IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your hOme™Induction Cooktop (appliance), basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of re, electrical shock, and/or injury to persons. Incorrect operation
due to ignoring instructions may cause harm or damage.
• Read all instructions.
• Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or wear gloves.
• Do not cook when the appliance is broken or otherwise malfunctioning. When the surface
of the cooktop breaks, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the cooktop and create a
risk of electric shock.
• If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on the hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.
• Do not clean your Induction Cooktop with ammable uids. The fumes can create a re
hazard or explosion.
• Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the appliance since they
can get hot.
• The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is accessible.
• The appliance must be placed on a at, rm and dry surface. Never move the appliance
when it is in use.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Do not run the power cord over carpeting or other heat insulators. Do not cover the cord.
Keep the cord away from trafc areas, and do not submerge in water or any other liquid.
• We do not recommend the use of an extension cord as it may overheat and cause a risk of
re.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a
similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
• Disconnect the mains plug from the socket when not in use for a long time.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning or making any repairs or servicing.
• Never unplug your appliance by pulling on the power cord. Always grasp the plug rmly and
pull straight out from the outlet.
• Do not use your appliance outdoors.
WARNING:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Unit
includes Child Lock feature, for more information refer to page 16 in manual.
• This appliance is intended to be used in household only.
• To avoid the appliance falling or tipping over, always place on a at and sturdy surface.
Damage may occur if the appliance falls.

7
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or table top where it could be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
Suitable and unsuitable pots and containers
It’s necessary to use suitable pots and containers on the cooktop. You can test with a magnet:
If the magnet attracts the base of the pot, it is suitable for induction cooking. Refer to the
following description for suitable pots and containers:
The suitable cookware is required to contain magnetic induction material. Other cookware can
not guarantee the best results and performance.
You can use cookware with a diameter between 14.5 and 18 cm.
Safety protection
- Over-heating protection. If the temperature inside the Induction Cooktop is too high, the
appliance will stop working.
- Current or voltage abnormality protection. If the voltage is abnormal or the current changes
abruptly, the Induction cooktop will stop working. Once the issues are solved, the Induction
cooktop will work again normally.
- Container detection system. If the pot is moved during cooking, the appliance will stop
heating immediately. In about 10 seconds it will automatically return to Power on mode.
- Automatic shutdown protection. When the time selected is reached, the Induction cooktop
will shut off automatically until the user activates the timer again.
- Child lock (10). This function locks all the control panel operations except the Power on button
for quick cleaning. This protects children from potential risks.
