9 - Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with several, differently sized, induction elements.
Select cookware having flat bottoms, large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. Proper size
pots and pans will also improve efficiency.
10 - DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though
they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.
11. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury..
12. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
13. Do not use aluminum foil, aluminum liners or aluminum containers on the unit.
14. Cookware Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce
the risk of burns, and spillage due to unintentional contact with a pot/pan, which is used for cooking, the
handle of the piece should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
15. Do not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
16. Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Safety Precautions - Read before operating your cooktop
Your induction-cooking unit has been designed for residential use and food preparation, and all of the safety
parameters have been designed accordingly.
The unit incorporates numerous safety devices and controls, a few of which will be mentioned below:
- A number of sensors monitor the temperature of the internal components. If any of these sensors senses
that the component temperature is above the limit, the power output of the unit will automatically be reduced,
allowing the component to cool down. Once this is achieved, the unit will continue to operate normally at the
output level set initially by the operator..
-Each induction element is equipped with a sensor which is continuously monitoring the temperature of the
bottom of the pan to prevent the pan from overheating.
-Each induction element is equipped with a pan sensing device. This device will not allow the element to turn
on unless it senses an induction-compatible pot or pan on the element covering enough surface area. If no
pot/pan is detected, the digital display will flash indicating that there is no power on the element. Once an
induction-compatible piece of cookware is sitting properly on the element, the digital display will become
steady, and the cookware will start heating up. Note that a small object as a fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry,
etc. will not be mistaken for a cooking utensil, and it will not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device will
distinguish between pots and pans which are and are not suitable for induction cooking.
