ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
EXTENSION CORDS
A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or
extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
2) 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded while in use.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to
properly ground outlets only.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS – US ONLY
The appliance has a plug that looks like Figure A. An adaptor, as shown in Figure B, should
be used for connecting a 3-prong grounding plug to a 2-wire receptacle. The grounding
tab, which extends from the adaptor, must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded receptacle as shown in Figure C, using a metal screw.

OPERATION
Before first use
• Remove all packaging materials, labels and/or stickers from your single burner.
• Clean your single burner thoroughly before using for the first time ( Cleaning).
NOTE: Due to the manufacturing process, the single burner may emit a slight burning odor
when it is first activated. Use the single burner in a well-ventilated area, select the highest
setting (ill. f), and allow it to sit for a few minutes without any cooking utensils.
Operating instructions
Use the single burner for fast cooking, simmering, or warming.
Before plugging in your single burner, check that the electrical circuit is not overloaded
with other appliances. This appliance should always be operated on a separate 120 V
~60 Hz AC outlet.
• Place the single burner on a flat, even, and heat-resistant countertop surface.
• Be sure to leave at least 5 inches of space around the appliance for proper
ventilation (ill. a).
• Insert the plug (5) into the wall outlet. The power-on indicator light (8) will illuminate
immediately (ill. b).
• Turn the temperature control dial (7) clockwise from the off position to the desired
setting (from low to high) (ill. e).
• When using a pot or pan, place it in the center of the burner (1) (ill. c). Always use
a pot or pan the same size as the burner (ill. j). Do not use pots or pans that are

it is completely off. The power-on indicator light (8) will go off. This helps prevent
