BEFORE FIRST USE
• Place the induction cooktop on a stable, flat surface.
• Never place the induction cooktop on a flammable surface (e.g. tablecloth, carpet).
• Do not cover the ventilation slots, as this can cause overheating. Always position the
induction cooktop at least 5cm to 10 cm from walls or other items.
• Do not place the induction cooker near devices or objects sensitive to magnetic fields (e.g.
radios, TVs, cassette players).
• Keep the induction cooker away from open flames, heaters, or other heat sources.
• Ensure the power cable is not damaged or pinched beneath the device.
Choosing the right cookware for the Wolstead Slim Single Induction Cooktop
• Only use cookware with a base that is compatible for use on induction
stovetops. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the
bottom of the pan to ensure suitability.
• You can check if your cookware is suitable for induction by performing a
magnet test. Move a magnet toward the base of the pan; if it sticks, the
pan is compatible with induction cooking.
• If you do not have a magnet:
a. Fill the pan with some water.
b. Turn on the device for three minutes and check if the water heats up.
• Unsuitable cookware materials: pure stainless steel, aluminium, or copper without a
magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.
• Avoid using cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Make sure the base of your pan
is smooth and sits flat against the glass surface. Always center the pan on the cooking zone.
The pan’s diameter should be at least 16cm to ensure the energy field is effective. Do not use
pans with a diameter exceeding 22cm.
• Always lift the pans off the induction cooktop – do not slide as this may scratch the glass.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. On/Off
After connecting the power plug to the wall socket, the device will emit a beep sound. The
LED display will light up for two seconds, indicating that the device has entered power-on
mode. At this point, an induction compatible pot or pan can be placed on the heating area of
the surface plate. Press the ‘On/Off’ key once, and the LED display will show ‘-on-’ to indicate
that the device is in standby mode. Press the ‘On/Off’ key again to turn the device off.
In standby mode, if there is no operation for 30 seconds, the device will shut down
automatically.
Note: The cooktop fan will continue to operate for a period of two minutes after the cooktop
has been switched off to cool the internal components. It’s important that the cooktop is
left plugged in and allowed to complete the cooling cycle in order to ensure a long life of the
components.
2. Power
When you are ready to start cooking, place your chosen cookware on the cooktop. Make
sure the cookware is not empty. An error message will appear if you do not put your
cookware in place first before selecting the power level. Press the ‘Function’ button to select
your desired power level. The indicator light will turn on, and the machine will operate with
the default power setting of P5 (160°C). Adjust the power level by pressing the ‘+’ or ‘-’
buttons. The display will show the current setting.
3. Temperature
Press the ‘Function’ button again to select ‘Temp’. The indicator light will turn on, and the
machine will operate with the default temperature setting of 160°C. Adjust the temperature
by pressing the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons. The display will show the current setting.
4. Timer
The timer can only be set while the cooktop is in operation, with a range from 1 to 180
minutes. While the cooktop is working, press the ‘Timer’ key, and the LED display will show
‘000’ and begin flashing. Adjust the time by pressing the ‘+’ or ‘-’ buttons. The countdown
will begin automatically after 5 seconds. Press the ‘Timer’ key again to cancel the timer
function.
5. Child lock
To prevent unauthorised use (e.g. by children accidentally operating the device), you can
lock the control panel. Press the ‘Lock’ button to activate the lock mode. The LED display will
show ‘Loc’, and the control panel will be locked. To exit lock mode, press and hold the ‘Lock’
key for 2 seconds.

TROUBLESHOOTING
MalfunctionPossible causesSolution
The device cannot be turned
on.
No power.
• Check if the plug is
connected properly.
• Check the power cord for
any issues.
• Verify the power supply.
• Ensure the voltage is not
too low.
If the issue persists after
checking everything, contact
Kitchen Warehouse Customer
Service.
The function keys are
unresponsive.
The device makes clicking
noises.
A slight humming noise can be
heard when operating at high
power.
Fan noise.
The cookware is not heating.
The control panel is locked.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of different metals
vibrate differently).
This can be caused by
induction technology.
A cooling fan integrated in the
device prevents the electronics
from overheating. If necessary,
it continues to run even after
the cooktop is switched off.
The cookware you are using is
not induction compatible or is
not being detected.
Unlock the control panel. See
‘Child lock’ section.
This is normal and harmless.
This is normal. The noise
decreases or disappears
completely by reducing the
power level.
This is normal and necessary
for proper operation. Do not
disconnect the appliance from
the power supply while the fan
is running.
Use induction compatible
cookware of the appropriate
size for the desired cooking
zone and ensure it is positioned
correctly. See the ‘choosing the
right cookware’ section.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Unplug the cooktop and allow it to cool before cleaning. Do not use any caustic cleaning
agents, and ensure no water penetrates the device.
2. To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the device, its cables, or the plug in
water or other liquids.
3. Clean the glass surface with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution.
4. Clean the casing and the operating panel with a soft cloth or mild detergent.
5. Avoid using petrol-based products to prevent damage to the plastic parts, casing, or
operating panel.
6. Do not use any flammable, acidic, or alkaline materials or substances near the device, as they
may reduce its service life and pose a risk of deflagration when the device is turned on.
7. Ensure that the bottom of the cookware does not scrape across the glass surface. While a
scratched surface does not affect the functionality of the device, it is best to avoid it.
8. Be sure the device is properly cleaned before storing it in a dry place.
