true INDUCTION Double Burner MD-2B Conuter Inset Induction Cooktop
Cooktop Installation
Dimensions and Placement for Cut-out in Countertop
- Cut a rectangle hole in the countertop where the cooktop is to be placed. The dimensions for the cut-out are 13 ³⁄8” x 19 ³⁄8”
- The cut-out must be placed at least 2 ¹⁄2″ from any side of the countertop.
- To achieve flush mounting installation, use a router tool to round the corners of the hole cut into the countertop.
USE—- COUNTERTOP
- Please find 4 feet in the packaging, you can screw them into the bottom of the unit, then the unit can be used directly on the countertop.
- First, feed the power wire through the hole and to the location of the power receptacle underneath the cabinet.
- The ‘h” overhang on the induction cooker comes with a pre-installed foam gasket. Peel off the adhesive protector on the bottom of the gasket and set the induction cooker into the cutout.
- Gently press down on the induction cooktop to secure the adhesive gasket to the countertop.
- For RV use, apply butyl tape instead of the supplied foam tape. Butyl tape will provide adequate adhesion and still allow for removal if the unit needs to be serviced.
Clearance Needed for Air Circulation
- Below you will see a diagram of the air flow. Be sure not to block either the intake or exhaust
- For proper air circulation, allow at least 3″ of clearance from the bottom of the induction cooker to any shelving or storage. The underside of the countertop should not be closed off from the cabinetry underneath for better airflow.
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 cookers 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: a 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 as knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans, or aluminum 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, reverse 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 off the unit press the Power button.
- It is important to be aware that the unit’s surface will remain hot for a short period after use.
- Disconnect the power and allow it to cool before performing any maintenance or repairs.
- Clean cooktop with caution – do not clean while the unit is still hot, some cleaners produce steam or fumes if applied to a heated surface.
- Do not use the cooktop for any other use than directed by the manufacturer.

- Using the +/ – keys you can change the settings at any time, ranging from 1- 10. This is considered 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 automatically (i.e., one side is at 6, the other burner automatically reduces power to level 8 creating a total of max 14 settings).
- 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 “9.”
Using the Temperature Setting
- Using the +/ – keys you can change the temperature settings at any time. Settings range from 150-450 degrees Fahrenheit. (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 reduce 1 minute.
- The display will count down the duration in minutes. Once the time is up, the unit sounds and automatically goes into standby 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.
- During the timer countdown, the display only shows the HEAT or TEMP settings. Users can press the TIMER button once to check the rest timer, it will show in 5 seconds.
Built-In Safety Shut-Off

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 portable 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, aluminum pan/pots, round-bottomed cookware, or cookware with a base of 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.
