFF the device and wait for it to be completely cool. Clean the unit

after each use to remove food residues.

 Wipe o the glass-ceramic plate and the plastic surface with a slightly damp cloth (mico-ber

works best). Dishwashing soap may be used when necessary.

 Make sure that no water seeps into the device. Never use abrasive cleaners (i.e. metal pads) or

oil-based liquids. Never run the cooktop under water.

 A vacuum cleaner attachment may be used to suck up dirt from the air intake and exhaust vent.
