Important Safety Information

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed. For the True Induction cooker, even with built-in safety features, it is essential to heed all precautions:

When the unit is on, do not touch outside the control panel as the surface may contain residual heat.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord plugs or cooker in water (or other liquid substances).
When using any electric appliance used around children, close supervision is strongly suggested.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after a malfunction or if it has been damaged in any manner. Read the seller’s guidelines for warranty repairs and returns.
Do not cook on a broken or damaged cooktop as spillovers may penetrate the surface and create a risk of electric shock.
To avoid potential injury, do not use accessory attachments that aren’t recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not let the cord dangle over the edge of the table or counter. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.
Do not place the cooktop on or near: hot gas, electric burner or heated oven.
To prevent accidents and achieve optimal fan ventilation, allow for suﬃcient space around the cooking area.
Items with a magnetic ﬁeld such as: radios, televisions, credit cards, cassette tapes etc., can aﬀect the unit.
The power cord provided has been sized accordingly, however, with caution and care extension cords may be used.
- a. The marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
- 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.
Do not use with empty pans/pots.
Do not place metallic objects such a knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans or aluminium foil on the cooktop.
To prevent accidents and achieve optimal ventilation, allow for suﬃcient space around the cooking area.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, the plug will ﬁt on the outlet only one way. If the prongs do not ﬁt fully, re-verse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact the seller for warranty support; do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
To properly turn the unit press the Power button.
It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will remain hot for a short period of time after use.
Disconnect power and allow to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs.
Clean cooktop with caution – do not clean while unit is still hot, some cleaners produce steam or fumes if applied to a heated surface.
Do not use cooktop for any other use then directed by the manufacturer.

How to Use

Plug the power plug into a standard outlet.
The Power button will light up and the unit will sound to indicate on.
The device will remain in switched-on mode, awaiting user direction.
Place ferromagnetic cookware (with water, oil or food already inside) on the center of the glass-ceramic top center.
Now press the Power button on the control panel, this will turn the cooktop on. The Power indicator keeps lighting, display default shows “- – -“, and the indicators of HEAT and TEMP start flashing.
Press the Heat function key once. The pre-set power level “5” is the default selection as the device turns on.
Using the +/ – keys you can change the settings at any time, ranging from 1- 10. This is con-sidered to be the HEAT function.

Power Invariance Technology

The maximum power of an individual burner level is at setting 10. But, when operating both burners their combined total is level 14, meaning that when operating the two burners at the same time they’ll self adjust levels accordingly:

When you increase the power of one side, the power output of the other side will reduce au-tomatically (i.e., one side is at 6, the other burner automatically reduces power to level 8 cre-ating a total of max 14 setting).
If one side of the double burner is using the HEAT function and the other side uses the TEMP settings, the maximum HEAT setting is “5.”

Using the Temperature Setting

Using the +/ – keys you can change the temperature settings at any time. Settings range from 150-450 degrees Fahrenheit. (Exact temperatures: 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420 and 450 F).

Using the Timer Function

After selecting the HEAT or TEMP mode, press the TIMER button once. The display will show the number “0” Using the +/ – keys you can select the operating time in 5-minute intervals (up to max 150 min.) and reducing 1 minute.
The display will count down the duration in minutes. Once the time is up, the unit sounds and automatically goes into switch-on mode. To continue cooking, press the Power button and Heat button to restart.
During the timer operation, you can change the timer duration at any time with the arrow keys. The device’s built-in memory maintains the HEAT or TEMP setting previously entered.
You can also change the HEAT or TEMP settings without aﬀecting the current timer setting.

Built-In Safety Shut Off

The True Induction cooktop is designed to automatically shut oﬀ after 150 minutes of use. This built-in auto shut oﬀ is a safety feature.
This function occurs for both the HEAT and TEMP settings. Display will show “H” if the cooking zone is hot.
In the event your food requires further cooking, the unit can easily be turned back on and re-set to the desired setting

Turning Off Unit

When you are ﬁnished cooking, simply press the Power button to turn oﬀ the machine.
Upon completion of cooking, the fan remains on 1 minute to let the unit cool.

Compatible Cookware

Induction requires pots and pans that are made of ferrous (meaning magnetic) materials. Check your cookware’s retail box for the induction symbol. To tell if your current cookware is compatible with the induction technology, grab a magnet and see if it holds. If your magnet stays then your cookware is ready to be used on the True Induction double burner induction cooktop! Optimal cookware has a ﬂat bottom and a diameter of 4.72″ – 10.24″ inches. Round, ﬂat bottom pans give the best results. Pans with warped or curved bottoms will not heat evenly. For wok cooking, use a ﬂat-bottom wok. Do not use a wok with a support ring. Look for this induction image on the retail box:

The following are NOT COMPATIBLE:

Heat-resistant glass, ceramic, copper, aluminium pan/pots, round-bottomed cookware, or cookware with a base less than 4.72 inches.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Please follow these directions along with important safety steps for cleaning advised at the beginning of the manual:

Before cleaning always switch OFF the device and wait for it to be completely cool. Clean the unit after each use to remove food residues.
Wipe oﬀ the glass-ceramic plate and the plastic surface with a slightly damp cloth (mico-ﬁber works best). Dishwashing soap may be used when necessary.
Make sure that no water seeps into the device. Never use abrasive cleaners (i.e. metal pads) or oil-based liquids. Never run the cooktop underwater.
A vacuum cleaner attachment may be used to suck up dirt from the air intake and exhaust vent.
