Safety Precautions - Read before operating your cooktop

Your induction-cooking unit has been designed for residential use and food preparation, and all of the safety parameters have been rectified accordingly.

The unit incorporates numerous safety devices and controls, and a few devices will be mentioned here.

-A number of sensors monitor temperature of internal components. If any of these sensors senses that the component temperature is above the limit, the power output of the unit will automatically be reduced, allowing the component to cool down. Once this is achieved, the unit will continue to operate normally at the output level set initially by the operator.

-Each induction coil is equipped with a sensor which is continuously monitoring the temperature of the bottom of the pan to prevent the pan from overheating.

-Each induction coil is equipped with a pan sensing device. This device will not allow the heating element to turn on unless it senses a cooking utensil on the coil covering enough surface area. The indication that the coil is not running is the flashing of the digital display. Once the pan is put properly on the coil, the digital display will become steady. Note that a small object such as a fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry, etc. will not be mistaken for a cooking utensil, and it will not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device will distinguish between cooking utensils which are and are not suitable for induction cooking. If a cooking utensil which is not suitable for induction cooking is placed on a coil there will be no power output on the coil.

-If an operator leans on the keypad by chance for more then ten seconds, controls

will disable the heating section of the unit. This occurrence is called ‘long press’ and when it happens “-” signs will appear on power displays. The unit will act the same if there is an accumulation of some liquid on the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left sitting on the keypad. The section will become operational again once the spill or the object/hand is removed, and the element turned back on.

In an effort of constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make any changes to internal components, as well as, to make any(cosmetic) modifications on the outside frame.

This unit does not contain any asbestos or asbestos based components.

This unit has been tested and certified under FCC CFR 47, Part 18, for electromagnetic interference.

The users with heart pacemakers must consult with the pacemaker manufacturer prior to using this cooktop which incorporates induction heating source.

If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then

disconnect its breaker, or remove fuses manually.

Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed.

When cooking never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in aluminum foil, nor products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on the hob. Aluminum foil could melt and damage vitroceramic glass surface beyond repair.
