SELECTING THE PROPER COOKWARE
Your induction cooktop will not operate without the proper cookware. Size, shape, and construction
are all factors for suitable cookware.
1. Suitable Cookware: the base of the cookware must be made of ferrous magnetic materials
including cast iron, carbon steel, magnetic stainless steel or cast aluminum with an induction
rated base.
2. Unsuitable Cookware: will cause an E0 error and the cooktop will not operate.
3. In general, if a magnet will stick to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on your induction
cooktop. A magnet is included for you to use to test your cookware.
4. If proper cookware is not available we offer an Induction Interface Disk (#6010) that will provide
the necessary connectivity between the induction cooktop and your non-suitable cookware. It is
normal for reduced efficiency when using the Interface Disk.
NOTE: Different types of cookware and sizes will result in varying wattage/heat efficiency. For maximum
efficiency, do not use cookware with a base larger than 14” or a combined weight over 60 lbs.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
If the unit doesn’t operate as intended, please see the Troubleshooting Guide.
Start-Up
1. Select cookware according to the instructions above.
2. Place the unit on a dry, level surface at least 4 inches away from other objects to allow proper

Controls
All operations are easily controlled using the touchpad and PUSH TO SET CONTROL KNOB. The
control knob will increase or decrease your selection by turning the knob. Once a desired setting is
reached, push the knob to select it.
POWER LEVEL/TIMER MODE (10-watt settings)
This is the default mode. Use this mode for quick heat-up and where close temperature control is not
a requirement. The higher the Power Level, the more wattage applied to the cookware and increased
heating rate. Cookware will respond differently depending on type and size.
1. Touch the POWER LEVEL/TIMER symbol to select this mode. The default PL-1 will flash in the
LCD window. Use the CONTROL KNOB to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counter-clockwise)
the power as needed. Push the KNOB to lock in the setting.
2. Next the TIMER symbol will flash in the LCD window. You will then be able to set the timer from
1-180 minutes. For safety only 180-minutes is available. If 0 is selected or nothing is selected
within a few seconds, the timer function will not be used.
3. Your cooktop will follow the power level and time settings you selected and turn off when
finished. You can change the settings at any time by pressing the CONTROL KNOB and repeat
these steps.

TEMPERATURE PROBE MODE FOR PRECISE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
When precise temperature control is needed, use the wireless TEMPERATURE PROBE. This feature
may be used with the TEMP LEVEL or PROGRAM COOKING modes only. Selected temperature will be
closely maintained.
1. Clip the PROBE to the inside of the pan so that it is submerged in the pan contents or insert it
into the meat you are cooking. It should not touch the bottom of the pan.
2. Press the ON/OFF button on the PROBE. A red LED on the probe will light up periodically to show
it is active and a temperature probe icon will show in the LCD display during operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE & CUSTOMER SERVICE
If after reviewing the troubleshooting guide the problem is not resolved, do not attempt to repair.
Contact your dealer or call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-227-0196 for additional
information.
1. The Power Indicator light does not illuminate and/or the exhaust fan is not running.
• The power plug may be loose in the electrical outlet or there might be a 120V power
supply fault. Reset the circuit breaker and retry.
• E3 error code means the 120V input power supply is receiving voltage that is too high or
too low and shuts down after one minute. Unplug from the power receptacle and use a
voltage sensor to verify that the voltage is at least 110V AC and not more than 120V AC. If
not, switch electrical outlets or correct before operating the unit.
• The fuse or circuit breaker has malfunctioned or the unit is unplugged.
2. The fan is not running and the cookware is not heating up. E0 or E2 error code may be displayed.
• The cookware may be unsuitable and it is preventing operation (see Selecting the Proper
Cookware). If no cookware is present an E0 code will show.
• The cookware needs to be centered on the glass plate
• The glass plate may be cracked
3. The induction cooktop suddenly stops heating during operation and shuts down. E1 or E2 error
code may be displayed.
• The overheating sensor detected an excessive high glass top temperature and caused it to
automatically shut down. Heating empty cookware may cause this. Remove cookware and
let everything cool down and retry.
• The air inlet or exhaust fan is blocked or failed and caused it to overheat. Make sure the
unit is at least 4” from walls and other objects and all vents are clear.
4. The TEMPERATURE PROBE is not accurately keeping to the set temperature.
• Verify the Temperature Mode is selected.
• Follow the instructions in the Temperature Probe Section above to turn it back on.
