Control Features
The range will not operate without an appropriate pan or vessel in place on the
cooktop. After a few seconds, the display will flash ‘00’ indicating that no pan is
present. If the pan is removed during cooking, the unit will turn off after about 40
seconds and the display will show ‘00’. Resume cooking by placing the pan on
the cooktop and pressing the ‘Start/Stop’ button.
If the temperature of the cooktop reaches 260oC or 500o F, the unit turns off
automatically and displays an error code. This can happen if a pan is empty or is
allowed to boil dry. Allow the unit to cool off. Restart by pressing power on/off
button
If the voltage or current in the device is abnormal it will shut itself off and display
an error code.
Small objects such as a knife or spoon will not be ‘seen’ as a valid pan by the
range and it will not operate, however, do not place items other than induction
cookware on the range surface.

Operating Instructions
1. Plug the unit in to the appropriate power outlet. The display will show four red dots
when voltage is present.
2. Press the red power on/off button. The display will show ‘00’ and the unit is now in the
ready state.
3. Place an appropriate pan on the glass cooktop, centering it on the target.
4. Press the Power Up ‘Start/Stop’ button. The display will show ‘5’or ‘6’, and the fan will
start. The range is now warming or cooking at the displayed power level.
5. Rotate the knob to the right to increase the power setting.
6. Rotate the knob to the left to decrease the power level.
7. Warming Units:
(NBKW-A, NBKW11-A): The power will adjust from H1 to H7. See chart for
approximate holding temperatures.
Cooking units:
NBK118-A, the power will adjust from H1 to H7 and 1 to 10.
NBK26-A, the power will adjust from H1 to H7 and 1 to 10.
NBK35-A, the power will adjust from H1 to H7 and 1 to 10.

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.
For cooking units (NBK118-A, NBK26-A, NBK35-A you can use the following as a starting
guide:
1. Stir Fry: Quickly stir fry on high heat settings of 8 to 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 2. Results will vary
depending on the volume of food being held.
6. Chocolate Melting: Use setting 1.
For Warming units (NBKW11-A, NBKW-A), the following chart shows an approximate
temperature guide. Results will vary depending on the type of pan, and the type and volume of
food being held.

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’.
Turn the knob to adjust the number of minutes. Turning the knob to the left will
reduce the number of minutes. If you turn the knob to the right past 719, the
display will go to ’00.59’ or 59 seconds. Keep turning to the right to increase the
minutes.
If you want to set seconds, for instance 3 minutes and 30 seconds, turn the knob
until the display shows ‘03.59’ minutes. Then press the ‘MIN/SEC’ button again.
The ‘seconds’ field will flash. Use the knob 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 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.
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!!
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 ‘00’ the pan is not compatible with induction cooking.

Installation Guide
Always ensure that the glass surface of the range is mounted FLUSH with the counter top. The exposed
edge of the glass is fragile and can be easily chipped or broken by side impact.
If flush mounting is not feasible, you can purchase the optional Stainless Steel Trim Ring this allows you
make a simple cut-out in the counter top, and the Trim Ring supports the unit and protects the glass
edge from damage.
With either mounting method, seal around the unit (and Trim Ring) with silicone caulking to keep liquids
from penetrating and getting below the surface.
If the units are mounted in a closed cabinet, you must ensure that there is adequate air flow for the
units. Each unit draws in cooling air from the back, and exhausts warm air from the front. In a closed
cabinet you must provide adequate openings for both the intake and the exhaust air.
Drawing for the control panel cut-out.
