OPERATION
Before plugging in your cast-iron burner, check to
ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded
with other appliances. This unit should always be
operated on a separate 120 volt 60 Hz AC circuit.
Be certain that your cast-iron burner is resting
level on the countertop. There is one burner ring
on the CB30 and two burner rings on the CB60.
The large burner plates are rated at 1300 watts.
The smaller burner is rated at 500 watts. Use the
larger burner for fast and high-heat cooking, such
as boiling water, and use the smaller burner for
simmering or warming. Note: Avoid using pans
that are unstable and easily tipped.
1. Place unit on a flat surface.
Note: Be sure to place unit in a safe area and
leave 4 to 6 inches of space above and around
the unit for proper ventilation.
2. Plug unit into electrical outlet. Turn
temperature control dial(s) from OFF to
desired setting. Caution: Do not touch burner
while in use.
3. You can choose a temperature setting
from 1—5.
Setting 1 — Low
Setting 2 — Low/Medium
Setting 3 — Medium
Setting 4 — Medium/High
Setting 5 — High
When burner reaches desired temperature, the
green Ready indicator light will illuminate. Your
burner is now ready for use.
4. Place a pot or pan, in the center of the burner.
It is recommended that you use a pot or pan
that is the same size as the burner.
5. When cooking is complete, turn temperature
control dial(s) to the OFF position.
6. When not in use, unplug unit to ensure that it is
off. This helps prevent accidental burns.
IMPORTANT NOTICES
• Before the cast-iron 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 residue on the
burner plates.
• The cast-iron 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 and high-heat cooking,
and use the smaller burner for simmering
or warming.
