SELECTING THE COMPATIBLE COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the compatible cookware. Read the following
information in this section carefully to get the maximum effi ciency 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 lower ferrous magnetic content, the "E0" error code•
may display, indicating the cookware is not suitable for the induction cooking.
Have a fl at bottom surface with a minimum bottom diameter of 5". The diameter and thickness of the •
cookware's magnetic layer to be large enough to catch the magnetic wave, otherwise the cooktop
can not operate(displays "E0" error code). This is a safety mechanism.
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)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setup
1. Place the unit on a dry, stable, level and non-combustible, non-metallic surface.
2. Allow at least 4 inches of space around all sides of unit for proper ventilation.
3. Plug the POWER CORD into a 120V/15 amp electrical outlet and the unit will "beep".
4. Before turning the unit on, make sure the ingredients are in the compatible cookware with the
cookware centered within the COOKWARE ALIGNMENT GUIDE on the COOKTOP SURFACE.
5. Turn on power by touching the ON/OFF button once. The COOL AIR FAN will turn on.
6. Touch the “FUNCTION” button, the cooktop will activate at the default power setting of 5.0. Touch
the "FUNCTION" button again to switch to Temperature Mode.
7. Touch the LOCK button to lock the control panel. When the control panel is locked, the only
button that functions is the ON/OFF button. Touch and hold the LOCK button again for 3 seconds
to unlock the control panel.
8. After cooking is completed, touch the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit. When turned off, the
COOLING FAN will continue to run and "Hot" will show on the LED DISPLAY until the unit has
fully cooled.
9. If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, see the Troubleshooting Guide.
NOTE: Cookware must be on the cooktop before touching the ON/OFF button.
Operation Modes
This unit offers both Temperature(Temp) and Power(Heating) Modes for convenient and effi cient •
cooking, along with a 170-minute automatic TIMER MODE.
The POWER and TEMPERATURE MODES work independently.•
Switch between each mode by touching the FUNCTION button.•
Both POWER and TEMPERATURE MODES have 15 settings. A description of each with a chart is•
shown on the following page.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE A DEDICATED OUTLET. This unit is designed to operate using a
120V electrical outlet having a 15 amp capacity. This is a high draw appliance and should not
share an outlet or circuit with any other electrical appliance.
POWER MODE V.S. TEMPERATURE MODE
If a specifi c 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. For
frying or browning food, Temperature Mode is preferred because the built-in micro process monitors
and regulates the cookware temperature to the preset temperature. Frying or browning food
using 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 Temp Mode from Power Mode
automatically when overheating is detected. When this happens it is an indication that Temp Mode
may be more suitable for your current cooking task.

Limitations of Temperature Mode
Like all other cooktop with a glass top, the temperature sensor is located underneath the glass
cooktop. As a result, 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 fi nd the proper temperature setting for your particular cooking
task and cookware.
INDUCTION COOKTOP
POWER MODE OPERATION
The power level selected relates directly to the
wattage, or the BTU/hr equivalent, the cooktop
generates. A higher setting will increase cooking
speed.
The default power setting is 5.0. Touch the "+"
or "-" button to adjust power level from 1.0 to 10.
If “E2” error code displays while in use, follow
the steps listed in the Error Code Guide under
Troubleshooting and use TEMPERATURE
MODE to continue cooking.
TEMPERATURE MODE OPERATION
TEMPERATURE MODE should be used when
a specific cooking temperature is required.
Once the cookware has reached the selected
temperature, the unit will automatically cycle to
maintain that cooking temperature.
The default temperature setting is 300°F. Touch
the "+" or "-" button to adjust the temperature
setting. Use the Temperature Mode when the
specifi c temperatures must be maintained. This

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE
If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide, the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to disassemble
or repair the unit yourself. Please contact us at [email protected] for assistance.
PROBLEM - After pressing the ON/OFF button, the POWER INDICATOR LIGHT does not
illuminate red and/or the exhaust fan does not run:
Plug may be loose in the electrical outlet.•
Circuit breaker may be inoperative or tripped.•
PROBLEM - The POWER INDICATOR LIGHT is lit, but the fan is not running and cookware is not
heating up:
Using the incompatible type of cookware (non-magnetic)•
Pan is not centered on the COOKTOP ALIGNMENT GUIDE•
The COOKTOP SURFACE may be cracked•
PROBLEM - The induction cooktop suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down:
Unit shuts down because the overheating sensor detected an excessive surface temperature•
caused by heating empty cookware
A blocked COOL AIR INLET & FAN or WARM AIR OUTLET caused cooktop to overheat•
Unit was unplugged while in use•
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°F) when the cookware is
overheated under Power Mode. This is most likely to happen when you are trying to fry or sauté
food. These cooking methods involve high heat and need a regulating temperature within a certain
range. If the temperature is too low, it may not cook your food properly. However 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 fi ts your cooking task.
For information about when to use Power Mode or Temperature Mode, please refer to POWER
MODE V.S. 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 1800 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 effi cient than gas?
With an 83% energy effi ciency, induction cooking is more effi cient than both electric or gas. While
gas burning cooktops are only 30-35% effi cient 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 fl ame or hot cooking element, the induction process produces heat only
within 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 household use in the U.S. market are all capable of
operating effi ciently 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 effi cient than gas cooking. Resistance-type heating elements are very
ineffi cient 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 fl ame or heating element, food does not burn-on so you can just wipe the cooktop
surface clean with a damp towel.
