PARTS IDENTIFICATION

SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE

‘Your induction hob 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 hob.
The bottom surface of the cookware must:

• be made of a ferrous magnetic material, If the cookware bottom is made of material with low ferrous magnetic content, the “POT” error code may display, indicating cookware is not suited for induction cooking.
• have a flat bottom surface with a minimum bottom diameter of 12cm; The diameter and thickness of the cookware bottom needs to be large enough to catch the magnetic wave, otherwise the induction hob may not operate (displays “POT” error code)
• touch the induction hob or rise no more than 2.5 cm 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)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: ALWAYS USE A DEDICATED OUTLET. This unit is designed to operate using a 220-240V electrical outlet having a 9.5 amp capacity. This is a high draw appliance and should not share an outlet or circuit with any other electrical appliance.
Setup

• Place the unit on a dry, stable, level and non-combustible, non-metallic surface.

• Allow at least 4 inches of space around the whole induction hob unit for proper ventilation.

• Plug the POWER CORD into a 220-240V/ 9.5 amp electrical socket. The POWER INDICATOR light will iluminate red.

• Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the compatible cookware and the cookware is centered on the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE on the induction hob SURFACE.

• Turn the power on by pressing the ON/OFF button, the LCD display screen will light up showing a series of dashes, and the COOL AIR FAN will run. Press the Menu button, the induction hob wil operate in Power Mode at the default power setting of 5.0, with Power 5.0 displaying in the LCD READOUT DISPLAY.

• After cooking is completed, press the ON/OFF button to tur off the unit. The COOLING FAN will continue running to cool down the unit. A warning message “Hot” will appear on the LCD READOUT DISPLAY, indicating the glass surface is still hot. The word “HOT” will only appear on the display if the induction hob has reached a pre-programmed internal temperature. The fan however, will remain on regardless of temperature once the unit is turned off.

• If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, see the Troubleshooting Guide in section 6.
  NOTE:

• Cookware must be on the induction hob before pressing the ON/OFF button.

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

Operation Modes
This unit offers both Power Mode and Temperature (Temp) Mode for convenient and efficient cooking along with an automatic 10-hour timer. Pressing the Menu button will alternate between  Power Mode and Temperature Mode.
Limitations of Temperature Mode:
Like all other induction hob with a glass top, the temperature sensor is located undemeath the glass top. As a result, and that different cookware yields different temperatures, the temperature readout is only an estimate of the actual cooking temperature. The temperature in your pan may be different than the setting you have selected. Please test a few times to find the proper temperature setting for your particular cooking task and cookware.
POWER MODE OPERATION
The Power and Temperature Mode functions work independently of each other. The power level selected directly relates to the amount of wattage, or the BTU/HR equivalent, the induction hob generates. To increase the cooking speed, select a higher power level.
The default power setting is 5.0. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE BUTTONS to adjust power setting from 0.5-10, total 20 power levels.
Note: The data are based on tests using factory standard cookware. Testing with different cookware will produce different wattage results.

Copyright 2014 – 2023 Secura, Inc. Al rights reserved.

TEMPERATURE MODE OPERATION
The Temperature Mode should be used when a specific cooking temperature s required. Once the cookware has reached the selected temperature, the unit will cycle to maintain the selected cooking temperature
The default temperature setting is 160°C. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE BUTTONS to adjust the temperature setting. Use the Temperature Mode when specific temperature must be maintained. This mode has 20 settings: 50-240°C.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE

If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to disassemble or repair yourself. Please contact us at CustomerCare@thesecura.com for assistance PROBLEM – After plugging in the power cord, the POWER INDICATOR LIGHT does not illuminate red and/or the exhaust fan is not running:

