SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, Goodful^™ by Cuisinart^® One Top^® Smart Induction Cooktops are equipped with a 3-conductor cord set that has a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, shown in Figure 2, may be obtained so that a 2-slot wall outlet can be used with a 3-prong plug. Referring to Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate. CAUTION: Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

Note: Use of an adapter is not permitted in Canada.

This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter.

INTRODUCING ONE TOP

Goodful™ by Cuisinart^® One Top^® Smart Induction Cooktop combines induction cooking with precision temperature control, making it easy to cook all your favorite recipes with one compact appliance. When following a recipe in the One Top™ app, One Top^® automatically adjusts its temperature and power settings to precisely match the recipe instructions. For sous vide cooking, One Top's^® thermometer probe precisely controls the temperature of the water to achieve a perfectly cooked dish. Use One Top^® for almost any type of cooking. Sous vide, pan fry, stir fry, grill, simmer, sauté, slow cook, sear, and poach to perfection.

WHAT IS INDUCTION COOKING?

Induction cooking uses electromagnetic fields to heat the pot or pan directly—not the cooktop. Elements beneath the cooking surface produce a magnetic field that causes cookware made of ferrous metals to produce heat. The cooktop does not generate heat until you place cookware on the cooking surface.

WHAT IS SOUS VIDE?

In sous vide (soo-veed) cooking, food is placed in a sealable bag and submerged in water. One Top's^® temperature probe measures the exact temperature of the water to achieve a perfectly cooked dish.

SELECTING COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION COOKTOPS

USE ONLY INDUCTION-READY COOKWARE

Selecting the proper induction-ready cookware is very important to the efficiency of your induction cooktop. As a general rule, copper, aluminum and glassware will not work on an induction cooktop. Cuisinart highly recommends using magnetic stainless steel, enamel, porcelain on steel, or cast iron. If you are not careful in your selection of cookware for your cooktop, the cookware may not work efficiently or possibly may cause damage to the electronics. As a general rule, if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware, it will work on an induction cooktop. If a magnet does not stick to the cookware, it will not work on an induction cooktop. If you are unsure, it is best to check with your local merchant to make sure you are purchasing compatible cookware.

Note: Not for use with pans with diameters smaller than 4.7".

COOKING NOISE

Different types of cookware may produce cooking noise. Heavier pans, like enameled cast iron, produce less noise than lighter pans, like multi-ply stainless steel. The size of the cookware and the amount of its contents can also contribute to the sound level.

The cooling fan may emit a "humming" noise when it turns on to cool the induction elements. The cooling fan turns on shortly after cooking starts.

Depending on the type of cookware you use, there may be a slight "buzz" when cooking at high power levels, or if the pan's contents are cold. As the cookware heats or you reduce the power level, the sound will decrease.
