inStallation

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. Each induction unit should have a separate circuit.

 Do not use an extension cord with this equipment. Do not plug this

ENGLISH

equipment into a power strip or multi-outlet power cord.

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

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

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

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

the information on these strips.

 Do not put water in the warmer/rethermalizer. It is intended to run dry.

Water will damage the unit and void the warranty.

 Use only Vollrath induction-ready insets with this unit. Failure to use

Vollrath Induction-ready insets may damage unit and void the warranty.
 Unit should only be used in a at, level position.
 Unplug unit and let it cool before cleaning or moving.
 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 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.

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

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

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

1. Place the induction on a at, solid, and 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.

oPeration

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Keep water and other liquids from entering the
inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause
an electrical shock.

NOTE:

Do not pre-heat empty insets. Because of the speed and efciency
of the induction range, insets can very quickly overheat and be
damaged.

WARNING

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.

NOTE:

Do not put water in the warmer/rethermalizer. It is intended to run
dry. Water will damage the unit and void the warranty.

NOTE:

Removal of induction-ready inset will cause the display to blink.
Reinserting the induction-ready inset will cause the display to
remain constant.
