SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the compatible cookware. Read the following
information in this section carefully to get the maximum efficiency from your cooking unit. The rule
of thumb for selecting cookware is, if a magnet sticks to the cookware bottom, the cookware will
work on your duxtop®induction cooktop.
The bottom surface of the cookware must
• Be made of a ferrous magnetic material. If the cookware bottom is made of material with low
ferrous magnetic content the “E0” error code may display, indicating cookware is not suited for
induction cooking.
• Have a flat bottom surface with a minimum bottom diameter of 5". The diameter and thickness
of the cookware's magnetic layer needs to be large enough to catch the magnetic wave, otherwise
the cooktop may not operate (displays "E0" error code).
• Touch the cooktop or rise no more than 1" above it.
SUITABLE COOKWARE MATERIAL
• cast iron;
• iron;
• magnetic steel;
• enameled iron,
• stainless steel manufactured with a magnetic bottom
DO NOT use cookware made out of:
• Glass
• Ceramic
• Copper
• Aluminum
• Non-magnetic stainless steel (18/10, 18/8) bottom

• Place the unit on a dry, stable, level and non-combustible, non-metallic surface.
• Allow at least 4 inches of space around the whole cooktop unit for proper ventilation.
• Plug the POWER CORD into a 120V/15 amp electrical socket. The unit will “Beep” and the
POWER INDICATOR light will illuminate red.
• Before turning the cooktop on, make sure the ingredients are in the compatible cookware and the
cookware is centered on COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE.
• Once the cooktop is plugged in, starting the cooking process is a simple two-step process.
Press the "ON/OFF" button, the cooktop will cycle “ON”, the COOL AIR FAN will start and the LCD
display screen will light showing a series of dashes. Press the “MENU” button, the cooktop will
activate at the default power setting of 5.0.
• After cooking is completed, press the "ON/OFF" button to turn the unit off. The LCD screen will
turn off, however “HOT” will display and the COOL AIR FAN will continue to run until the unit has
cooled.
• If the cooktop unit does not operate as intended, see the Troubleshooting Guide section in this
manual.
Operation Modes
This unit offers both Power and Temperature Modes for convenient and efficient cooking along with
an automatic 10-hour timer:
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER MODE OPERATION
The Power and Temperature Mode functions
work independently of each other. The power
level selected directly relates to the amount
of wattage, or the BTU/HR equivalent, the
cooktop generates. To increase the cooking
speed, select a higher power level.
The default power level setting is 5.0. Press the +
or – buttons to adjust power levels from 0.5 to 10.
If the "E2" error code is displayed during
cooking, the cookware bottom has exceeded
460 degrees F, switch to Temperature Mode at
this time.
TEMPERATURE MODE OPERATION
The Temperature Mode should be used when
a specific cooking temperature is required.
Once the cookware has reached the selected
temperature, the unit will cycle to maintain the
selected cooking temperature.
The default temperature level setting is 300
degrees F. Press the + or – buttons to adjust the
temperature setting. Use the Temperature Mode
when specific temperatures must be maintained.
This mode has 20 temperature settings ranging
from 100 degrees F-460 degrees F (37.8
°C -
238 °C ).

Additional Preset Function Buttons:
• LOCK - The “LOCK” button allows you to lock-out all the other buttons and is a convenience
and safety feature. It is designed to keep the cooking and timer settings from being accidentally
changed once they have been set. The “LOCK” features DOES NOT lock the ON/OFF button, so
the cooktop can always be shut off if needed.
• BOIL - If you press the “BOIL” button the unit will switch to POWER MODE level 10 and the
timer will automatically set to 10 minutes. When the timer has expired, the unit will “beep” and
the cooktop will turn off. If the volume of water has not reached a full boil, please restart the BOIL
function.
• KEEP WARM - If you press the “KEEP WARM” button, the unit will switch to TEMPERATURE
MODE at 140 degrees F with the timer set for 30 minutes.

POWER MODE vs. TEMPERATURE MODE
Switching between Power Mode and Temperature Mode is accomplished by pressing the “MENU”
button.
If a specific cooking temperature is not required, we suggest using Power mode instead of
Temperature mode. To quickly bring a pot of water to boil, use a higher power level setting or
simply press the “BOIL” button. For frying or browning food, Temperature mode is preferred
because the built-in microprocessor monitors and regulates the cookware temperature to the preset
temperature. Frying or browning food under Power mode may overheat the cookware, and in
some cases, extremely high temperatures may damage your cookware or cooktop. The duxtop(c)
induction cooktop has a built-in safety mechanism to detect such situations and the unit can switch
to Temperature mode from Power mode automatically when overheating is detected. When this
happens it is an indication that Temperature mode may be more suitable for your current cooking
task.
Limitations of Temperature Mode:
Like all other cooktops with a glass cooktop, the temperature sensor is located underneath
the glass top. As a result of that, and that different cookware yields different temperatures, the
temperature readout is only an estimate of the actual cooking temperature. It is accurate enough for
daily cooking requirements. The temperature in your pan may be different than the setting you have
selected. Please test a few times to find the proper temperature setting for your particular cooking
task and cookware.
10-HOUR AUTOMATIC TIMER
The automatic timer may be used with either the Temperature or Power mode. Press the “TIMER”
button to activate the timer. The TIMER portion of the LCD display will activate and 0:00 will appear
in the LCD READOUT DISPLAY. The :00 minutes portion of the readout will be blinking, indicating
the minutes can be set. Press the + or – button until the desired number of minutes appears. Wait
5 seconds and the 0: hours side of the readout will begin to blink. This indicates you may now set
the number of hours for the timer. Press the + or – key to set the number of hours. 5 seconds after
you have set the hours portion of the timer, the numbers will stop blinking and timing will start. If
you do not enter an amount of time into the AUTOMATIC TIMER within 10 seconds the feature will
shut off and the timer will not be set.
The + and – buttons can be “tapped” to increase or decrease the minutes/hours by 1 minute/1 hour
increments or they can be held down for rapid increase or decrease of time, as necessary.
The timer may be reset at any time during operation by pressing the “TIMER” button again. When
the timer has expired, the unit will "beep" and the cooktop will turn off.
This unit will shut down automatically in 120 minutes if no button or key is pressed. This is a
feature in compliance with safety regulations.
NOTE: The cooktop unit will automatically shut off and "beep" after 1 minute, if either:
• the wrong type of cookware is put on the cooktop
• no cookware is placed on the unit ("E0" will flash on the LCD screen) or
• the unit is turned on and the “MENU” button is not pressed

