IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions before use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or (state
specific part or parts in question) in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance
to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
13. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
14. Household use only.
15. Do not immerse in water.
16. Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the

Please Save These Instructions.
Short Cord Instruction
A short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance; and
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletopwhere it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.This
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

Congratulations on purchasing a Tayama® Countertop Induction Cooktop TIH-
1500X! This 1500 Watt Micro-Induction Cooktop from Tayama® is designed to
provide the best performance, safety and efficiency in cooking. When cookware
is placed on the ceramic surface, currents are induced in the cookware and
instant heat is generated due to the resistance of the pan. Heat is generated only
to the pan and no heat is lost. Since there are no open flames, induction is safer
to use than conventional burners. This 1500 Watt cooktop is designed for
countertop applications and includes two functions: cook and warm. There are
nine power settings and 9 warm settings, allowing you to have complete control
over cooking power. The TIH-1500X has an LED panel for easy temperature
monitoring and the timer can be programmed for up to 8 hours. The control
panel is touch-sensitive and includes a control lock.
Table of Contents
Thank you for purchasing the Tayama® Induction Cooker, please read this instruction
manual carefully before using and keep it for your future reference.

The induction cooker is mainly based on the principle of electromagnetic
induction technology. Current generates variable magnetic field after running
through the wire coil. Eddy current is generated at the bottom when the
magnetic field induces the cooker plate. A large amount of thermal energy
produced can heat the bottom quickly, thus heating up the food very fast,
with thermal efficiency up to 94.36%.

After remove dirt, please use neat wet cloth to clean the unit.
3. Do not clean by water directly, water gets inside may cause
product damage.
4. Make sure the ceramic plate and pan is clean before cooking,
otherwise, dirt after charring is very difficult to clean and the plate
may become discolored.

set on timer).
3. Place cooktop on flat surface, but keep a clearance of 4 inches all
around for proper ventilation. If air inlet or outlet is blocked, the internal
temperature will rise and cause unit to overheat and shutoff during
cooking.
4. Keep away from water source. Never immerse unit in water or clean
under running water.
5. Do not place paper or cloth in between the cooktop and cookware.
6. Due to the magnetic heating of the unit, keep objects that may be

12.The ceramic plate will retain heat from the cookware; never touch
the ceramic plate immediately after cookware is removed. Wait a few
minutes and allow unit to cool.
13.Plug cooktop in a dedicated 15-amp outlet. Do not share the outlet
