INTRODUCTION
The Total Chef Induction Cooktop contains a smooth heat-resistant glass
surface. The induction coil is located beneath the glass. With this
technology, there are many reasons to use the Total Chef Induction
Cooktop.
SAFETY - the temperature of the glass top remains low. With an induction
cooktop, the heat necessary for cooking the food is transferred directly
into the pan; the glass hardly heats up at all, as it only receives the heat
from the pan placed on it. If there is no saucepan on the cooktop but the
power is on, the surface will not heat up until a suitable saucepan or pot
is placed on the cooktop.
PRECISION COOKING CONTROL - the Induction Cooktop contains
cooking zones so accurate it is possible to create a constant low temper-
ature for long periods of time, so that soups and casseroles can simmer
away without the likelihood of sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Induction Cooktops are also fast at being capable of reduced cooking
times, and because there is no heat wasted, they use considerably less
energy than other cooktops.
This device is more economical than a conventional cooktop when a pan
is lifted off, the zone stops heating immediately.

SAFETY
Please observe the following safety rules, in order to prevent possible injuries or
electric shock!
• Never touch the induction cooktop and the power plug with wet hands.
• Be sure to operate the unit on a flat, 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.
• Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly rec-
ommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an
extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is a UL-listed (in the United
States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord is 15 Amps (minimum) and 120V. 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 while cooking or with hot cookware on top
of it.
• Do not place any empty cookware on the induction cooktop while it is
functioning. It will heat up very rapidly and can cause material damage or
personal injury.
• Do not place any objects on the induction cooktop, other than the cookware
you intend to cook in.
• Never operate the induction cooktop if the power cable is damaged. If it shows
any signs of defect, let a qualified electrician repair it.
• Do not heat up any unopened cans of food on the induction cooktop, they
could explode.
• 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.
• Scientific tests have proven that induction cooktops do not pose a risk to
health. However, persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance
of two feet from the induction cooktop while it is operating.
• Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots, this may
cause electric shock.
• Never use the induction cooktop if it is not functioning properly, shows signs of
damage or if it has been dropped.
• Do not leave the induction cooktop unsupervised during operation. Keep
children away from the induction cooktop.
• Do not submerge the induction cooktop in any liquids and do not wash it in the
dishwasher.
• Do not operate the induction cooktop on any metal table or surface.
• Only qualified persons may perform repair and maintenance work on the
induction cooktop. Never attempt to dissemble and repair the induction
cooktop yourself!
