•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 operating.

•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 unit’s
cooking surface 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, such as those commonly
found on credit cards or driver’s licenses away from the unit.
The magnetic field produced by the unit will damage the
information on the security strip.

designed to be enclosed or built into any area.
