SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Mi
rage™ Induction Range
BEFORE USING YOUR
INDUCTION RANGE
As a precaution for persons wearing a pacemaker,
please stand back 12 inches (30 cm) from an operating
unit. Studies have shown that the induction element
presents no danger.
The cooking surface is made of a strong, non-porous
material. However, should it crack or break, stop using
and immediately unplug the unit.
Do not place spoons, kitchen utensils, pan lids or other
small objects on the cooking surface while the unit is
operating, as they may become hot. The unit is
equipped with a “small object detector” to prevent
small objects from accidentally heating if placed alone
on the cooking surface. However, if they are placed on
the cooking surface with a suitable piece of cookware
that activates the unit, the smaller object may also
become hot.
ENGLISH
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The cooking surface gets very hot.
Hot surfaces and hot cookware can burn
skin. Allow the induction range and any
cookware to cool before handling.
Keep all credit cards, driver licenses and other items
with a magnetic information strip away from the unit.
The unit’s magnetic field will damage the information
on these strips.
OPERATION
1. Place the induction range on a flat, stable surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet
with the matching nameplate rated voltage.
IMPORTANT: Do not preheat empty cookware. Because of
the speed and efficiency of the induction range, cookware
can very quickly overheat and be damaged.
IMPORTANT: Using a voltage other than the nameplate
rated voltage will cause damage to the unit.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Keep water from entering the inside
of the unit. If liquid spills or boils over
onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit
and wipe up any liquid. The liquid could
enter the electrical compartment and
cause an electrical shock.
3. Place induction-ready cookware containing food in the
center of the hob.
IMPORTANT: Do not drop cooking utensils or other
objects onto the cooking surface. The strong, non-porous
material will break. The warranty does not cover this type of
abuse.

4. Press the power ON/OFF button. The power level LED
within the display window will light. When an
appropriate pan is placed on the range, the display will
remain on, indicating that the unit is heating.
The unit will start in the power mode when it is first
turned on. Turning the unit off and on with the ON/OFF
button will not reset the control power or temperature
setup from the previous operation.
5. Press the POWER/TEMP button to choose between
power control mode and temperature control mode. The
power control mode will display a number from 1 to
100, indicating 1% to 100% of rated power. In the
temperature control mode, the display will show the
selected temperature. Two LED lights to the right of the
display window will indicate the selected temperature
in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius. Turning the
rotary knob clockwise will increase the power or
temperature. Turning the rotary knob counterclockwise
will decrease power or temperature.
6. Press the TIMER button to activate the timer function.
When first activated, a number "1" will display in the
window and a "timer" indicator will light up near the
lower right hand corner of the display. Turning the
rotary knob clockwise will increase the time up to a
maximum of 180 minutes. Turning the rotary knob
counterclockwise will decrease the time down to a
minimum of one minute. When the timer cycle is
complete, the unit will automatically shut off. To
cancel the timer, push the POWER/TEMP button. The
timer will be cancelled and the unit will go back to the
power or temperature setting.

OPERATING AND
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Induction ranges heat extremely
fast, much faster than most other types of
stovetops or ranges. Be very careful when
adding food to preheated oil, liquid or
other food already in the cookware. Hot
food and liquids can burn skin.
IMPORTANT: Do not heat cookware on the unit without
something to be heated in the pan. Because of the speed and
efficiency of the induction range, the cookware can develop
an excessive amount of heat very quickly and damage the
cookware and non-stick coatings.
The unit is equipped with an overheating protection device.
If the temperature of the top plate gets too hot, the unit will
shut down until the top plate cools. The heating indicator
will flash to indicate the over heating protection function is
on.
7. The unit will continuously display the power level
when an appropriate pan is placed on the unit. If the
power display is flashing, the cookin g ut en si l m ay not
be suitable.
8. While in use, it will not harm the unit to remove the
cooking utensil for a short time. If the unit is left on for
more than one minute without a pan, the unit will turn
off automatically.
CLEANING
To maintain the appearance and increase the service life,
clean your induction range daily.
1. Unplug the unit and let it completely cool.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The cooking surface gets very hot.
Hot surfaces and hot cookware can burn
skin. Allow the induction range and any
cookware to cool before handling.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Do not spray water or cleaning
products. Liquid could enter the electrical
compartment and cause a short circuit or
electric shock.
2. Wipe the unit exterior with a clean damp cloth.
3. Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers or
souring pad to clean the unit. These can damage the
finish.
4. Thoroughly wipe off any mild soap or chemical
cleaners. Chemical residue could corrode the surface of
the unit.
ENGLISH
