For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
- To protect against electric shock, do not immerse power cord or plugs in water or other liquids.
- Do not touch surfaces that may be hot.
- CAUTION: Do not place cooktop on stainless steel or metal surfaces during use. Due to the induction method of heat transfer, certain metallic surfaces will become hot and could damage the cooktop base.
- CAUTION: Surfaces under the cooktop may become hot during and after use. DO NOT touch surfaces. Keep metal utensils away from unit, as they may heat up.
- A void contact with moving parts.
- Do not operate the Waring® Commercial Induction Cooktop or any other electrical equipment with a damaged cord or plug, or after the unit malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return it to the nearest Waring Authorized Service Center for examination, repair, and/or adjustment.
- The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Waring may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- The Waring® Commercial Induction Cooktop should always be on a stable countertop or table.
- Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- Do not cook on broken cooktop – If the glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken surface and create a risk of electric shock.
- Clean cooktop with caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn; some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
- Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the glass surface; they can get hot.

The timer can be adjusted to a maximum time of 180 minutes. At the end of the timed cycle, the timer will beep five times.
NOTE: The induction cooktop runs up to 180 minutes. If it has been cooking for more than 30 minutes, if you set a timer for an additional 160 minutes, the cooktop will still turn off after the 180-minute mark. If you need to cook for more than 180 minutes, simply turn the cooktop off and then on again. When the unit is off, the fan may continue running for a minute or more.
