SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

3-PRONG PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong, grounding type, wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 latest edition and all local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong, wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.
• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

PARTS DESCRIPTION

See page 2.

• Place on a dry, flat, level, and heat-resistant surface and close to an electric socket.
• For proper ventilation provide at least 4-6 in (10-15 cm) of space above and around the appliance.
• Make sure the temperature dial (4) is set in "0" position, and that the power dial (1) is set to "OFF", before plugging in.
• Plug into a 120 Volt A.C. wall outlet.
• Turn the ON/OFF knob to the ON position by turning clockwise.
• The invisible protective coating must be removed before you can use the appliance. To do this, set the controls to the maximum setting and heat at the "5" level for approximately 10 minutes. Smoke may develop, so make sure that the room is ventilated.
• Set the temperature dials to "0", switch off the cooking plate with the power dial and allow cooling down completely. The cooking plate is now ready for use.
• Keep the surface of the heating element (2) clean and dry.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Select a suitable position close to an electric socket, on a dry, flat, level, and heat-resistant surface.
• Make sure the temperature dial (4) is in the “0” position, and the power dial (1) is in the “OFF” position, before plugging in the power outlet.
• Plug into a 120 Volt A.C. wall outlet.
• For maximum heat efficiency, always use flat-bottomed cookware, which makes full contact with the cooking plates. Ideally, the pan's base should be of the same size as the cooking plate that it is placed on.

IMPORTANT! Do not place food directly on the heating plates!

- Place filled cookware on the burner. NOTE: DO NOT operate the burner without filled cookware on the burner.

- Turn the ON/OFF knob to the ON position by turning clockwise.

- Turn the Temperature Control Knob clockwise to the desired setting. NOTE: “5” is the highest setting. The indicator light (3) will illuminate at first, then blink on and off as the temperature is reached and regulated by the thermostat.

CAUTION! The metal surface will become hot! Do not touch while in use.

• After use, turn temperature dial back to "0", turn the power dial back to "OFF", and unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. Allow the unit to cool before moving or cleaning.
• Due to the cooking plate construction, residual heat will remain after switching off. This may be used to keep food warm for a short period. Be careful not to touch the heating elements until they have completely cooled down, at least for 1 hour.

HINTS AND TIPS

• Do not use with unstable pans or pans that do not have a flat bottom.
• Never switch the unit on without a pan being placed on the heating elements, as it may damage the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning, unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down completely.
• Wipe with a damp cloth. Dry after cleaning.
• To clean the ceramic glass surface, use a ceramic glass cooktop cleaner. Cleaners adapted to this type of surface allow a deep-cleaning of the cooking plate, without risk of damage.
• Do not clean the housing with abrasive scouring pads or steel wool as this will damage the finish. Also, pieces can break off the pad and short electrical parts, creating the possibility of electric shock.
• Do not immerse in water or any other liquid.
• All servicing, other than cleaning, should be performed by an authorized service representative.
