SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
To ensure safe operation, read the following statements and understand their meaning. This manual contains safety precautions which are explained below. Please read carefully.
WARNING
Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause
severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause
minor or major personal injury if the caution is ignored.
NOTICE: Notice is used to note information that is important but not hazard-
related.
To reduce risk of injury or damage to the equipment:
· Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet when not in use. · Use this
equipment only in a flat, level position. · To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse, the cord or plug
in water. Keep the cord away from heated surface. Do not let the cord hang
over the edge of table or counter. · As a precaution, persons using a
pacemaker should stand back 12″ (30 cm) from an operating unit. Studies have
shown that the induction element will not disrupt a pacemaker. · Keep all
credit cards, driver licenses and other items with a magnetic strip away from
an operating unit. The unit’s magnetic field will damage the information on
these strips. · The heating surface is made of a strong, non-porous material.
However, should it crack or break, stop using and immediately unplug the unit.
Cleaning solutions and spills could penetrate the broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. · Do not operate this equipment with a damaged cord
or plug or if it is not functioning properly. · Do not operate unattended.
Closely supervise units operating in public areas and/or around children. · Do
not place any objects inside the air intake or exhaust panels. · Do not modify
the equipment or a attach any accessory other than the included temperature
control probe and USB flash drive.

OPERATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside
of the equipment. Liquid inside the equipment could cause an electrical shock.
Turn on the Induction Range
1. Place the induction range on a flat stable surface. 2. Plug the range into
an electrical outlet that matches the voltage
shown on the rating plate.
3. Place a pan containing food or liquid onto the cooking surface.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard Do not touch hot food, liquid or heating surfaces while equipment
is heating or operating.

damage unit and will void the warranty.
NOTICE: Do not use extension cords, power strips or surge protectors with this equipment.
NOTICE: Do not preheat empty cookware nor leave an empty cookware on an operating range. Because of the speed and efficiency of the induction range, cookware can very quickly overheat and be damaged.
NOTICE: Do not drop cooking utensils or other objects onto the cooking surface or control panel. The surfaces could break. The warranty does not cover broken cook-top or control panel glass.
NOTICE: Do not use heat-sealed cans or containers. They may explode.
NOTICE: When the temperature control probe or the USB flash drive are not in use, the covers must be installed over the ports. Operating this equipment without the covers could allow food debris or moisture to enter the ports which could damage the equipment. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

After three seconds, the timer will begin to count down and will flash to indicate the timer is in use.
Use the Temperature Control Probe (Optional)
The temperature control probe provides advanced temperature control. The probe
monitors the temperature of the food and then automatically adjusts the output
of the range as needed to heat the food to the selected temperature. For best
performance and food quality, stir the food often when using the temperature
control probe.
NOTE: The Temperature Control Probe is intended to provide a more consistent
and accurate cooking temperature. It is not intended to be used as a
thermometer for measuring the temperature of food.
Attach Probe and Insert into the Food
1. Use a soft clean cloth to wipe the tip of the probe. This is important to
keep the port clean and working properly.
2. Remove the cover from the temperature control probe port. Plug the probe
into port.
4. When the timer reaches zero, a buzzer will sound and the display will show END. Heating will stop.
3. Place the probe into the center of the food. Use the included probe clip to secure the probe to the pan and suspend it in the center of the food. Do not allow the probe to rest on the bottom of the cookware. For the most accurate temperature control, the probe must be positioned into the center of the food, and not touch the bottom of the pan.

The display may show HOT until the cooking surface cools.
2. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet. 3. Allow the equipment to cool. 4.
Wipe the exterior with a clean damp cloth. 5. Thoroughly wipe off any soap
residue.
NOTICE: Soap residue could corrode the surface of the unit.
Clean the USB and Temperature Control Probe Ports (As needed)
The USB and temperature control probe port covers should always be in place
when not in use to prevent food debris from entering the ports. However, if
food debris does enter the ports, they can be cleaned.
1. Turn off and unplug the induction range. 2. Use a cotton swab dipped into
isopropyl alcohol to gently remove
the debris. 3. Allow the port(s) to air dry before placing the cap over the
port(s).
