InductIon cooktop
Installation Guide
and Users Manual
Technology yields progression. Electromagnetic heating technology
emits heat into the cookware itself rather than atop the surface burner.
This design uses premium glass which distributes and retains heat more
efficiently than other cooktop types.

Location of Appliance Tags
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
works by electromagnetic field generating instant heat directly in the cookware bottom,
rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only
because the cookware warms it up.
The rating tag shows the model and serial number of your range. The tag is located under
the front edge of the induction cooktop. The tag is visible when the oven door is open.

Important Safety Instructions
ENVIRONMENT OF UNIT
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not let any objects(glass, paper, etc.) obstruct the
inlet and outlet of your cooktop. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not mount
unit over a sink. To reduce the risk of fire, do not store anything directly on top of
the appliance surface when the appliance is in operation.
• Always have a working smoke detector in or near the kitchen.
• Do not leave lids or other metal objects such as knives, forks or spoons on the
cooktop. If the cooktop is turned on, these objects can heat up quickly and may
cause burns.
• Do not place rough or uneven objects on the units as they may damage the
surface. If the cooktop is near a window, ensure that curtains do not blow over
or near the unit.
• Do not use the cooktop as a work surface. Certain substances such as salt,
sugar, or sand can scratch the glass ceramic surface.
• Do not store hard or pointed objects over the cooktop as they can damage the
unit if they fall on top.
• Do not put detergents or flammable materials in the equipment installed under
the cooktop.
• While cooking any overflowed fat or oil on the cooktop may ignite. There is a
risk of burning and fire; therefore, control the cooking process at all times.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
• Items with a magnetic field such as: radios, televisions, credit cards, cassette
tapes etc., can affect the unit.
• The marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating on
the appliance.
• To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for sufficient space
around the cooking area.
• To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with cookware, the cookware handles should be turned
inward and not extend over adjacent heating surface.
• Wear proper apparel - loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.

Important Safety Instructions
COOKING SAFETY
• Do not allow aluminum foil, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot element.
• Avoid preparing food in aluminum foil or plastic containers over the hot cooking
zones.
• Protective liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line cooking zone, drip bowls or
oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper use of these liners
may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry or empty.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
• Always use the proper pot and pan size.
• The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the hot element, which
can result in ignition of clothing or personal burners.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use dry pot holders to hold the handles of pots/pans.
• Use only dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating elements.
• Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• Always remove the covers on sealed or canned goods and before heating to
avoid explosion.
• Nevertheless, we strongly recommend That a person with physical or mental
impairments not use the appliance unless accompanied by a qualified person.
The same recommendation applies to children.
• When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may
contain residual heat. It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will
remain hot for a short period of time after use.

Important Safety Instructions
POWER CORD SAFETY
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, or main body in water or
any other liquid.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• Do not allow cord to touch hot surface. A short power supply cord or detachable
power supply cord should be used to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
• Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control to off, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
SERVICE AND REPAIR SAFETY
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in the manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified
technician.
• There are no user serviceable parts on this appliance. Only an authorized
service representative should attempt to service your cooktop.

Room Ventilation
The use of this appliance generates heat and humidity in the room where it is installed.
Proper ventilation in the room is needed. Make sure the kitchen is equipped with a range
hood of appropriate power (400 CFM minimum). Activate the exhaust fan/range hood
when possible. Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional
ventilation, for example by opening a window.

cookware uses
COOKWARE NOISE
• Heavier pans such as enameled cast iron, will produce less noise than a lighter
stainless steel pan. Light weight cookware may also vibrate. Heavy weight
quality cookware is recommended.
• Cookware with irregular or warped bottoms can vibrate audibly on the ceramic
glass surface, though again, typically only at high power settings.
• Loose-fitting handles on cookware, typically when rivets are used, can vibrate.
• “Cracking” noise- occurs if the cookware base is made of a different material.
• “Low Humming” noise- occurs when cooking, which is normal particularly at
high power settings.
• A “whistling” noise- occurs if both elements are being used at the same time at
high settings, and the cookware base is made of a different material.
COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
• DO NOT USE heat-resist glass, ceramic, copper, aluminum pan/pots, round-
bottomed cookware, or cookware with a base less than 5 inches.
• Compatible cookware packaging often will have the induction logo
17
cleaning your cooktop
Before using the product for the first time, clean the top to protect and make cleanups
easier. Daily use of a ceramic glass cleaner will keep the cooktop looking new with
every use.
• Use a ceramic glass cleaner when the cooktop is cool
• Apply a few drops directly to the cooktop and use a paper tower or a soft cleaning
pad.
• Use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning residue.
NEVER RUN THE COOKTOP UNDER WATER
CLEANING BURNED RESIDUE
• Use a ceramic glass cleaner when the cooktop is cool
• Spread a few drops on the burned residue area.
• Use a ceramic glass cleaning pad, rub the residue with pressure as needed.
• Repeat the steps above if any residue remains
CLEANING HEAVILY BURNED RESIDUE
• Use a ceramic glass cleaner when the cooktop is cool
• Use a single-edge razor blade scraper approximately at a 45˚ angle against the
glass surface, and scrape off the residue.
• After scraping the residue, spread a few drops on the burned residue area and
finish off with a ceramic glass cleaner and paper towel.
METAL MARKS AND SCRATCHES
• For preventative measures, be careful not to slide pots or pans across the cooktop
surface. This will leave metal marks. These metal marks are removable using a
ceramic glass cleaner with a cleaning pad.
• If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum or copper boil dry, the overlay may leave a
black discoloration on the cooktop. This must be removed immediately before using
the cooktop or the discoloration will become permanent.
WARNING
If cracks or indentations in the glass surface occurs, the cooktop will
have to be replaced. Contact us at 1-614-777-5004 for assistance.
