Safety PPrecautions - RRead bbefore ooperating yyour ccooktop
Your induction-cooking unit has been
designed for residential use and food
preparation, and all of the safety parameters
have been rectified accordingly.
The unit incorporates numerous safety
devices and controls, and a few devices will
be mentioned here.
- A number of sensors monitor temperature
of 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 coil 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 coil is equipped with a pan
sensing device. This device will not allow the
heating element to turn on unless it senses
a cooking utensil on the coil covering
enough surface area. The indication that the
coil is not running is the flashing of the
digital display. Once the pan is put properly
on the coil, the digital display will become
steady. Note that a small object such 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 cooking utensils
which are and are not suitable for induction
cooking. If a cooking utensil which is not
suitable for induction cooking is placed on a
coil there will be no power output on the
coil.
- If an operator leans on the keypad by
chance for more then ten seconds, controls
will disable the heating section of the unit.
This occurrence is called ‘long press’ and
when it happens “-” signs will appear on
power displays. The unit will act the same if
there is an accumulation of some liquid on
the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left
sitting on the keypad. The section will
become operational again once the spill or
the object/hand is removed, and the
element turned back on.
In an effort of constantly improving our
products, we reserve the right to make any
changes to internal components, as well as,
to make any(cosmetic) modifications on the
outside frame.
This unit does not contain any asbestos or
asbestos based components.
This unit has been tested and certified
under FCC CFR 47, Part 18, for
electromagnetic interference.
The users with heart pacemakers must
consult with the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to using this cooktop which
incorporates induction heating source.
If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk
of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then
disconnect its breaker, or remove fuses manually.
Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed.
When cooking never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in aluminum foil, nor
products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on the hob. Aluminum foil could melt and damage
vitroceramic glass surface beyond repair.
