Important Safeguards; Electrical Information - NuWave Precision Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical products, especially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be followed.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electrocution:
1. Read all instructions, safeguards, and warnings before using the
appliance.
2. Do not place appliance where it can fall or be pulled into water or other
liquids.
3. Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug
immediately!
4. Do not immerse cord, plug, or unit in water or other liquids.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, electrocution, fire, or injury:
• 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.
• 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, contact IBC-Hearthware, Inc. customer service.
• 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 or cleaning.
• 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.
• In order to avoid overheating, do not place any aluminum foil or metal
plates on the cooking surface. Foil may bond to the Cooktop surface.
3 • THE NUWAVE PRECISION COMPLETE COOKBOOK
• Do not place any magnetized objects like credit cards, cell phones etc.
on the glass surface while the induction cooktop is in operation. The
magnetic properties of the unit can damage these items.
• Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the ventilation slots.
Attention: this may cause electric shock.
• Never use the induction cooktop when 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 water or other liquids and do
not wash it in the dishwasher.
• Do not operate the induction cooktop on any metal table or surface.
• Only qualified experts may perform repair and maintenance work on
the induction cooktop using authentic Hearthware replacement and
accessory parts. Never attempt to dissemble and repair the induction
cooktop yourself!
• This product is not intended for commercial use; it is for household use
only.
• Be sure to always use proper judgment and caution while using this
cooktop in outdoor situations and public areas. Always make sure the
unit is not set up in a place where there are unattended children or
people who are unaware of its presence. Make sure to set up on a flat,
stable surface in an area where there is no nearby water source that
could pose an imminent danger like pools, spas, sprinklers, hoses, etc.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION:

The cord length of this appliance was selected to reduce safety hazards that
may occur with a long cord. Extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked
electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it does not drape over the counter or table top where it could be
accidentally pulled off the counter or table or tripped over.
Certain models of the appliance may have a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit
properly, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any
way.
W A R N I N G
Electric shock hazard. Use with adequate electrical system.
Do not use if cord or plug is damaged.
WARNING: All items on the cooktop can get very hot during
cooking. Please be careful when removing these items from the
cooktop. Always wear oven mitts or use pot holders. Allow
everything to cool completely before cleaning.
