Power Settings/Cooking Guide
The ‘Best’ Power Settings will vary depending on the range model number, the type and
shape of the pan being used, as well as the type and quantity of food being cooked or
held. Until you get a ‘feel’ for the unit, you should start at medium settings of 5 or 6 and
adjust up or down from there to get the performance you want.
You can use the following as a starting guide:
1. Stir Fry: Quickly stir fry on high heat settings of 8, 9 or 10.
2. Boil Water: Boil water on high heat settings of 9 or 10, then reduce to level 5 or 6 to
maintain a hard boil. Reduce to 3 or 4 for a slow boil.
3. Pan Fry: Pan fry on medium to high heat settings of 5 to 10.
4. Sauté/Simmer: Use medium to low settings 3 to 5.
5. Warming: Hold food at serving temperatures using setting H1 thru H7.Results will
vary depending on the volume of food being held.
6. Chocolate Melting: Use setting H1.
The Holding or warming settings H1 thru H7 approximate the following temperatures . Results
will vary depending on the type of pan, the type and volume of food being held, and the model
number of the range being used.

Temperature Control Mode
If you purchased the optional Temperature Probe, you can use this unit in Temperature
Control Mode.
1. Plug the temperature probe into the jack on the back of the unit. Tighten the
screw-ring to secure the probe in the connector.
2. Place the probe in the pot. Make sure the probe is in the liquid, but not touching
the bottom of the pot.
3. With the unit in the Ready state, press the ‘MODE’ button. The display will show
‘000F’.
4. Press the ‘Start/Stop’ button. The unit will turn on, and the display will show
‘100F’.
5. Use the ‘ʌ’ up and ‘v’ down buttons to set the desired temperature in degrees
Fahrenheit.
6. The display will alternate between the actual temperature and your set point.
7. When the food temperature reaches the set point, the display will lock on the
actual temperature. The unit will cycle as necessary to maintain the set point
temperature.
8.
Timer Mode
The timer function allows you to set a timer from 1 second, up to 719 minutes. The
timer resets to 719 minutes every time the power is turned off/on. The timer always
runs in the background, so if the unit runs continuously for 12 hours (719 minutes), the
timer will run out and the unit will turn off. To reset, turn the power off/on, or
manually set the timer.
Setting the Timer
With the unit powered on and in the Ready state (display shows a steady ‘00’),
press the ‘TMR’ button. The display will show ‘0719’.
To change the timer setting, press the ‘MIN/SEC’ button. The display will flash
‘719’.
Use the ‘ʌ’ up and ‘v’ down buttons to adjust the number of minutes. Pressing
the ‘v’ button will reduce the number of minutes. If you press the ‘ʌ’ button past
719, the display will go to ’00.59’ or 59 seconds. Keep pressing the ‘ʌ’ button to
increase the minutes.

If you want to set seconds, for instance 3 minutes and 30 seconds, press the ‘ʌ’
button until the display shows ‘03.59’ minutes. Then press the ‘MIN/SEC’ button
again. The ‘seconds’ field will flash. Press the ‘v’ button to adjust the seconds to
30. The display will show ‘03.30’
When the time is set to what you want, press the ‘Start/Stop’ button. The power
will come on and the timer will count down. When the timer counts down to 0,
the unit will stop heating.
While the unit is heating, the display will alternate between the timer and the
power setting. You can always adjust the power setting using the ‘ʌ’ and ‘v’
buttons while the display is showing the power level.
If you press the TMR button while the unit is heating, the display will stop
alternating between the timer and the power level. The timer will continue to
run. Pressing the TMR button again will resume alternating the display.
While the unit is heating, the timer display decimal points will flash.
Once the timer counts down to zero, pressing the ‘Start/Stop’ button will restart
the cycle at the time that you set previously. Turning the unit off/on using the
‘Power’ Button will reset the timer to 719 minutes.
Cleaning the Induction Range
After the induction range has cooled down, clean as follows:
Glass Cooktop: Wipe with a damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
Stainless Steel Body: Clean with a damp soft cloth or a mild cleaning solution or stainless
cleaner/polish.
Control Panel: Wipe with a damp cloth only. Do not spray with cleaning solutions! Do not use
sharp or metal objects to press the buttons! Only press the buttons using your finger!!
Air Filter: Remove the air filter located underneath the unit by pulling it out from the front.
Wash/rinse by hand using warm water and detergent to remove oil/grease and dust.
Dry thoroughly and re-install the filter on the guides underneath the unit.
DO NOT USE SHARP OBJECTS OR ABRASIVES ON THE GLASS COOKTOP. SCRATCHES IN THE GLASS CAN
WEAKEN IT AND LEAD TO BREAKAGE!

Cookware Requirements
Cooking with any induction range requires the use of induction compatible pots/pans. In general this
means that the vessel must be magnetic. If a magnet sticks to it, it will probably be a good Induction
pan. Other things to consider are the size and shape of the pan. Pans should have a minimum bottom
diameter of 4.75 inches, and the bottom of the pan should be flat within about 1/8 of an inch. For best
results, the maximum bottom diameter of the pan should not exceed 10.25 inches.
Materials that will NOT work with induction ranges include glass, ceramics, earthenware, bronze,
copper, aluminum or 300 series stainless steel.
To test a pan to see if it is compatible, put it on the range, press the Start button and increase the power
level. If the display flashes ‘U’ the pan is not compatible with induction cooking.
