Principle Uses

• Surface cooking with pots and pans for sautéing, pan frying or broiling, braising, stewing and simmering

Special Characteristics

• Coil or solid top surfaces
• No pilot light
• Coils may require preheating
• Coils are slower to respond to heat controls
• Simmer set control for hot top

Operating Hints

• Use with adequate ventilation
• Preheat solid tops
• Solid tops take too long for heating large volumes and may scorch food
• For efficient heat transfer cover as much of surface as possible with pots and pans
• For moist heat methods cover pots and pans to retain liquid and shorten cooking times
• Do not allow handles to protrude
• Avoid spills and boil over which may damage open burners or coils
• Use dry pot holders
• Lift lids away from you

Cleaning

• Wipe spills promptly
• Clean daily using detergent solution
• Rinse and dry washed surfaces
• Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives
• Never pour water on top to cool or wash surfaces

Operating Hints

• Requires proprietary cookware for best results
• Has both warm and cook functions
• Draws up to 1500 W of power from a standard 120 V outlet - one per outlet max
• Pans must be centered and contact "burner" sufficiently to activate energy transfer
• If a magnet sticks to a pan, it may be induction compatible, but may not be induction efficient
• Pans must not contact frame during heat or while they are still hot - unit will be damaged
• Do not use aluminum foil for cooking
• Do not use outdoors
• Buzzer sound indicates overheating
• Pace makers may be affected

Cleaning

• Ceramic surface and stainless steel housing may be wiped clean with a damp cloth
• Water entering air entrance / outlet will damage unit
