Maintaining Your MAX Induction® Range:
Never touch the glass plate immediately after cooking. The surface of the
cooktop may remain hot due to the heat transferred from the cookware.
Do not damage the glass surface of the induction range. If the glass plate is
broken, turn the unit off and unplug it immediately. Call Spring US at (1)
630-527-8600 for service or warranty. Be sure to have your Model # and
Serial Number available when you contact our office, or when completing
the Service Form on the Spring US website.
To clean your M X Induction® Range, unplug the unit from its power
source. Wipe the unit down with a sponge or cloth with a mild
dishwashing liquid. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Do not immerse the induction range directly in water for cleaning – this
will damage the unit.
Remember to clean the vent located on the underside and at the back of the
unit. Induction ranges need ventilation in order to operate properly.
Keep your induction range away from other ovens or stoves. If the
surrounding temperature is hot, your induction range may stop heating.
Never set items such as metal utensils or keys on top of an induction range,
as the range may sense the metal and begin to heat the object.
Note:
Spring US is not responsible for poor performance or damage when
ranges are used in conjunction with non-approved materials.
Our Induction ranges have been designed and tested using Spring US
Professional Cookware and Vessels. Spring US cannot guarantee the
performance of other Vendors’ equipment being used with our M X
Induction® Ranges.
6How To Operate:
www.springusa.com
3
Your M X Induction® Range is designed to operate in two modes: “Cook”
or “Temp”.
“Cook” Mode offers you high-speed heating, used for sautéing, omelet
stations, pasta bars or demonstration cooking.
“Temp” Mode offers you thermostatically controlled holding temperatures
for use with soups, sauces, buffets or pastry work. The LED display allows
for more accurate temperature selection.
In “Cook” Mode:
n ‘E0’ code will flash until suitable cookware is placed on the glass
surface of the range.
The LED panel will display a two-digit number indicating the power
level. Power levels run from 1 thru 20.
As a safety precaution, if no cookware is placed on the induction
range plate after 2-1/2 minutes, the unit will shut off.
Once suitable cookware has been placed on the glass induction plate, the
unit will continue to cook until the range is manually shut down, or the
mode is changed over to “Temp” mode.
Note: As a safety precaution, make sure you have at least 4” of space at
the back of the Induction range. Induction ranges need ventilation to
operate efficiently.
In “Temp” Mode:
n ‘E0’ code will flash until suitable cookware is placed on the glass
surface of the range.
The LED panel will display a three-digit number indicating the
temperature setting. To increase the temperature setting, turn the dial
clockwise. To decrease the setting, turn the dial to the counter-clockwise.
The induction range will continue to warm the food until the set
temperature has been reached. Once the temperature has been reached,
the range will maintain that pre-selected temperature setting.
Temperature settings in “Temp” mode, in Fahrenheit are:
110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, 170°, 180°, 190°, 200°, 220°, 240°,
