To ensure safe operation, read the following statements and
understand their meaning. This manual contains safety precautions
which are explained below. Please read carefully.

function and PurPoSe

This unit is intended to be used with induction-ready cookware (see below)

with a at, ferrous base measuring 4-1/2” (11.4 cm) to 10-1/4” (26 cm) wide.

This unit is intended for use in commercial foodservice operations only. It is
not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use.

WARNING

Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause
severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the

warning is ignored.

CAUTION

Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can
cause minor personal injury or property damage if the caution is

ignored.

NOTE

Note is used to notify people of installation, operation, or
maintenance information that is important but not hazard-related.

For Your Safety!

These precautions should be followed at all times. Failure to follow
these precautions could result in injury to yourself and others.

To reduce risk of injury or damage to the unit:

 Plug only into grounded electrical outlets matching the nameplate rated

voltage.

 As a precaution, persons using a pacemaker should stand back 12”

ENGLISH

(30 cm) from an operating unit. Studies have shown that the induction
element will not disrupt a pacemaker.

 Keep all credit cards, driver liscences and other items with a magnetic

strip away from an operating unit. The unit’s magnetic eld will damage

the information on these strips.

 The heating surface is made of a strong, non-porous material.

However, should it crack or break, stop using and immediately unplug

the unit.
 Do not leave an empty pan on an operating unit.
 Unit should only be used in a at, level position.
 Unplug unit and let it cool before cleaning or moving.
 Do not touch the cooking surface. It remains hot after the unit is turned

off.
 Do not spray controls or outside of unit with liquids or cleaning agents.
 Unplug when not in use.
 Keep unit and power cord away from open ames, electric burners or

excessive heat.
 Do not heat sealed cans or containers as they may explode.
 Do not operate unattended.
 Closely supervise units operating in public areas and/or around

children.
 Do not operate if unit has been damaged or is malfunctioning in any

way.
 Do not place any objects inside the air intake or exhaust panels.

This unit is to be used on a at, level surface.

couteRtop

NOTE:
This unit is not designed to be inclosed or built into any area.

There must be a minimum of 4” (10 cm) of space between the rear
of the induction range and any surrounding surface.

There must be 15 mm (0.6”), except 20 mm (0.787”) for item 6950020
or 6951020, between the bottom of the induction range and any
surrounding surface.

Sufcient airow must be allowed around the unit. Blocking the
airow could cause the unit to overheat.

1. Place the induction range/warmer on a at stable surface.

2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet with the matching
nameplate rated voltage.

NOTE:

Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage will cause
damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage, modication to the power
cord or electrical components can damage unit and will void the

warranty. Induction units are to use a separate dedicated circuit.

dRop-In

NOTE:
There must be a minimum of 2” (5 cm) of space between all four
sides of the induction range and any surrounding surface.

There must be 12” (30.5 cm) between the bottom of the induction
range and any surrounding surface.

Sufcient airow must be allowed around the unit. Blocking the
airow could cause the unit to overheat.

1. Choose a at, level countertop for the mounting surface.

2. Measure the area for the cutout, including the countersink area. The
unit is designed to be countersunk. The depth of the surface around the
cutout must be reduced to allow for the countersink. See the illustration
below.

OperatOr’s Manual

NOTE:
Exposed wood or particle board edges must be sealed with an

appropriate waterproong material. Seal the edge between the

glass and the countertop with silicone or similar material. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the countertop.

2. Seal the joint between the induction warmer and countertop.

3. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet with the matching
nameplate rated voltage.

an electrical shock.

If liquid spills or boils over onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit
and remove cookware. Wipe up any liquid with a padded cloth.

1. Place the induction-ready cookware containing food in the center position
of a heating surface.

NOTE:

Do not pre-heat empty cookware. Because of the speed and

ENGLISH

efciency of the induction range, cookware can very quickly
overheat and be damaged.

Do not drop cooking utensils or other objects onto the cooking
surface. The strong, non-porous surface can break. The warranty
does not cover this type of abuse.

2. Press the ON/OFF button. The DISPLAY panel will show a power level

Burn Hazard.

Do not touch cookware, heating surface, food, or
liquid while heating.

Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Induction heating surfaces heat
very rapidly. Use caution when adding pre-heated oil, liquid or other
food already in the cookware.

Units with DISPLAY panels are equipped with an “over-heating protection”
feature. If the temperature of the cooking surface becomes too hot, the unit

will turn off. The display will ash “F2” to indicate the unit is in “over-heating

protection” mode. After the unit has cooled, turn the cooking surface on and if
“F2” is not displayed, then cooking can resume.

The display window should remain constant during operation. If the display is

ashing, see the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual.
Removing cookware from the cooking surface for more than ve minutes will

cause the unit to automatically turn off. Removing cookware for less than ve

minutes will not interrupt operation of the unit.

All units will start in Power Mode when turned on rst time.
