Instruction Manual for Induction Cooktop
MODEL: IDSF608

Working Principle
Product Introduction
2
The induction cooktop is mainly composed of an induced heating coil,
hotplate made of ferromagnetic materials and control system. In principle,
current generates a powerful magnetic field via the coil. Large numbers
of vortexes are produced in the way that the magnetic lines in the field
contact the bottom containing iron or stainless steel substances. The
tremendous energy generated by the vortexes can heat the food directly
by converting efficiency heat energy penetrating through the bottom.
The induction cooktop can meet various of cuisine demands by
electromagnetic heating, with micro-computerized control and multi-
functions, really the optimal choice for modern families.
The induction cooktop centers on customers and adopts personalized
design. Made of imported materials and through advanced process, the
unit has safe and reliable performances, making your life comfortable
and enabling you to fully enjoy the pleasures of life.

We have designed this cooktop for private use in home.
With a view to constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make
any changes to their technical, program or aesthetic features connected with
their technical evolution.
Over- Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the hotplate.

automatically.
Detection of Small Articles
When the pot is less than 80 mm in diameter or small articles (knife, fork, forceps,
key, etc.) exist or non-magnetic pots (such as aluminum pot) are found, the buzzer
can gives out an alarm lasting about 1 minute. In case the user has not put a proper
pot in time, the induction cooktop can enter the sate of standby automatically.
Heat Indication
When the cooktop is used for a long time, waste heat remains in the heating zone
in a few minutes. The code “H” appears, warning to be away from the heating zone.

Installation
Selection of installation equipment
Drill holes on the table surface according to the sizes shown in the
drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 50 mm
space shall be preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the table surface is at least 30mm. Please
select heat-resistant table material to avoid larger deformation caused
by the heat radiation from the hotplate.

You may have multiple appliances suitable for heating.
This induction hotplate is able to identify multiple heating appliances, and you
can test them according to one of the following methods:
Place the appliance in the heating zone. If the corresponding heating zone
displays a power level, it shows the suitability of the appliance; if “U” flashes, it
shows the appliance does not fit in the induction cooking.
Have a magnet to contact the appliance. If there is attraction between them, it
shows the appliance also fits in the induction cooking.
Requirement for pot material: the bottom contains materials of magnetic
conductivity.
Requirement for shape: flat bottom, more than 12 cm in diameter.

After being used for a long
time, the corresponding
heating zone of the induction
cooktop is till hot. Never touch
the ceramic surface to avoid
burning.
We suggest that you should
periodically check that there
are no object (glass, paper,
etc) that could obstruct the
inlet under your induction
cooktop

of reach from children or
inform person. Do not let them
use the appliances without
supervision.
If the supply cord is damaged ,
it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in
order to avoid a hazard.
Clean the induction cooktop
on a regular basis to prevent
foreign matters from entering
the fan thus influencing the
normal operation.
Do not put any detergents or
flammable materials in the
equipment installed under the
induction cooktop.
For sealed food such as
canned goods, please do not
heat them before opening their
covers so as to avoid any
dangers of explosion due to
heating expansion.
Never have the induction
cooktop to work without food
inside, otherwise its
operational performance may
be affected and danger may
happen.
Do not place rough or uneven
appliances, which may
damage the ceramic surface.
If the surface is cracked, swith
off the appliance to avoid the
possibility of electric shock.
Metallic objects such as
knives, forks,spoons and lids
should not be placed on the
hotplate since they can get
hot.
