• Read this manual before using the cooktop.
• To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not submerse the cooktop unit or electrical cord in liquid.
• Do not touch the unit with wet hands, or use in a wet outdoor environment.
• Never operate the unit if cooktop surface, electrical cord or plug is damaged.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or countertop, or touch hot surfaces.
• To protect against electrical hazards, do not move the unit by pulling on the power cord.
• Only qualified experts may perform repair and maintenance work on the cooktop unit. Never disassemble or attempt to repair the cooktop yourself.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION

SELECTING THE COMPATIBLE COOKWARE

1. Induction Cooktop
   Your induction cooktop will not operate without the compatible cookware. Read the following information in this section carefully to get the maximum efficiency from your cooking unit. The rule of thumb for selecting cookware is, if a magnet sticks to the cookware bottom, the cookware will work on your duxtop® Induction Cooktop.
   The bottom surface of the cookware must:

   • Be made of a ferrous magnetic material.

   • If the cookware bottom is made of material with lower ferrous magnetic content, the “Pot” error code may display, indicating the cookware is not suitable for the induction cooking.

   • Have a flat bottom surface with a minimum bottom diameter of 5″. The diameter and thickness of the cookware’s magnetic layer must be large enough to catch the magnetic wave, otherwise the cooktop can not operate(displays “Pot” error code). This is a safety mechanism.

   • Touch the cooktop or rise no more than 1″ above it.
     SUITABLE COOKWARE MATERIAL

   • cast iron;

   • iron;

   • magnetic steel;

   • enameled iron;

   • stainless steel manufactured with a magnetic bottom
     DO NOT use cookware made out of:

   • glass

   • ceramic

   • copper

   • aluminum

   • non-magnetic stainless steel (18/10, 18/8)

2. Infrared Hot Plate:
   No special type of cookware is needed for Infrared Hot Plate. For energy efficiency and even cooking, choose flat-bottomed cookware that fits closely over the heating element, and the cookware bottom should be at least the size of the cooking zone.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

This cooktop can be used on a countertop or installed on a countertop. The countertop surface must be dry, stable, level, non-combustible, and non- metallic.

Warning:

• Be sure your cooktop is installed properly by a qualified installer or service technician.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY: Do not store or use any flammable materials in the vicinity of this appliance.
• 76.2 cm (30 in) Min. clearance between the top of the cooking platform and the bottom of an unprotected cabinet. Risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 12.7 cm (5 in) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the cooktop can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated by the cooktop.

Location Requirements

• From edge of cooktop to nearest wall on either side of unit 55mm (2.17 in).
• If the top panel of cabinet is too thin, it will be deformed. It is recommended that the thickness of top panel should be at least 30mm (1.18 in).
• It is not recommended to use drawer underneath cooktop. Empty space is needed for installation purpose.
• Four sealing strips are provided for the surrounding sealing of the edges of cutout.

• To briefly preheat a pan when using the induction cooktop, please use a low heat setting while supervising. An empty pan could heat much faster than expected.

• Troubleshooting Guide: If the appliance doesn’t operate as intended, see the Troubleshooting Guide.

Power Sharing Feature
Power sharing technology is a safety and efficiency feature. It is designed to avoid electrical hazards and increase efficiency by allowing the left burner (induction cooktop) and the right burner (infrared hot plate) to share power between them when they are in Power Mode. When operating only one burner, the maximum power of the left burner is 1800W and the right is 1600W.
When operating both burners at the same time, their maximum COMBINED power is 1800W. Increasing the power level of one burner will cause the other burner to self-adjust, in order not to exceed 1800W. When using the right burner in Power Mode Level 5.5 (1100W) or greater, the left burner does not work, and “O” will be displayed.

Please refer to the table below for more details about the Power Sharing feature.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The cooktop is easy to maintain. Use a moist cloth with a mild liquid detergent to wipe off grease or spills and let dry. Protect the cooktop from dust by covering it when not in use. Avoid the following:

DO NOT:

• clean the COOKTOP SURFACE with metal scouring pads, abrasives, or solvents
• immerse cord or cooktop unit in water or other liquids
• keep the unit plugged in while cleaning
• keep the unit plugged in when not in use
• store or clean the unit while still hot

Error Code Guide:
If an error code appears in the DISPLAY, follow the instructions below according to the error code displayed to correct the problem:

Induction Cooktop

Pot

| No cookware is detected, incompatible cookware is detected or cookware is

not centered on the COOKWARE

ALIGNMENT GUIDE.

| If no cookware is on the cooktop, place cookware on the top within 1 minute. If incompatible cookware is detected, replace it with compatible cookware. If the cookware is misaligned, move it within the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE. The unit will shut down automatically after 1 minute if none of these actions are taken.

E1

| Excessive high temperature, cooking fan malfunction, or inadequate ventilation

for the cooktop.

| Unplug the cord from the electrical outlet. Ensure proper ventilation by making sure the fan is at least 4″ away from any obstruction. Wait 10 minutes for the cooktop and cookware to cool down and then plug it back into a 120V electrical outlet.

Turn the unit on and listen for the fan to confirm it is running.

E2

| The sensor is in normal

operation. When the surface temperature rises above approximately 518°F (270 °C), the unit will activate overheating protection. When the surface temperature rises above approximately 554°F (290°C), the unit will display E2 and shut down automatically in one minute.
