These fields can be harmful for persons with passive medical aids such as joint
prostheses. The wearing of jewellery can also result in injuries due to burns.
It is forbidden for persons with active medical aids to be in the immediate
vicinity of the unit when it is in operation. The generated electromagnetic field
may influence the proper function of such medical aids.

There is a risk of the jewellery being heated by the electromagnetic field and
resulting in injuries due to burns.
For this reason, persons with passive implants are recommended not to enter
the immediate vicinity of the induction heater when it is in operation.
Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the electromagnetic fields could cause
damage to electronic and magnetic data media. Keep such equipment away
