HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
ABOUT INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking has been used for decades in restaurants and
commercial kitchens worldwide. Only now, has the induction revolution
been made available at an aordable cost for everyday household use.
How does induction work?
Induction cooking uses electromagnetic energy to heat cookware. When
cookware is placed on an induction cooktop and the cooker is turned
on, the coil inside the induction unit produces an alternating magnetic
eld, which ows through the cookware. Molecules in the cookware
vibrate rapidly, causing the cookware to become hot almost instantly.
What types of cookware can be used?
As explained above, induction cooking works by electromagnetic
energy. Induction Cooktops will operate with a variety of cookware
but must have a ferrous magnetic bottom such as cast iron, enameled
steel or magnetic stainless steel. The interior or cooking surface of the
cookware can be aluminum or other non-ferrous material with or without
a non-stick coating, as long as the bottom is ferrous.
It is very easy to check whether or not your cookware will work by using
a fridge magnet or any other permanent magnet. If the magnet sticks
to the bottom of the pot/pan, the cookware will work on an induction
cooktop.

What are the advantages of induction cooking?
Induction cooking allows you to adjust the cooking heat instantly
and with great precision much like a gas burner, but with even more
accuracy.
Induction cooking is also faster, cleaner, safer and more energy ecient
than any other counter top cooking technology.
Faster
Energy is transferred directly to the cookware, there is no wasted heat,
resulting in extremely fast heat up time - even faster than gas.
Cleaner
An induction cooktop only gets hot under the bottom of the cookware.
The area around the cookware does not get hot, so drips, spatters and
spills don’t bake on the induction cooker surface. Simply wipe with a
damp cloth - cleanup is a breeze.
Safer
There are no open ames or hot elements. Induction cooktops will start
only once the appropriate cookware has been placed on the surface
and stops immediately when the cookware is removed. No more burned
ngers or hands and safer around young children.
Energy Ecient
Conventional cooking methods involve generating heat which is then
transferred to cookware. With induction cooking, there is almost no
wasted heat since heat is being generated in the cookware itself. Also,
because there are no open ames or hot elements releasing heat into
your kitchen, your kitchen stays cooler.
What can I cook on an induction cooker?
What you can cook on an induction cooker is no dierent than what you
can cook with gas, an electric coil or any other form of heat. There are
no special recipes or cookbooks.
Portable Induction Cooktops are ideal for everyday use. They can also
be used for camping, cottages, dorm rooms and oces. They can be
used any place a stove is not available or an extra cooking surface is
required.
Induction cooking is very powerful and new users don’t realize how
quickly the pot generates heat. If you have never used induction
cooking we recommend that you practice using the Induction Cooktop
with a pot/pan of water and bring it to a boil several times using dierent
amounts of water and dierent temperature/power settings to familiarize
yourself with how quickly the Induction Cooktop generates heat. In a
very short time you will become familiar with your Induction Cooktop
and enjoy it’s fast, clean, safe and energy ecient features.

Check Function (Check/Vérier Button)
1. Place Clip on the cookware then insert Probe plug into the socket
at the back of the Cooktop (see #5 in Description of Parts). Place
Probe through the holes in the Clip then into food. Arrange the wire

A short supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a long cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked
electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or extension cord
should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If
the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounded 3-wire cord. The extension cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the counter top or table top, where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over.
