Safety Protections
•Over voltage protection and low voltage protection
When power voltage is too high or low, the induction cooker will compensate voltage
automatically and adjust output power.
•Insufficient contact protection
If the ase of the cooking pan is too small, no power will e output to avoid a normal
heating.
•No pan or improper pan protection
When no cooking utensil is placed on the hotplate or the utensil is not centered adequately,
the power will not output and a warning tone will sound.
•Over temperature protection
When the temperature of the hotplate is too high, the induction cook will automatically stop
power output and a warning tone will sound until the temperature returns to a normal level.
•High voltage surge protection
During operation, when the power supply receives a transient high voltage pulse (such as a
lightning strike), the induction cooker will shut off, then resume operations a minute later.
Care and Maintenance
•Please unplug from power outlet efore doing any care or maintenance works.
•If the ceramic hotplate is dirty, wipe it down with a damp cloth.
•Wipe the unit ody and control panel with a soft damp cloth.
