INDUCTION COOKING UNIT

Model No. DI-1800

HOW DOES YOUR INDUCTION WORK?
A high frequency (20-35KHz) induction coil underneath the ceramic top plate heats the cooking utensil by
magnetic friction. The heat is produced directly within the pan and is controlled by an electronic circuit which
offers superior performance and functions.
During cooking, no energy is lost between the hob and the food. When the unit is switched off, or the pan is
removed, cooking and heating stops immediately.
PRECAUTION BEFORE USING YOUR INDUCTION RANGE
1. The ceramic top is of strong & non-porous properties. In case of breakage, even if it's only slightly
cracked, disconnect the unit from the main power supply and contact the after sales service dealer.
2. The unit is equipped with a 'SMALL OBJECT DETECTOR' It's recommended not to place metal kitchen
utensils, pan lids, knives, or other such objects on the heating zone. If the unit is turned on, there is a risk
that the utensils may become hot.
3. DO NOT place credit cards, cassettes or other magnetic sensitive objects on the ceramic top.
4. Scientific tests have shown that the induction presents no danger whatsoever for persons using a
pacemaker. It is recommended that a distance of 23.6 inches be maintained whilst using the induction
unit.
5. To prevent from over heating, DO NOT place aluminum-foil on the ceramic top.
6. Put the unit on a flat and even surface, but allow a space from the wall or other objects of at least 1.9-3.9
inches to allow for proper ventilation.
7. Immediate clean-up is recommended when any spillage occurs.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS – IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. DO NOT block the air-intake panel, as this may overheat the unit.
2. We recommend pans to be in the range of 4.7~10.2 inches in diameter. Please refer to the next page
for a list of suitable and unsuitable pans.
3. DO NOT touch the hot surface of the ceramic plate. NOTE: The induction unit itself does not produce
any live heat during cooking, however, the heat reflected from the pan will leave the surface of the
ceramic hot!
4. DO NOT cook with empty pots or pans. Heating an empty pan will automatically activate the
overheating protection device and the unit will shut off.
5. Place the induction unit on a flat & even surface and at least 3.9 inches away from the wall and other
objects for proper ventilation
.
6. DO NOT place any objects or tools in the air-intake panel. Doing so may cause electrical shock.
7. To protect against electrical shock, DO NOT immerse the unit, the cord or the plug in or near water or
other liquids.
8. Close supervision is necessary when the induction unit is used or near children.
9. DO NOT operate the induction unit if it has been damaged in any manner or if the unit malfunctions.
Return the unit to the nearest authorized service facility for examination or repair.
10. The use of any accessories or parts not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
11. Keep the power cord away from heat.
12. DO NOT place the induction unit in, on, or near open flames, electric burners, heated ovens or other
high temperature surroundings.
13. DO NOT heat any sealed cans on the induction unit. A heated can may explode.
14. DO NOT move the induction unit while cooking or when the pan is hot.
15. After the induction unit has cooled down, unplug the cord and clean as follows,
CERAMIC PLATE: wipe with damp cloth or use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution.
BODY: wipe the control panel with soft cloth or use a mild cleaner.
16. DO NOT use induction unit for other than intended use.
17. Unplug when not in use.
18. When storing, DO NOT place any objects on top of the induction unit.

SAFETY DEVICES
Automatic Safety Shut-Off,
If the induction unit is left on for more than 60 seconds without a pan or with an incompatible pan, the unit will
automatically shut off.
Material Compatibility Detector
If the pan’s material or it’s dimensions are not suitable for the induction unit, the power indicator light will not
light.
Overtime Detector
If the pan is left on the induction range for more than 2 hours, or if the user does not operate any
functions for more than 2 hours, the range will automatically shut off.
Small Object Detector
The induction unit will not recognize any objects or utensils smaller than 1.9 inches in diameter. For best
results, use pans that are between 4.7 inches and 10.23 inches in diameter.
Overheating Protection Device,
If the temperature of the pan reaches 446oF, and the temperature remains for 60 seconds, the unit will shut off
automatically, there will be a short warning sound.
IC Automatic Reset Device
Main control micro processor equipped with watch "Dog Device", the IC will automatically reset when the
software program malfunctions.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure electrical supply matches the specifications of the data plate located on the base of the unit.
2. Place pan on the centre of the ceramic top.
3. Press power ON/OFF key, power indication lamp will be on.
4. If the heating indictor light is on, then the pan is heating.
5. Rotate control knob to required setting. The LED display will show the setting 1~9.
NOTE
6. If the heating indicating light is OFF and there is a bibibibi (short) sound it indicates that the power is on
but the pan is not suitable OR there is no pan on the ceramic top. The bibibi will sound for 60 seconds
and then automatically turn off.
7. The unit is equipped with an "OVER HEATING DEVICE", which will stop the power when the
temperature of the cookware base is too hot.
The power will automatically start once the temperature of the ceramic plate is reduced.
The heating indicator light will flash to show that the overheating protection function has been activated.
CAUSE OF OVERHEATING
If an empty pan is placed on the ceramic top and the heat is set at maximum, the ceramic surface will
reach a high temperature very quickly. Once the pan is removed from the unit or food/ liquid is added,
the surface temperature of the ceramic top will reduce very rapidly.
