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:

• Plug only into grounded electrical outlets that match the voltage on the rating label.
• This equipment requires a dedicated circuit.
• Do not use extension cords, power strips or surge protectors with this 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 cook-top 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 attach any accessory objects to this equipment.

FUNCTION AND PURPOSE

This equipment is intended for use in commercial food service operations only. It is not intended for household, industrial or laboratory use. It is intended to be used with induction-ready cookware.

COOKWARE REQUIREMENTS

Compatible

• Drop-in Ranges: Flat base 4¾” to 12″ (12.1 to 30.5 cm) in diameter
• Countertop Ranges: Flat base 4¾” to 10¼” (12.1 to 26.0 cm) in diameter
