Intrigue Induction Ranges
Installation:
This unit is designed to be used in a flat and level position. This unit may not be enclosed in any
area.
IMPORTANT!!: There must me a minimum of 4” (10 cm) of space between the
induction range and any surrounding surfaces to allow sufficient
airflow around the unit. Blocking the airflow could overheat the unit.
Important Precautions to Note Before Using Your Induction Range:
1. Studies have shown that the induction element presents no danger. However, as a precaution
for persons using a pacemaker, please keep 12 inches (30 cm) from the unit while operating.
2. The top is made from a strong, non-porous material. However, in case of cracking or
breakage, discontinue using the unit and disconnect the power immediately.
3. Do not place spoons, kitchen utensils, knives, pan lids or other small objects on the cooking
surface while the unit is operating, as they may also become hot. The unit is equipped with a
“small object detector” to prevent small objects from accidentally heating if placed on the
cooking surface of the unit by themselves. However, if they are placed on the unit with a
suitable piece of cookware that activates the unit, the smaller object may also become hot.
4. Keep all magnetic security strips commonly found on credit cards or on a drivers license
away from the unit as the units magnetic field will damage the information on the security
strip.
Operation:
1. Place the induction range on a flat, stable surface.
2. Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet with the nameplate rated voltage.
IMPORTANT!!: Using a voltage other than the nameplate rated voltage will cause
damage to the unit.

green lamp above the buttons indicates when the unit is heating. The row of lights will
indicate the heating level.
5. The unit will initially turn on in the “HEAT” mode. Push the power select buttons up or
down to the desired heat setting as indicated by the lights below the heat scale. You may also
operate the unit in the “TEMP” mode where the unit will maintain a selected temperature
setting of the top plate. Each time the HEAT/TEMP selector is pressed, the unit will change

running and heating indicator light does not come on, the cooking utensil may not be suitable.
IMPORTANT!!: Do not heat cookware on the unit without something to be heated in the
pan. Because of the speed and efficiency of the induction range, the
cookware can develop an excessive amount of heat very quickly and
damage the cookware and non-stick coatings.
The unit is equipped with an over heating protection device. If the
temperature of the top plate gets too hot, the unit will shut down until the
top plate cools. The heating indicator will flash to indicate the over
heating protection function is on.
7. While the unit is in use it will not harm the unit to remove the cooking utensil for a short time.
If an unsuitable pan is placed on the unit or if the unit is left on for more than 2 minutes
without a pan, the unit will turn off automatically.
Cleaning:
To maintain appearance and increase the service life, the induction range should be cleaned at
least daily.
1. Before cleaning, unplug the unit and let it cool completely.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
The top surface gets very hot during cooking. Hot surfaces and hot
pans can burn skin. Allow the induction range and any cooking
utensils to cool before handling them.
2. Wipe the exterior of the unit with a clean damp cloth.
3. To avoid damaging the finish, do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleaners or scouring
pads to clean the surface of the unit.
4. If mild soap or mild chemical cleaners are used, be sure they are completely wiped away
immediately after cleansing. Chemical residue could corrode the surfaces of the unit.
