When the appliance is switched on, as soon as a power level is selected, the electronic circuits
produce induced currents into the bottom of the pan or cooking plate which instantly transmits the
heat to the food.

3. Setting a zone in power level
a. Once the product is on press the Mode button until the display shows Po .
b. The P indicator light comes on, then use the +/- selection buttons to adjust the

c. The value flashes until the heating zone reaches the required power.
Your device can deliver a maximum total power of 3000W. Each zone can deliver this maximum
power when the second zone is off. If the 2 cooking zones are on, the sum of the powers of the 2
cooking zones cannot exceed 3000W. If you have turned on a zone with a certain power and want
to turn on the second zone on a power level that would exceed the total power of 3000W, the first
zone will go down automatically and the maximum power will always be the same.
Examples:
- Left zone off: maximum power on right zone = 3000W
- Right zone = 1500W; maximum power on left zone = 1500W
- Right zone = 2300W; maximum power on the left zone = 700W
- Left zone = 2500W; requested power on right zone = 2000W; left zone will go down to
1000W

COOKWARE
Only use cookware suitable for induction cooking.
• Container test
Place your cookware on the induction zone in the POWER mode. If the indicator light stays
lit, then the cookware is compatible. If the indicator light blinks constantly, then the cookware
is not compatible.
• Type of containers
▪ Enameled steel containers with or without non-stick coating.
▪ Stainless steel containers suitable for induction.
• Most of the ferromagnetic stainless-steel containers are suitable if they pass the
container test (saucepans, pot, pan, skillets).
• WARNING
Glass, ceramic or earthenware, aluminum (without special bottom), copper and certain non-
magnetic stainless-steel containers are incompatible with induction cooking. The selected
power level indicator will keep flashing to alert you.
• Recommended dimensions
On each of the cooking zones, you can use pots with a base diameter of 6-1/4” up to 11”. If
you use a larger container, it may not be able to fit between the front and rear top rails.
A POOR-QUALITY PAN WILL INEVITABLE AFFECT THE EFFICIENCY OF
YOUR INDUCTION COOKER

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• Avoid impacts on the vitroceramic glass cook top. The glass is very strong, but it is not
unbreakable.
• Avoid scraping cookware on the cook top, which could scratch the glass and wear off screen
printing on the surface.
• Do not use cookware with rough or uneven bases, which may scratch the vitroceramic glass.
• Place your cookware in the center of the hob for proper operation.
• Do not leave empty cookware on the cooking zone with the unit in operation, as this could cause
the cookware to overheat and warp.
• Do not heat an unopened can of food as it may burst.
• If using very little liquid in cookware with a non-stick coating, such as Teflon, do not preheat on
very high power.
• The maximum power level should only be used for boiling and frying.
• Metal objects, such as cutlery, cooking utensils or even jewelry should not be placed on the
operating appliance as they can get very hot, very quickly.
• Physical damage, misuse or abuses to the appliance are not covered under the warranty.
• Do not leave or store your device unprotected outdoors without adequate protection, as it may
damage the electronic system or other parts of the device.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power cord and allow the appliance to cool
before cleaning.
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine. The metal filter, located
under your appliance, protects yourappliance from dust and grease, and should be cleaned after each
use. It can be cleaned in a sink using soap and water, or put into the dishwasher. The filter must be
completely dry before reinstalling into the unit. Use a cloth or sponge dampened slightly with a soap
and water mixture to clean all exterior stainless-steel surfaces and glass. Use a clean lint-free cloth to
remove the excess water. Make sure no water entersthe unit through ventilation holes. A glass scraper
can be used on the cook top for stubborn stains. Glass cook top cleaner is also widely available, and
can be used on the glass to aid in cleaning.
DO NOT use an abrasive sponge
DO NOT wash the induction machine under running water
DO NOT spray the exterior housing with any liquid
DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or onto electrical components

CARE AND MAINTENANCE - CONTINUED
• Cleaning your cast iron accessories
Cleaning your cast iron grill or plancha accessories is essential to ensure their
efficiency and durability. Cleaning the cast iron preserves the quality of the food as
well as the performance of your appliance.
o Cold cleaning cast iron accessories
▪ Check that the attachment is completely cool for safe handling.
▪ Remove the cast iron accessory from the unit for easier cleaning.
▪ Use a standard cleaner and a non-abrasive sponge.
o Hot cleaning cast iron accessories
▪ Carefully clean during or directly after cooking.
▪ Cleaning is easier because the food has not yet adhered completely to
the cast iron.
• 2 METHODS:
o Scrape with a spatula in between cooking batches and
properly dispose of food residue.
o If you prefer to clean your accessory at the end of use, then
remove the cast iron accessory from the unit with a
potholder, use white vinegar which will loosen overcooked
foods instantly and effortlessly. Scrape residue with a
spatula to remove and dispose of properly.
To prevent rust from appearing: rub oil on your cast iron plate with a cloth or paper towel to
cover the surface with a thin protective layer. Store it in a dry place in its original packaging or
covered with cling film. Regular cleaning will extend the life of your accessory.
In case of rust: Pour a thin layer of oil on the surface and place your accessory on your
induction appliance. Turn on the heating zone in grill / plancha mode at a low setting. Then use
a spatula to remove excess rust.
Use non-abrasive utensils (spatula) to avoid damaging the cast iron.
Cast iron is a heat conductive material! Do not handle a hot plate with bare
hands; use a potholder.
Cast iron is sensitive to thermal shock. Never pour cold water on your cast iron
plate, as it may crack.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE - CONTINUED
You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all are in proper working order. If a part is
damaged, have the unit repaired by the manufacturer prior to returning the unit to operation. If you need
any further assistance, please email us at [email protected], or call us at 1-800-649-7885 ext. 240.
