General Safety Regulations

The product you have purchased is a state of the art induction cooktop. It adheres
to all of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric ap-
pliance, there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accor-
dance with the instructions provided and only for its intended household use.
ATTENTION:
In order to prevent possible injuries or electric shock, please observe the following
safety rules:
• Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands.
• Be sure to operate the unit on a fl at, level, non-metallic surface.
• Do not connect the induction cooktop to the same outlet with other household
appliances such as microwaves, etc. as it could overload the outlet and trip a
circuit breaker.
• If using an extension cord to connect the cooktop, please note that a damaged
extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. Always check your extension
cord for damage and be sure it is compliant with the required voltage. Be sure not
to place cord where people can trip over it.
• Never attempt to unplug the induction cooktop by pulling on the power cable.
• Do not move the induction cooktop during cooking or with hot cookware on top
of it.
• Do not place any empty cookware on the induction cooktop while it is function-
ing. An empty piece of cookware will heat up very rapidly and can cause material
damage or personal injury.
• Do not place any metal objects on the induction cooktop (other than the cookware
you intend to cook in).
• Check the power cable for damage from time to time. Never operate the induc-
tion cooktop when the cable is damaged. If the power cable shows any signs of
defect, let a qualifi ed electrician repair it.
• Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on the induction cooktop. A heated
can of food could explode. Only cook or heat food in induction compatible cook-
ware.
• Although the surface of the induction cooktop remains cool to the touch because
heat is transferred directly to the pot, please note that the residual heat from the
cookware will eventually warm up the cooking surface, especially the area directly
underneath the pot. Be careful when handling the cooktop after use and let it cool
down before storing.
