IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Before a burner is used for the first time, it should be heated up at
maximum setting for approximately 4 minutes without a pot. This
will burn off any residues on the burner plates.
• The burner may smoke the first time it is used – this is normal, and
the smoke will burn off within a few minutes.
• Do not leave the unit on without any pots/pans on the solid
burners after the initial burn-off process.
• Do not use as a portable heater.
• Make sure the power supply cord does not touch hot elements
or cooking utensils.
• For daily cooking, wipe excess water/condensation off pots, lids
and utensils prior to use.
• Make sure that hot pots or pans do not touch the housing; this
could damage the housing’s finish.
• The larger burners are rated at 1300 watts. The smaller burner
is rated at 500 watts. Use the larger burner for fast cooking, and
use the smaller burner for simmering or warming.

separate burners from the unit.
5. Use a damp, soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface of the
