IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS  
FOR USING YOUR INDUCTION  
BURNER  
WARNING  
DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children  
should not be left alone or unattended in  
the area where appliance is in use.  
Induction elements present no danger. However, for persons  
using a pacemaker, please keep 12 inches from the unit while it  
is in operation.  
IMPORTANT  
The vitro-ceramic top of the unit is made from a strong,  
non-porous material. In case of breaking or cracking, disconnect  
the plug from the power supply and discontinue use.  
Do not attempt to operate the induction burner during a  
power failure.  
Do not place spoons, knives, kitchen utensils, or other small  
objects on the cooking surface while the unit is operating as  
they become hot.  
Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of  
pressure may cause container to burst and result in an  
injury.  
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.  
Keep all magnetic strips, such as credit cards, or driver’s  
licenses away from the unit. The magnetic field produced by  
the unit will damage the information on the security strip.  
Persons with a pacemaker or similar  
medical device should exercise caution using or standing  
near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the  
electromagnetic field may affect the working of the  
pacemaker or similar medical device. It would be  
advisable to consult your Doctor or the pacemaker or  
similar medical device manufacturer about your  
particular situation.  
WARNING  
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power  
supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk  
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over  
a longer cord.  
This appliance has been tested and found to comply with  
the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 18 of  
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide  
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a  
residential installation. This unit generates, uses and can  
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and  
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause  
harmful interference to radio communications. However  
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a  
particular installation. If this unit does cause harmful  
interference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the unit off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Longer detachable power supply cords or extension  
cord are available and may be used if care is exercised  
in their use.  
If a longer detachable power supply cord or extension  
cord is used:  
a. The marked electrical rating of the cord set  
or extension cord should be at least as great as the  
electrical rating of the appliance; and  
b. The cord should be arranged so that it will not  
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be  
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.  
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension  
cord should be grounding type 3-wire cord.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antennae.  
Increase the distance between the unit and receiver.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING  
YOUR INDUCTION BURNER  
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING  
YOUR INDUCTION BURNER  
Unplug units prior to cleaning the induction burner.  
Do not use any abrasive soap agent.  
Use proper pan si e. Select cookware with flat  
bottoms large enough to cover the surface  
unit heating element.  
Clean the burner regularly to keep all parts free of  
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention  
to the area around the surface element. Do not allow  
grease to accumulate.  
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not  
extend over adjacent surface elements as  
there is risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,  
and spillage due to unintentional contact with the  
cooking utensils.  
Clean burner with caution. If damp cloth is used to wipe  
spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn.  
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot  
surface.  
Never leave surface elements unattended at high  
heat settings — Boil overs cause smoking and greasy  
spillover that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry  
may melt.  
Wipe off the casing of the operating panel with a soft cloth or a  
mild detergent.  
Do not immerse the induction burner, its cable or the  
plug into the water or other liquids.  
Make sure to properly clean the unit before storing it in a cool,  
dry place.  
Do not use any ammable, acid or alkaline material near  
the induction burner, as this may reduce the service life  
of the induction burner and pose a re risk when the  
induction burner is in operation.  
To keep your induction burner looking new,  
make sure that the bottom of your cookware does not  
scrape the glass surface, although a scratched  
surface will not impair the use of the unit.