• The plug may be loose in the electrical outlet or
• The circuit breaker may be inoperative o tripped
• PROBLEM – The POWER INDICATOR LIGHT is lit, but the fan is not running, nor is the cookware heating up:
• Press the “MENU” button
• Using the incompatible type of cookware (non-magnetic)
• The pan is not centered on the induction hob ALIGNMENT GUIDE
• The induction hob SURFACE may be cracked
• PROBLEM – The induction hob suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down:
• The induction hob unit shuts down due to the overheating sensor detecting an excessive high surface temperature. The cause may be heating empty cookware or cooking at a high power setting for too long
• Ablocked COOL AIR INLET & FAN or WARM AIR OUTLET caused induction hob to overheat;
• The unit was unplugged while in use
• The fuse or circuit breaker tripped during use (Do not plug other appliances into the same circuit while using the induction hob)

PROBLEM – When the cookware is overheated under Power Mode, the unit stops working but the display is not changed. When the cookware temperature drops to normal, the unit continues to operate as set before.
This is a safety feature. This is most likely to happen when you are trying to fry or sauté food. These cooking methods involve high heat and need a regulating temperature within a certain range. If the temperature is too low, it may not cook your food properly. However if the temperature is too high, it may burn your food. Once in Temperature Mode you can adjust the temperature to the appropriate setting that fits your cooking task.
For information about when to use Power Mode or Temperature Mode, please refer to POWER MODE V.S. TEMPERATURE MODE section in this manual.
Error code guide
If an error code appears in the LCD READOUT DISPLY, follow the instructions below according to the error code displayed to correct the problem:

If E2 happens during water boiling, please follow the directions below: Unplug cord from the electrical outlet, Wait 10 minutes for induction hob and cookware to cool down and reconnect cord to the electrical outlet. Turn unit on and listen for the fan to run. Ensure unit is at least 4″ away from any obstruction.
E3| Voltage input is too high or too low and shuts down after one minute.| Unplug cord from the electrical outlet. Verify the voltage is 220-240V AC with a voltage tester. If not, switch to a different electrical outlet with the proper voltage before operating the unit.

Note: If any of the above remedies fail to correct the problem, please contact CustomerCare@thesecura.com.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are induction hob advantages?
To serious cooks, the most important advantage of induction hobs is that you can adjust the cooking heat instantly and with great precision. The induction hob uses a standard 220-240V of electrical power and plugs into a standard household electrical outlet. Because duxtop® induction hobs produce up to 2100 watts of power, they are almost 50% more powerful than gas stoves and heat up to temperature nearly twice as fast as electric cooking elements.
Is induction cooking more efficient than gas?
With an 83% energy efficiency, induction cooking is more efficient than both electric or gas.
How safe is induction cooking?
Because there is no open flame or hot cooking element, the induction process produces heat only within the cookware. The induction hob surface remains cool except for the heat transferred from the bottom of the cookware to the glass surface (immediately below the cookware).
What are the electrical power requirements?
Single burner induction units designed for household use in the market are all capable of operating efficiently on a standard 220-240V outlet. It is strongly recommended to dedicate an outlet for each individual unit when being used since each unit will draw about 9.5 amps, the amperage of most common household electrical outlets.
What type of cookware can | use?
The general rule of thumb is, if a magnet sticks o i, it will work with the duxtop® induction hob. Cookware made from cast iron, iron, enameled steel or iron, or magnetic stainless steel work very well. duxtop® offers a large selection of Whole-clad Tri-ply Induction Ready Premium Cookware™
How is induction cooking different than electric cooking?
Induction units place the electrical energy directly into the cookware without using energy towards a heating element. Regular electric cooking elements use energy to heat the heating element and then through conduction, the heat is transferred to the cooking pan. Induction cooking heating is very fast and responsive to temperature control changes making them even faster and more efficient than gas cooking. Resistance-type heating elements are very inefficient and are slow to respond.
Is it easy to use?
The rapid heating of the cookware makes all kinds of cooking fast and easy, especially when warming, sautéing, frying, and boiling pasta. Cleaning a duxtop® induction hob unit is easy. With no open flame or heating element, food does not burn-on so you can just wipe the induction hob surface clean with a damp towel
