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 appliance,
there are some potential risks. Only operate this induction cooktop in accordance 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 and stable 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 functioning.
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 induction
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 cookware.
• 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.
• Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution using
or standing near an induction unit while it is in operation, as the electromagnetic
fi eld may affect the working of the pacemaker or similar medical device. We advise
consulting your doctor or the pacemaker or similar medical device manufacturer
about your particular situation.
