1. Safety Instructions
1.1 Risks of Negligence of Safety Information
This manual contains safety warnings and precautions on the installation, commissioning
and operation of the induction cooker. Negligence of such information may lead to harms to
people, environment and equipment, as well as potential risks as follows:
Electric shock;
Overheating of wok/pan; and
Overheating of cooker surface.
1.2 Safety Notes
The safety instructions contained in this manual, the applicable national regulations on the
prevention of accidents as well as user’s internal safety rules must be strictly observed.
1.3 Notice to User
To prevent electrical shocks, the installation and electrical connection of the induction
cooker must be performed by a qualified contractor as per national and local
regulations.
The heating zone has high temperature. To avoid injury (scalding), do not touch this
area.
To avoid dry heating (glowing) of wok/pan, don’t leave the appliance on unattended. For
the sake of safety, switch the power off.
To prevent accidents caused by automatic heating of wok/pan, switch off the cooker
before removing the wok/pan. Do not rely on the pan detector. This ensures that
anyone who wants to use the cooker must switch it on him/herself.
Don’t insert any piece of paper, cardboard, cloth, etc. between the wok/pan and the
heating area, as this may initiate a fire.
Do not place metallic objects such as kitchen utensils, cutlery, cans, aluminum foil and
keys on the hob surface within the cooking zone because such things can be heated up
quickly.

-3-
Do not wear watches and rings as these objects can be heated up when in close
proximity to the hob surface.
People with heart pacemakers should consult with the manufacturer or physician
before using the induction cooker.
The entire unit must be reliably grounded. Once the cooker body or electric cable is
found broken, immediately switch the unit off, disconnect the power and contact the
manufacturer or its authorized servicing personnel.
Do not place aluminum foil or plastic utensils on the glass-ceramic surface in the
heating zone nor use it as storage.
The contact surface of wok/pan must match that of the glass-ceramic panel; otherwise,
it may lead to reduced performance, malfunction and even damage to the induction
cooker. Therefore, only those woks/pans supplied or recommended by the
manufacturer can be used.
Don’t place credit cards, phone cards, passenger cards, cassette tapes or other
magnetic objects on the surface of the induction cooker.
There is air cooling system in the induction cooker. To avoid overheating induced
shutdown, do not block the air vents.
Do not let any liquid enter the cooker. Do not spill water or food over the wok/pan. Do
not flush the cooker with water. Do not clean the cooker with a steam cleaner.
In case the glass-ceramic panel breaks or cracks, immediately switch off the cooker
and disconnect the power. Never touch any exposed part inside the cooker.
Operation beyond the rated values and limits of the induction cooker will result in
unreliable operation and even damage. It is advised that the cooker operate at full
power, i.e. the power regulator is set to the maximum scale. Select between “3” and “5”
when slow fire is required.
Never turn the induction cooker on and off frequently without any purpose as this may
cause damage to the electrical circuit and shorten the service life of the cooker.
Normally, the cooker should not be restarted within 3 seconds after it is shut down.
The induction cooker should be cleaned, maintained and serviced on a regular basis to
keep it in good condition and extend its service life.
There is high voltage inside the cooker. It can only be opened by authorized servicing

-4-
personnel.
To avoid misuse, all discarded electrical devices must be disposed of safely and
properly by the user.
There is a small area at the bottom center of the wok/pan that heats slowly. To ensure
that oil is evenly heated, stir the oil in the wok/pan.
The glass-ceramic panel, enclosure, wok/pan, tub, pot and pot support of the induction
cooker are outside the warranty scope.
An all-pole disconnection switch having a contact separation of at least 3mm in all
poles should be connected in fixed wiring.
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.
Equipment for use in trades, professions, and which is not intended for sale to the
general public.
1.4 Unauthorized Change and Part Replacement

The inlet air temperature should not exceed 40℃;
The induction cooker should be away from other heat sources (such as gas cooker or
halogen stove). In case several induction cookers are used, they should be at least
100mm apart from each other. Besides, it should be ensured that there is sufficient
supply of cold air and the hot air discharged by cookers will not enter other cookers.
6.2 Fire Prevention
