IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be taken, including
the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow surface to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
3. Use unit only on a level surface.
4. Use only with induction-compatible
cookware.
5. Dry outside of pan before use.
6. Do not heat empty pan.
7. Don’t spill any liquids into vent areas.
8. To protect against electrical shock, do not
immerse cord, plugs or housing unit in
water or other liquids.
9. This appliance should not be used by
or near children or individuals with certain
disabilities.
10. Do not leave appliance unattended when
it is on.
11. Do not touch hot surfaces.
12. Do not cook on a broken cooktop – If
cooktop should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock.
13. Clean cooktop with caution – If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
14. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug, after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Call Cuisinart consumer
service center (see Warranty) to return for
examination, repair or adjustment.
15. A short power-supply cord is supplied to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
16. Extension cords are available and may be
used if care is exercised in their use. The
marked electrical rating of the extension
cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
17. The cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
18. The use of accessory attachments
not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
19. Do not use outdoors or while standing
in a damp area.
20. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
21. Extreme caution must be used when
moving any pot or pan containing hot oil
or other hot liquids from this appliance.
22. When using this appliance provide at least
4–6 inches of air space above and on all
sides for air circulation.
23. Do not use this appliance for anything
other than its intended use. This appliance
is for household use only.
24. To disconnect, turn the unit off, then
remove plug from wall outlet.
25. Do not operate your appliance in
an appliance garage or under a wall
cabinet.When storing in an appliance
garage, always unplug the unit from
the electrical outlet. Not doing so
could create a risk of re, especially if the
appliance touches the walls of the garage
or the door touches the unit as it closes.
26. Do not place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons, lids, cans and
aluminum foil on the top plate.
27. Keep items with a magnetic eld
away from unit. Items such as radios,
televisions, automatic banking cards and
cassette tapes can affect the unit.
28. This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the

2 3
appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
29. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
30. Appliances are not intended to be
operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
31. Metallic objects such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on
the hotplate since they can get hot.

HOW INDUCTION
COOKING WORKS
Induction cooking uses electromagnetism to
transfer energy into the bottom of your cookware.
The surface of the cooktop does not work the
same way as conventional cooktops – it sends
the energy directly to the cookware. As long as
the energy is transferring into the cookware,
the cookware will stay hot. Once the energy is
stopped, removed or reduced, the cookware
begins to cool instantly.
SELECTING COOKWARE
FOR INDUCTION
COOKTOPS
Use only induction-ready
cookware
Selecting the proper induction-ready cookware is
very important to the efciency of your induction
cooktop. As a general rule, copper, aluminum and
glassware will not work on an induction cooktop.
Cuisinart highly recommends using magnetic
stainless steel, enamel, porcelain on steel, or
cast iron. If you are not careful in your selection
of cookware for your cooktop, the cookware
may not work efciently or possibly may cause
damage to the electronics. As a general rule, if
a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware,
it will work on an induction cooktop. If a magnet
does not stick to the cookware, it will not work on
an induction cooktop. If you are unsure, it is best
to check with your local merchant to make sure
you are purchasing compatible cookware.
Note: Not for use with pans with the diameter of
the bottom smaller than 12cm and the diameter of
the bottom larger than 18cm.

USING YOUR
INDUCTION COOKTOP
Operation
Once the unit is plugged into an electrical outlet,
the display shows "L" or "H". "L" means the cook-
ing surface is lower than 50°C, and "H" means
the cooking surface is higher than 50°C.
Place your induction-ready cookware on the
glass top and press ON/OFF, the unit is in stand-
by mode, and indicator light labeled HEAT will
illuminate. Then press the button labeled HEAT
and the cooktop will automatically turn to LEVEL
4 setting. Press up arrow or down arrow to
adjust the heat level to your desired setting.
Cookware detection: Unit will beep and auto-
matically turn off after 15 seconds if cookware is
not compatible.
If the unit is turned on and no cookware is put on
the cooking surface, the unit will beep and turn
off after 15 seconds.
If you remove the cookware from the cooking sur-
face during the operation mode, the unit will beep
and will automatically turn off after 15 seconds .
Heat Settings
The cooktop has eight heat settings, from Low
(1) to High (8). To operate the heat control, press
the button labeled HEAT on the left-hand side.
(Indicator light labeled HEAT will illuminate.) To in-
crease heat, press the up arrow to the desired
setting. Press down arrow to lower the setting.
The screen will indicate the current setting.
Timer Function
To operate the timer, press the button labeled
TIMER on the left-hand side. (Indicator light la-
beled TIMER will illuminate.) Press up arrow or
down arrow repeatedly to set the timer to your
desired cooking time. If you press and hold the
up or down arrow, the timer will advance rapidly.
The timer can be adjusted to a maximum time of
180 minutes. At the end of the timed cycle, the
timer will beep one time and the heater will be off.
NOTE: Your induction cooktop runs for up to 180
minutes at a time. If you need to cook for more than
180 minutes, simply turn the cooktop on again.
When the unit is off, the fan stops running.
NOTE: The cooking surface will be hot after
use, and care should be taken when adding
on or removing cooking utensils from the
cooktop to avoid burns.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
Because it does not generate its own heat,
the induction cooktop has no grates or carbon
buildup to clean. Since you don’t have scorching
heat going up the sides of your cookware, the
cookware stays cleaner longer.
Unplug unit. Use a damp cloth with mild soap
on the control panel, and for the cooktop, use a
non abrasive cooktop cleaning product (speci-
cally made for smooth tops and available in most
grocery stores). Any other servicing should be per-
formed by an authorized service representative.
