SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS APPROVED FOR COMMERCIAL USE
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
- For your protection, the Waring™ Commercial Induction Range is equipped with a 3-conductor cord set.
- 120, 208 and 240 volt units are supplied with a molded
- prong grounding-type plug and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet, as shown in Figure 1.
If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained to enable a 2-slot wall outlet to be used with a 3-prong plug.
As shown in Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding
lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an
adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly
grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter
unless you are sure it is properly grounded. NOTE: Use of an adapter is
not permitted in Canada.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be
used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the
marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord, and the
longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

OPERATION
NOTE: The Induction Range requires induction-ready cookware. If the pan is not induction ready, it will not register on the induction range. The LCD display will show “—–” and “STANDBY” will flash (as seen in figure 1) when attempting to select a heat mode without an induction-ready pan on the glass cooking surface. The unit will automatically shut off after 60 seconds of not having an induction-ready pot/pan.
- Before turning on the power, make sure the cookware is on the ceramic cooking surface. Your Waring™ Commercial Induction Range is equipped with small-object detection which will prevent it from operating unless you have an appropriate sized induction-ready pan in place.
- To turn the power on, press the ON/OFF button and choose a cooking mode by pressing HEAT or TEMP button. NOTE: The unit will automatically shut off after 30 seconds if you do not choose a cooking mode.
- The HEAT button allows you to choose how many watts of power to cook with.
- The TEMP button allows you to choose the temperature at which you cook.
- Once you’ve chosen a cooking mode, use the + and –buttons to set the desired wattage or temperature.
EMPTY-PAN DETECTION
After extended periods of time with an empty pan, your Waring™ Commercial
Induction Range will automatically shut off.
CHOOSING FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS
In TEMP mode, you can choose Fahrenheit or Celsius. When the unit is plugged
in and in the OFF position the LCD screen will be blank. Press and hold the
TEMP button for three seconds. The screen will illuminate and display °C and
°F, as seen in figure 2. The current setting will blink. Use the + and –
buttons to switch to your desired setting. Once your desired setting is
blinking, press the TEMP button to confirm and then press the ON/OFF button.
NOTE: The induction burner automatically defaults to Fahrenheit once
unplugged.
SETTING THE TIMER
INDUCTION-READY POTS AND PANS
To use the Waring™ Commercial Induction Range, your pot or pan must have a
flat bottom surface of 4.75 inches to 10 inches in diameter and be marked
suitable for induction cooking.
SAFETY
CAUTION: UNPLUG FROM OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE!
Please note that the unit will still be too hot to handle immediately after
use.
The Waring™ Commercial Induction Range has a thermal cutoff safety device to
avoid overheating. If the Induction Range shuts off automatically, unplug it
and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. Plug back in and continue use.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The exterior of unit may be cleaned by carefully wiping it with a damp cloth. Clean the cooking surface while the unit is warm, using warm soapy water. DO NOT USE COLD WATER ON WARM SURFACES.
Do not immerse completely in water to clean. The appliance is not to be
cleaned with a water jet.
