Function

Spring USA’s 300-watt, Lo PRO™ Induction Range, item #SM300-LP, is a portable, product holding range intended for countertop use. The range features a durable, all-black housing with touch controls on the glass surface. The range has been designed specifically to keep food warm. Food must be at or above serving temperature before being placed on the range.

NOTICE: The induction range only maintains temperature – it does not cook or continue to cook food.

Installation

Inspect all parts of the induction range prior to installation and use. If the unit is damaged, do not use. Contact a supplier for a replacement.

To prepare the induction range for use, simply place the unit on a flat, level surface. Ensure the installation location has dedicated power. There must be at least 1.2” (3 cm) of space available around the induction range for proper ventilation.

Operation

To operate the induction range, induction-ready vessels must be used.

Glass serving vessels are not suited for use on the induction range.
Vessels must have a flat base in order to make full contact with the range. Vessels that are footed, or that have a raised ridge, are not suited for the induction range.
Vessels must have a base diameter greater than 4.7”.

NOTICE:
Spring USA induction servers and induction ranges are designed to work together as a system. Optimal performance is achieved by using Spring USA components in conjunction with each other. Spring USA cannot guarantee the performance of facsimile products offered by other companies.

Follow the below steps for operating the induction range:

Plug in the unit. Press the ON/OFF button.
Place the vessel on the induction range surface.
NOTICE:
As a safety feature, if no induction ready vessel is placed on the surface after 2.5 minutes, the unit will shut off.
The LED lights above each setting will blink until a setting is pressed
Press the desired setting button. See the below chart for approximate temperature ranges.
Low| Low-Med| Med-High| High
---|---|---|---
145-155°F| 156-165°F| 166-175°F| 176-185°F
62-68°C| 69-73°C| 74-79°C| 80-85°C
The LED lights will stop blinking and only the LED light above the selected setting button will remain on.
To ensure the setting does not change unintentionally, press the lock button on the side of the range to lock the controls. The ring around the lock button will illuminate blue. The settings and ON/OFF button will not function when the lock in engaged.
To enable the settings and ON/OFF button, simply press the lock button again and the blue ring around the button should no longer be illuminated.
The induction range will continue to warm until the set temperature is reached. Once the temperature is reached, the range will maintain that temperature.
To change settings, simply press the desired setting button.
To turn off the unit, press the ON/OFF button. No LED lights should be illuminated.

Caution
Do not touch the top surface of the induction range immediately after heating and removing a vessel. The top surface may be hot due to heat transferred from the vessel.

Maintenance

To clean the induction range, first ensure the unit has been turned off, unplugged from the power source and has cooled before handling.
Wipe down the unit with a sponge or cloth with a mild dishwashing liquid. Dry with a clean, soft cloth. Do not immerse the induction range directly in water for cleaning – this will damage the unit.