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE
If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself. Please contact us at [email protected] for assistance.
PROBLEM- After plugging in the power cord, the POWERINDICATOR LlGHT does not illuminate
red:
• The plug may be loose in the electrical outlet or
• The circuit breaker may be inoperative or tripped
PROBLEM - The POWER INDICATOR LIGHT is lit, but the fan is not running, nor is the cookware
heating up:
• Press the “MENU” button
• The wrong type of cookware (non-magnetic) is being used
• The pan is not centered on the COOKTOP ALIGNMENT GUIDE correctly
• The COOKTOP SURFACE may be cracked
PROBLEM -The induction cooktop suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down:
• The cooktop unit shuts down due to the overheating sensor detecting an excessively high
surface temperature. The cause may be heating empty cookware or cooking at a high power
setting for too long
•A blocked COOL AIR INLET & FAN or WARM AIR OUTLET caused the cooktop to overheat;
• The unit was unplugged while in use
• The fuse or circuit breaker tripped during use (Do not plug other appliances into the same circuit
while using the cooktop)
PROBLEM - The Induction cooktop switches from Power mode to Temperature mode
automatically:
• This is a safety feature. The unit switches to Temperature mode (140 degrees F) when the
cookware is overheated under Power mode. This is most likely to occur when you are frying or
sautéing food. These cooking methods involve high heat and need a regulated temperature within
a certain range. If the temperature istoo low, it may not cookyourfood properly, if the temperature
is too high, it may burn your food. Once in Temperature mode you can adjust the temperature to
the appropriate setting that fits your cooking task. For information about when to use Power mode
or Temperature mode, please refer to POWER MODE VS. TEMPERATURE MODE section in this
manual.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What are Induction cooktop advantages?
To serious cooks, the most important advantage of induction cooktops is that you can adjust the
cooking heat instantly and with great precision. The induction cooktop uses a standard 110/120
volts of electrical power and plugs into a standard household electrical outlet. Because duxtop®
cooktops produce up to 1,800 watts of power, they are almost 50% more powerful than gas
stoves and heat up to temperature nearly twice as fast as electric cooking elements, yet they do
not require the high amperage of 220-volt power not commonly found in household kitchens.
Is induction cooking more efficient than gas?
With an 83% energy efficiency, induction cooking is more efficient than both electric or gas. While
gas burning cooktops are only 30-35% efficient and cost approximately $1.65 per hour to operate,
an induction cooktop costs only $0.12 per hour to operate.
How safe is induction cooking?
Because there is no open flame or hot cooking element, the induction cooktop creates heat
only in the cookware. The cooktop surface remains cool except for the heat transferred from the
bottom of the cookware to the glass surface (immediately below the cookware).
What are the electrical power requirements?
Single burner induction units designed for the U.S. market are all capable of operating efficiently
on a standard 110/120-volt outlet. It is strongly recommended to dedicate an outlet for each
individual unit when being used since each unit will draw about 15 amps, the amperage of most
common household electrical outlets.
What type of cookware can I use?
The general rule of thumb is, if a magnet sticks to it, it will work with the duxtop®cooktop.
Cookware made from cast iron, iron, enameled steel or iron, or magnetic stainless steel work very
well. duxtop®offers a large selection of Whole-clad Tri-ply Induction Ready Premium Cookware™.
How is induction cooking different than electric cooking ?
Induction units place the electrical energy directly into the cookware without using energy towards
a heating element. Regular electric cooking elements use energy to heat the heating element
and then through conduction, the heat is transferred to the cooking pan.
Induction cooking heating is very fast and responsive to temperature control changes making
them even faster and more efficient than gas cooking. Resistance-type heating elements are very
inefficient and are slow to respond.
Is it easy to use?
The rapid heating of the cookware makes all kinds of cooking fast and easy, especially when
warming, sautéing, frying, and boiling pasta. Cleaning a duxtop®induction cooktop unit is easy.
With no open flame or heating element, food does not burn-on so you can just wipe the cooktop
surface clean with a damp towel.
