INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this 1800-watt Portable Induction Cooktop! This cooktop heats
food and water faster and more efficiently than conventional gas or electric stoves. It heats
using a magnetic field, rather than radiated heat. Because it uses a magnetic field for
cooking, it requires the use of ferrous-based cookware, such as steel, cast iron, enameled
iron, or stainless steel. A magnet is included for testing the suitability of cookware. As long
as the magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with this cooktop.
Additionally, any pots or pans used with this cooktop must have a flat bottom and
measure between 4.7" ~ 10.2" (12 ~ 26 cm) in diameter. It has eight power levels, from 200 ~
1800 watts, and eight temperature levels, from 140 ~ 460°F. It also includes a variable timer,
adjustable from 0 minutes to 4 hours in 1 minute increments.
