Ensure that the following conditions are met for adequate ventilation of the cooktop and that the supply and exhaust air is not blocked:

• The safety distance between the cooktop and the cabinet or the vent hood should be at least 30 inch.
  • If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven must have its own fan.

The cooktop must connect to a separate, grounded wire, single phase, AC only electrical supply with its own circuit breaker. These appliances must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Codes, as well as all state, municipal and local codes. This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency and amperage, which is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse.

IMPORTANT: Use the 3-wire cable from home power supply where local codes permit a 3-wire connection.

Compatible Cookware

Use only induction cookware or induction compatible cookware.

Check your cookware's retail box for the induction symbol. To determine if your cookware is compatible with the induction technology, use a magnet and see if it holds to the bottom of the cookware. If the magnet stays on, then your cookware can be used on the induction cooktop!

Optimally the cookware will have this induction image on the retail box:

Induction

The following are not compatible: glass, ceramic, copper, aluminum, round-bottomed cookware, or cookware with a base less than 5 inches.

NOTE: Some cookware can produce noises when using induction cooking. This is not a fault in the cooktop, and its function will not be impaired in any way as a result. The use of some types of light weight cookware may produce various sounds and vibrations, particularly when cooking at high power levels. High quality cookware is recommended.

To select the burner to use and the power level, press the burner icon for the desired burner. You can select the power or heat level by pressing the + or - icons.

Residual Heat Indicator

When the cooktop has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat which is indicated on the display as "H". It will turn off once cooktop is cooled down. It can take approximately 30 minutes to cool down completely.

Timer

Press the Timer icon to activate the timer for either of the two burners. Each time the timer icon is pressed the indicator light for either the front or rear burner will illuminate. Once the burner is selected, press the + or - icons on the control panel to set the number of minutes to set the cooking time. The time will show on the digital display and the numbers will count down on it as the time progresses.

To cancel the timer, press the timer icon to select the burner to cancel. Then press the number "0" two times on the control panel. Or press the timer icon for 3 seconds and all times for all the burners will be cancelled.

Note: Each burner on the cooktop is equipped with a safety temperature sensor which switches off the cooktop if there is excessive heat. This is to protect the electronics from overheating. Wait for the cooktop to cool down before using it again. If any cracks appear on the surface of the cooktop, immediately disconnect it from the power.

If a cooktop is left on accidentally, it will automatically be switched off after a period of time has elapsed.

Press the PB icon and the display panel will show "P" while the Power Boost is on. The Power Boost is 1800 W and it will remain on for 5 minutes. Then the heat level will reduce to 9 (1400 W). Power Boost can be cancelled by pressing the burner icon and then the + or – icons to adjust the heat level.

Note: Only one burner can use the Power Boost feature at a time. Both burners cannot use Power Boost at the same time.

Child Lock

To ensure the safety of children, the cooktop controls can be locked so children cannot change the settings.

To lock: hold the Child Lock icon ⏻ for 3 seconds until “L0” displays and the rest of the icons are disabled except the On/Off Power icon. To unlock: hold down the Child Lock icon for 3 seconds and the cooktop will return to normal.

Maintenance

• Wait for the cooktop to cool down completely before cleaning it.

• Use mild detergent and a damp cloth to wipe down the cooktop.
  • Periodically, use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust from intake and exhaust vents.
