Please especially observe the safety notices on the following pages. Keep these instructions for future reference and pass them on if you give the hotplate away to someone else. The Function Mode and Product Advantages of Induction Hotplates With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass ceramics. This creates magnetic fields, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect. This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass ceramics. Due to the technical characteristics described above, another advantage is the very short start-up cooking time. In addition, the heat supply promptly adapts to changed settings and can be controlled in small steps. The induction hotplate reacts to changed settings just as fast as a gas stove, as the energy reaches the pot immediately without having to heat up other materials first. The induction technology combines this fast reaction with the basic advantage of electricity, meaning being able to exactly adjust the heat supply. Additional advantages of an induction hotplate:
As the hotplate is only heated up indirectly via the bottom of the cookware, over spilling food cannot stick and burn and there is hardly any danger of burns for the user. The glass ceramics is only heated up by the hot cookware. Once you take the cookware off the hotplate, the device automatically switches to standby mode. The device detects whether suitable cookware is placed on the hotplate. If this is not the case, no energy is transmitted. 2 rior to commissioning Check the device for visible damage. The power connections and the plug may not show any damages. If you detect damage, have the device checked by a qualified technician prior to putting it into operation in order to avoid any danger. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions 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.Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. 15. Clean Cook-Top with Caution If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn, some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. 16. A short power-supply cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. c) If a extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or 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 tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. 17. The appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. 18. Save these Instructions. Attention:
