FUNCTION AND PURPOSE

This unit is intended to be used with standard flat-bottom cast iron skillet pans measuring 4-1/2” (11.4 cm) to 10-1/4” (26 cm) wide. This unit is intended for use in commercial food service operations only. It is not intended for household, industrial, or laboratory use.

INSTALLATION

This unit is to be used on a flat, level surface.

NOTE : This unit is not designed to be inclosed or built into any area. There must be a minimum of 4” (10 cm) of space between the rear of the induction unit and any surrounding surface. There must be 3/4” (2 cm) between the bottom of the induction unit and any surrounding surface.
Sufficient airflow must be allowed around the unit. Blocking the airflow could cause the unit to overheat.

1. Place the induction unit on a flat stable surface.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet with the matching nameplate-rated voltage.
   NOTE: Using a voltage other than the nameplate-rated voltage will cause damage to the unit. Incorrect voltage, modification to the power cord, or electrical components can damage the unit and will void the warranty.

OPERATION

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. The liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.

If liquid spills or boils over onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit and remove the cookware. Wipe up any liquid with a padded cloth.

1. Place the room temperature standard flat bottom cast iron skillet pan in the center position of the heating surface.
   NOTE: Do not drop cooking utensils or other objects onto the cooking surface. The strong, non-porous surface can break. The warranty does not cover this type of abuse.

2. Press the HEAT CYCLE button (D) or the RE-HEAT CYCLE button (E). A heating cycle will begin and the preset timer will begin to countdown on the display panel (C). See Figure 1.

3. Press the OFF button (A) to turn the unit “OFF” before the heating cycle has ended.

WARNING: Burn Hazard.

• Do not touch cookware, heating surface, food, or liquid while heating.
• Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Induction heating surfaces heat very rapidly. Use caution when adding to pre-heated oil, liquid, or other food already in the cookware.

If the temperature of the cooking surface becomes too hot, the unit will turn off. The display will flash “F-2” to indicate the unit is in “over-heating protection” mode. After the unit has cooled, turn the cooking surface on and if “F-2” is not displayed, then cooking can resume.
The display window should remain constant during operation. If the display is flashing, see the TROUBLESHOOTING section in this manual.
Removing cookware for less than two minutes will not interrupt the operation of the unit.

• A OFF button. Press to turn the unit “OFF” during a cooking cycle.
• B POWER light. Illuminates steady during a cooking cycle. Blinks if the pan is removed during a cooking cycle.
• C DISPLAY panel. This displays the time remaining during the heat cycle and displays fault codes.
• D HEAT CYCLE button. This button activates a 60-second cycle that heats a pan to 400°F – 500°F or (204°C – 260°C).
• E RE-HEAT CYCLE button. This button activates a 15-second cycle that heats a pan to 250°F – 350°F or (121°C – 176°C).

CLEANING

To maintain the appearance and increase the service life, clean your Induction Heater daily.

• Unplug the unit and let it completely cool.
• Wipe the unit exterior with a clean damp cloth.
• Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers, or souring pads to clean the unit. These can damage the finish.
