Automatic Safety Shut-Off
If the induction cooker is left on for more than 60 seconds without a pan or with an incompatible pan, the unit will automatically shutoff.

Material Compatibility Detector
If the pan’s material or its dimensions are not suitable for this induction cooker, the “Heating
Indicator Light” will not turn on. The induction cooker will shutoff automatically after 60 seconds.

Small Object Detector
The induction cooker will not recognize any objects smaller than 2” (5 cm) in diameter. For best results, use pans that are between 4.75” (12 cm) and 10.25” (26 cm) in diameter.

Over Heating Protection Device
If the pan’s temperature becomes too high, and the temperature remains too high for 60 seconds, the unit will shut off automatically. There will be a short warning sound after the unit shutsoff.

HOW DOES YOUR INDUCTION HOB WORK?

A high frequency (20-35KHz) induction coil located underneath the ceramic top plate heats the cooking pan by magnetic friction. The heat is produced directly within the pan.
It’s controlled by an electronic circuit to offer superior performance and functions. During cooking, no energy is lost between the hob and the food. When you switch it off, the cooking is stopped immediately.

PRECAUTION BEFORE USING YOUR INDUCTION HOB

1. The glass top is made of strong, hard, and non-porous properties. But, in case of breakage, even if it’s only slightly cracked, disconnect the appliance from the electrical socket immediately and contact the after-sales service.
2. The appliance is equipped with a Small Object Detector. It’s recommended not to place small metal kitchen utensils such as pan lids, knives, or other metal objects on the induction-heating zone. If the inductor is switched on, there is a risk of them becoming hot.
3. When using your induction hob, don’t place any magnetic sensitive objects on the glass top, such as credit cards, cassettes, etc.
4. Scientific tests have shown that the induction hob presents no danger for anyone using a pacemaker. Please keep a 2’ distance from the unit while the induction hob is in use.
5. To prevent from overheating, do not place aluminum foil or iron plate on the top plate.
6. Put the appliance on a horizontal surface but keep away from wall or articles at least 2” – 4”.
7. To prevent an electric shock, do not put articles like iron wire or tools into the air entrance or outlet.
8. Immediate clean up is recommended when water is left on the top plate.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

1. Plug power cord into 120V, 60Hz, 15A (IC-18A); 208V, 60Hz, 11A (IC-22A); 240V, 60Hz, 11A (IC-25A) dedicated electrical circuit.

2. Turn power on by pressing the power on/off button.

3. Rotate the power control knob clockwise. The power level LED will display from level 1 (Min.) to level 9 (Max.). If you turn past 9 it will start at 1 again. The same applies if you turn back past 1.

4. Put a suitable pan in center of the top plate, and rotate power control knob to desired power level.

5. Heating Indicator Light indicates if the pan is suitable or not. If the Heating Indicator Light is on, then the pan is heating. If the Heating Indicator Light is off, it means the power is on, but no pan or suitable pan is on top plate.

6. This unit is equipped with an Over Heating Protection Device, which stops power temporarily when top plate temperature reaches 482°F (+/- 10%). The power will start again automatically when the temperature of the top plate is reduced below 482°F (+/- 10%). By heating an empty pan, maximum temperature will be reached very quickly. The Heating Indicator Light will flash to indicate the over heating protection function is on.
   Temperature Hold function: By pressing the “Warm” function key, the Temperature Hold function will start working. The LED indicates the temperature will hold at 140°F (+/- 5%), push “Warm” function key again, the LED indicates the temperature will hold at 180°F. When the “Warm” function key is pushed each time, the holding temperature will change as follows: 140°F -> 180°F -> 285°F -> 360°F -> 430°F -> 140°F ->.

7. With the Temperature Hold function working, the “Warm” indicator light will start flashing. It means the temperature has not yet arrived at the set temperature. When the pan’s temperature arrives the set temperature, the “Warm” indicator light will stay on.

8. To change Temperature Hold function to “Heat” function: Push “Heat” function key, and the function will go back to “Heat” again. Then the rotary control knob will be activated again.
