2.4 BEFORE FIRST USE
Your induction-cooking unit has been designed
for residential use and food preparation, and all
of the safety parameters have been listed
accordingly.
The unit incorporates numerous safety devices
and controls. A few simple devices will be
mentioned here.
• A number of sensors monitor the temperature
of the internal components. If any of these
sensors detect that the component temperature
is above the limit, the power output of the unit will
automatically be reduced, allowing the compo-
nent to cool down. Once this is achieved, the unit
will continue to operate normally at the output
level set initially by the operator.
• Each induction burner is equipped with a
sensor which is continuously monitoring the
temperature of the bottom of the pan to prevent
the pan from overheating.
• Each induction burner is equipped with a pan
sensing device. This device will not allow the
heating element to turn on unless it senses
cookware on the burner covering enough
surface area. The indication that the burner is not
running is the flashing of the digital display. Once
the pan is put properly on the burner, the digital
display will become steady. Note that a small
object such as a fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry,
etc. will not be mistaken for cookware, and it will
not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device will
distinguish between cookwares which are and
are not suitable for induction cooking. If cookwa-
re which is not suitable for induction cooking is
placed on a burner there will be no power output
on the burner.
• If an operator leans on the keypad by chance
for more then ten seconds, controls will disable
the heating section of the unit. This occurrence is
called ‘long press’ and when it happens “-” signs
will appear on power displays. The unit will act the
same if there is an accumulation of some liquid
on the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left sitting
on the keypad. The section will become opera-
tional again once the spill or the object/hand is
removed, and the element turned back on.
In an effort of constantly improving our products,
we reserve the right to make any changes to
internal components, as well as, to make any
(cosmetic) modifications to the outside frame.
This unit does not contain any asbestos or
asbestos-based components.
This unit has been tested and certified under FCC
part 15 and CFR Title 47, Part 18, for electromag-
netic interference.
The users with heart pacemakers must consult
with the pacemaker manufacturer prior to using
this cooktop which incorporates an induction
heating source.
If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid
any risk of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a
junction box, then disconnect its breaker or remove the fuses manually.
Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed.
When cooking, never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in
aluminum foil, nor products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on a hot cooktop
surface. Aluminum foil could melt and damage vitroceramic glass surface
beyond repair.
